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.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

4.5 m/s

Explanation:

The rock must barely clear the shelf below, this means that the horizontal distance covered must be

d_x = 5 m

while the vertical distance covered must be

d_y = 6 m

The rock is thrown horizontally with velocity v_x, so we can rewrite the horizontal distance as

d_x = v_x t

where t is the time of flight. Re-arranging the equation,

t=\frac{d_x}{v_x} (1)

The vertical distance covered instead is

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

where we omit the term ut since the initial vertical velocity is zero. From this equation,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2d_y}{g}} (2)

Equating (1) and (2), we can solve the equation to find v_x:

\frac{d_x}{v_x}=\sqrt{\frac{2d_y}{g}}\\\frac{d_x^2}{v_x^2}=\frac{2d_y}{g}\\v_x = d_x \sqrt{\frac{g}{2d_y}}=5\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{2(6)}}=4.5 m/s

a steam engine work on its vicinity 285 k heat is released with the help of 225 c energy absorbed to the system what is the effi
zvonat [6]

The efficiency of steam engine is  26.66 %.

<h3>What is Efficiency?</h3>

The efficiency is defined as the work done by the engine divided by the heat supplied.

Work done is the difference between the heat supplied and heat rejected.

So, efficiency η = (Qs -Qr) / Qs

Given is the heat supplied Qs = 225 Joules and heat rejected Qr =285 . then the work done is

W = 225 -225 = - 60 Joules

Efficiency η  = 60/225 x 100%

η = 26.66 %

Thus, the efficiency of the steam engine is  26.66 %.

Learn more about efficiency.
