What happens to light when it hits a opaque object?
When light hits an opaque object, it is absorbed by the object's surface material, leading to a conversion of light energy into thermal energy. The opaque object does not transmit or reflect the light, causing the object to appear solid and non-translucent.
What happens when light energy hits an object?
When light energy hits an object, it can be absorbed, transmitted, reflected, or refracted. The way the light interacts with the object depends on the properties of the material the object is made of and the angle of incidence.
What converts light from the sun into thermal energy?
When sunlight hits an object, the object absorbs some of that light energy and converts it into heat energy through a process called thermal conduction. The absorbed light energy causes the atoms in the object to vibrate more, increasing the object's temperature.
When light hits an object most of the light is absorbed by what?
When light hits an object, most of the light is absorbed by the surface of the object. The absorbed light energy is then converted into heat, which can lead to the object warming up. The color of the object determines how much of the light is absorbed and how much is reflected.
When does a object have the most kinetic energy?
In the case of a falling object, the instant before the object hits the ground. U = KE + PE; PE=-KE . Inversely, the object has the highest potential energy (lowest kinetic energy) at the starting point of the fall.
What happens to k.e. of a bullet when ita penetrates into a target?
When the bullet penetrates into an object its velocity decreases very much or becomes 0 suddenly. This causes a change a momentum of bullet and impulse is applied. Technically the kinetic energy is converted to potential as a deformation occurs inside that object, transferring some of the kinetic energy into the object.

What form of energy can a hot object transfer to the other objects?
Thermal, kinetic (if it hits the other object)...

When a moving object hits another can energy be lost?
No energy is lost in such a collision, although kinetic energy is converted into thermal and possibly into potential energy.
How does sound interact when it hits an object?
One thing we need to know is sound can get transferred only when it hits a medium(like air). The way it travels is by transfering the energy from one particle to the next and so on The sound wave has energy which it would transfer to the object. some part of this energy is tranferred through the object. Some is scattered in all directions
What happens to the color black when light hits it?
When light hits a black object, it is absorbed by the object's surface molecules rather than being reflected. This absorption of light energy causes the object to appear black to our eyes.
What are examples of potential mechanical energy?
>>> A rotating crank shaft on a car contains kinetic energy that is converted to mechanical energy as soon as the clutch released and the gears engage. >>> The raised head on a pile driver is converted to mechanical energy when is dropped and the head hits its target.
