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.

Does the sun always shine directly overhead at the equator at noon
Nikitich [7]
The sun always shines directly overhead at noon. This is because the equator always gets the equivalent amount of sunlight. The area always get 12 hours of sunlight, because it's 0 degrees north and south and it's at the center of the Earth.

Halleys comet has period of 75.3 years. Using Kepler’s third law, find it’s semimajor axis expressed in astronomical units?
natta225 [31]

Answer: 17.83 AU

Explanation:

According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion <em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.  </em>

T^{2}\propto a^{3}  (1)

Talking in general, this law states a relation between the <u>orbital period</u> T of a body (moon, planet, satellite, comet) orbiting a greater body in space with the <u>size</u> a of its orbit.

However, if T is measured in <u>years</u>, and a is measured in <u>astronomical units</u> (equivalent to the distance between the Sun and the Earth: 1AU=1.5(10)^{8}km), equation (1) becomes:

T^{2}=a^{3}  (2)

This means that now both sides of the equation are equal.

Knowing T=75.3years and isolating a from (2):

a=\sqrt[3]{T^{2}}=T^{2/3}  (3)

a=(75.3years)^{2/3}  (4)

Finally:

a=17.83AU  (5)

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Max height= 36000 meters

Total Time = 120 seconds

Explanation:

0 = U - at

U = at

U= 20*60

U= 1200 m/s

MAX altitude would be

(U²Sin²tita)/2g

Max height= 1200² *( SIN90)²/(2*20)

Time of FLIGHT

2 * 1200/20

2400/20

120 sec onds

If you fall and skid to a stop on a carpeted floor, you can get a rug burn. Much of this discomfort comes from abrasion,but ther
just olya [345]

Explanation:

When you run, your body has a kinetic energy  and when you fall while running, the friction between the carpet and your foot, transforms the kinetic energy into thermal energy or heat energy. This can even cause, real burn if the skin were too hot.
