Answer:

Reflection

Explanation:

<em>The particles in the atmosphere only reflect the color blue and and all others are absorbed. Only the reflected colors can be seen from our eyes not the absorbed ones</em>

Answer:

6.75 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = 16 m/s²

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Let y be the distance the rocket is accelerating

960-y is the distance traveled in free fall

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 16\times y+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v^2=32y\ m/s$

In free fall

$v^2-u^2=2g(960-y)\\\Rightarrow 0-32y=2g(960-y)\\\Rightarrow -32y=2\times -9.81(960-y)\\\Rightarrow 960-y=\dfrac{-32}{2\times -9.81}y\\\Rightarrow 960-y=1.63098878695y\\\Rightarrow 960=2.63098878695y\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{960}{2.63098878695}\\\Rightarrow y=364.881828749\ m$

The distance the rocket will keep accelerating is 364.881828749 m

After which it will travel 960-364.881828749 = 595.118171251 m in free fall

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 364.881828749=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 16\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{364.881828749\times 2}{16}}\\\Rightarrow t=6.75353452598\ s$

The time the rocket is accelerating is 6.75 seconds

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

$523269.9\ \text{N/m}$

Explanation:

q = Charge

r = Distance

$q_1=25\ \text{C}$

$r_1=3000\ \text{m}$

$q_2=40\ \text{C}$

$r_2=850\ \text{m}$

The electric field is given by

$E=E_1+E_1\\\Rightarrow E=k(\dfrac{q_1}{r_1^2}+\dfrac{q_2}{r_2^2})\\\Rightarrow E=9\times 10^9\times (\dfrac{25}{3000^2}+\dfrac{40}{850^2})\\\Rightarrow E=523269.9\ \text{N/m}$
