Why Is The Sky Blue?

When you shine light through a prism, you see the whole spectrum of light, or a rainbow, if you will.

So, when the sunlight enter's Earth's atmosphere, the sunlight is scattered in every direction by the air of the Earth (note that this happens on a molecular level). The color blue is scattered more than any other color since it has shorter and smaller waves than the other colors.

Because it is a large object and when the light hits it all the colors are absorbed except blue is reflect same thing with the ocean.

what was the mass of a cannkn ball whose velocity is 200m/s if it were shot from 1000kg that recoils a 2m/s. Solve step by step​
Whitepunk [10]

The famous Newton’s Third Law states that “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.”

By using this,

10grams or 0.01kg of bullet with speed 400 m/sec and 5kg gun recoil with speed suppose ‘v’.

0.01×400=5×v

4/5=v

v=0.8m/sec ANSWER.

PLEASE HELP
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

h = 1.8 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the glove, u =- 6 m/s

We need to find the maximum height of the glove. Let it is equal to h. Using equation of kinematics. At the maximum height v = 0

v^2-u^2=2ah, h is the maximum height and a = -g

0^2-(6)^2=2\times (-10)\times h\\\\h=\dfrac{36}{20}\\\\h=1.8\ m

Hence, it will go up to a height of 1.8 m.

A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s. D A 33% Part (a) How long does it take to reach its top speed of
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a) 17.49 seconds

b) 13.12 seconds

c) 2.99 m/s²

Explanation:

a) Acceleration = a = 1.35 m/s²

Final velocity = v = 85 km/h = 85\frac{1000}{3600}=23.61\ m/s

Initial velocity = u = 0

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 23.61=0+1.35t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.35}=17.49\ s

Time taken to accelerate to top speed is 17.49 seconds.

b) Acceleration = a = -1.8 m/s²

Initial velocity = u = 23.61\ m/s

Final velocity = v = 0

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61-1.8t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.8}=13.12\ s

Time taken to stop the train from top speed is 13.12 seconds

c) Initial velocity = u = 23.61 m/s

Time taken = t = 7.9 s

Final velocity = v = 0

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61+a7.9\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{-23.61}{7.9}=-2.99\ m/s^2

Emergency acceleration is 2.99 m/s² (magnitude)

Describe a well-known hypothesis that was discarded because it was found to be untrue.earth-centered model of the universe. the
polet [3.4K]
The widely accepted hypothesis before that turned out wrong was the Earth-Centered theory or the Geocentric Theory. This was proposed by the philosopher Ptolemy. He came about to this hypothesis from hi observation that from the Earth's perspective, the celestial bodies like the Sun, stars and the moon, look like they rotate around the Earth each day and night. However, this was disproved by Galileo Galelei by his Heliocentric Theory. He observed through the telescope that the Venus also changes phases like the moon. However, he deduced that this is not possible from the positions of the Venus, Earth, Moon and Sun.
