Answer: the refraction of light by the atmosphere

Explanation: Refraction is the phenomenon in which there is a change in direction of light passing from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium.

Here in case of sunset, the sun rays passes through the varying density of atmosphere because of varying concentrations of dust particles.

Reflection is the phenomenon in which the light bounces back after falling on a surface.

Absorption is the phenomenon in which matter captures the electromagnetic radiations and thus the energy of photons is converted to internal energy of the system.

A projectile is launched into the air with the initial speed of vi = 40 m/s at a launch angle of 20 degrees above the horizontal
Sphinxa [80]

The range of the projectile is 188 m

Explanation:

The motion of the arrow in this problem is a projectile motion, so it follows a parabolic path which consists of two independent motions:  

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction  

The path of a projectile is the combination of these two motions: see figure in attachment.

In order to find the horizontal range of the projectile, we just need to calculate the horizontal distance travelled.

We have:

t = 5.0 s (time of fligth of the projectile)

and the horizontal velocity is constant, and it is given by

v_x = v_i cos \theta

where

v_i = 40 m/s is the initial velocity

\theta=20^{\circ} is the angle of projection

Substituting,

v_x = (40)(cos 20^{\circ})=37.6 m/s

And therefore, the range of the projectile is:

d=v_x t = (37.6)(5.0)=188 m

Name three types of energy that exist in a large piece of charcoal on a grill in the sunlight. Explain why the charcoal has each
qaws [65]

Answer:

A large piece of charcoal on a grill in the sunlight (if it's burning) will consist of the following types of energy:

  1. Chemical
  2. Heat and
  3. Light

Explanation:

Charcoal is basically carbon which is produced when wood is heated strongly in the absence of oxygen. From a chemistry point of view, charcoal contains combustible carbon whose chemical formula is C. Sometimes, H_{2}O which is water may be found in it but in very small units.

All matter contains Heat energy. Charcoal is not an exception. As the charcoal burns, the heat energy is produced along with Light energy.

Light comes in many forms such as Infrared rays, Xrays, Visible Spectrum light, etc.

The glow which the coal gives off fall under the visible spectrum of light.

Here's a question from ~ [ AIEEE 2002 ]
lyudmila [28]
  • r=150m
  • coefficient of friction=\mu=0.6

As car is avoid skidding

\\ \sf\hookrightarrow \dfrac{mv^2}{r}=\mu mg

  • Cancel m

\\ \sf\hookrightarrow \dfrac{v^2}{r}=\mu g

\\ \sf\hookrightarrow v^2=\mu rg

\\ \sf\hookrightarrow v^2=0.6(10)(150)

\\ \sf\hookrightarrow v^2=60(150)

\\ \sf\hookrightarrow v^2=900

\\ \sf\hookrightarrow v=30ms^{-1}

Done
