The weight of materials in safety boots is not really an important factor. What's important is for the material to be strong. Older safety boots are usually made with steel covering the toes, which protected them from heavy items being dropped on them. Newer Safety boots can be made with titanium or special plastic coverings that protect your toes just as well, but are much lighter.

Why do astronauts wear heavy boots?

Their boots aren't heavy in outer space because there is no gravity. Actually the boots are relatively light compared to their size; but the materials used in their construction (kevlar, polymers, metals 7-10 layers of rugged material) are there to ensure the astronaut's safety by protecting them from the vacuum and temperature extreems of space. With all that material, their boots would be a little more heavy than their earthy counter-parts, but the weight isn't a factor in their design. In fact, lighter boots would be better in outer space because it costs so much money per pound of cargo to get things into orbit. It only stands to reason that the flight engineers would want everything to be as strong and light as possible.

What is the difference between heavy hole and light hole in semiconductor physics?

In semiconductor physics, heavy holes and light holes are types of charge carriers with different effective masses. Heavy holes have a larger effective mass and move more slowly than light holes in a semiconductor material. This difference in mobility affects the electronic properties of the material, such as conductivity and energy levels.

What happens when light strikes a heavy object?

When light strikes a heavy object, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. The specific outcome depends on the material composition and surface characteristics of the object. Some materials may absorb the light energy and convert it into heat, while others may reflect the light, making the object visible.
