Shadows are formed when an opaque object or an object that doesn't allow light to pass through is in the way or infront of etc. a source of light.

It is shown when you are covering the light.  So like when the sun is shining down at you, you are standing so the stuff behind you is not getting light because you are in its way. 
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!! ;-)

A physics teacher performing an outdoor demonstration suddenly falls from rest off a high cliff and simultaneously shouts help.
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

H = 532 m

Explanation:

When teacher falls into the cliff then she shout for Help at the same time

so here we know that sound will go down and reflect back up

so here in 3 s distance traveled by the sound

d = vt

d = 340 \times 3

d = 1020 m

now in the same time the distance that teacher will fall down is given as

d_1 = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

d_1 = \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(3^2)

d_1 = 44.1 m

now total distance traveled by teacher and sound in 3 s

d_{total} = d + d_1

d_{total} = 1020 + 44.1

this total distance must be equal to twice the height of the cliff

2H = 1064.1 m

H = 532 m

Compared to a blue star in the same local cluster, the surface temperature of a red star is a) greater. b) the same. c) lower. d
Andrew [12]

Hello! My name is Zalgo and I am here to help you out on this concluding day. The answer would be C);lower. The reason it would be lower is because the hottest color of flames would be blue. Considering the way a start emits light is fire, this would be the most logical reason for it.

I hope that this helps! :P

A plane flies from base camp to lake a, 200 km away in the direction 20.0° north of east. after dropping off supplies it flies t
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Distance of lake a is 200 km at 20 degree north of east

distance between lake a and b is 230 km at 30 degree west of north

now the distance between base and lake b is given as

d = d_1 + d_2

given that

d_1 = 200 cos20 i + 200 sin20 j

d_1 = 187.94 i + 68.4 j

d_2 = -230 sin30 i + 230 cos30 j

d_2 = -115 i + 199.2 j

now the total distance is

d = (187.94 - 115)i + (199.2 + 68.4)j

d = 72.94 i + 267.6 j

now the magnitude of the distance is given as

d = \sqrt{72.94^2 + 267.6^2}

d = 277.4

also the direction is given as

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{267.6}{72.94}

\theta = 74.7 degree

<em>so it is 277.4 km at 74.7 degree North of East</em>

A small sandbag is dropped from rest from a hovering hot-air balloon. (assume the positive direction is upward.) (a) after 1.5 s
marishachu [46]

solution:

We know v0 = 0, a = 9.8, t = 4.0. We need to solve for v

so,

we use the equation:

v = v0 + at

v = 0 + 9.8*4.0

v = 39.2 m/s

Now we just need to solve for d, so we use the equation:

d = v0t + 1/2*a*t^2

d = 0*4.0 + 1/2*9.8*4.0^2

d = 78.4 m

When light in vacuum is incident at the polarizing angle (Brewster's angle) on a certain glass slab, the angle of refraction is
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

θ( p ) + θ( r ) = 90  

θ (r) = angle of refraction and θ ( p ) is polarising angle.

given θ ( r ) = 31.8

θ ( p ) = 90 - 31.8 = 58.2 degree

ii ) Tanθ ( p ) = n ( refractive index ) = Tan 58.2 = 1.6
