The result of the Sun's light being refracted when it is high in the sky around noon is blue, indigo and violet are strongly bent that mostly skim through the upper atmosphere making the sky appear blue. The refraction of the light during noon makes the sky blue.

Explanation:

Refraction is the phenomenon which occurs when there is change in the direction of the light while traveling from one medium to the another medium.

Our atmosphere consists of the rarer medium and denser medium. The light gets refracted from when it travels from the sun. Blue, indigo and violet are strongly bent than any other colors. The blue has a shorter wavelength. Blue light is scattered more by the tiny air molecules than any other colors. Therefore, the sky appear blue in noon.

A 0.560 kg snowball is fired from a cliff 14.2 m high with an initial velocity of 13.3 m/s, directed 26.0° above the horizontal.

enot [183]

Answer:

a) v = 21.34 m/s

b) v = 21.34 m/s

c) v = 21.34 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of the snowball, m = 0.560 kg

Height of the cliff, h = 14.2 m

Initial velocity of the ball, u = 13.3 m/s

θ = 26°

The speed of the slow ball as it reaches the ground, v = ?

The initial Kinetic energy of the snow ball, $KE_{0} = 0.5 mu^{2}$

Potential energy of the snow ball at the given height, PE = mgh

Final Kinetic energy of the ball as it reaches the ground, $KE_{f} = 0.5mv^{2}$

a) Using the principle of energy conservation,

$KE_{0} + PE = KE_{f} \\0.5mu^{2} + mgh = 0.5mv^{2}\\v^{2} =2( 0.5u^{2} + gh)\\v^{2} =u^{2} + 2gh\\v = \sqrt{u^{2} + 2gh} \\v = \sqrt{13.3^{2} + 2*9.8*14.2}\\v = 21.34 m/s$

b) The speed remains v = 21.34 m/s since it is not a function of the angle of launch

c)The principle of energy conservation used cancels out the mass of the object, therefore the speed is not dependent on mass

v = 21. 34 m/s

The energy transfer diagram represents the energy of a person diving into a pool.

GREYUIT [131]

The answer is A) 1000 J
According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy before an action is always equal to the total energy after the action.
So that is, the total energy is 8000J found as potential energy, 7000J has transformed into kinetic energy, then the thermal energy should be the remaining 1000J.

Hope this helps.

A proton is initially moving west at a speed of 1.10 106 m/s in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.281 T directed verticall

kifflom [539]

Answer:

so here it will move in circle with radius 4.06 cm

Explanation:

As we know that proton is moving towards west while the magnetic field is vertically upwards

So here the force on the proton must be perpendicular to the velocity

So here we have

$F = q(\vec v \times \vec B)$

so here we have

$F = qvB sin90$

since force is perpendicular to the velocity so here it must be centripetal force

here we have

$\frac{mv^2}{R} = qvB$

so we have

$R = \frac{mv}{qB}$

$R = \frac{(1.66 \times 10^{-27})(1.10 \times 10^6)}{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(0.281)}$

$R = 4.06 cm$

so here it will move in circle with radius 4.06 cm

Why would an insurance company want people to avoid risk, like Nick Cannon having to avoid skydiving?

Lina20 [59]

An insurance company wants people to avoid risks because if the person meets with an accsident the expense of the medicines and treatment should be covered by the insurance company.

sattari [20]

Answer:

12 units

Explanation:

Original F = C q1q2/r^2 now change the parameters

New F = C 1/3 q1 2 q2 / (2r)^2

= 2/12 C q1q2/r^2 <=======the new force is 1/6 of original

1/6 * 72 = 12 units
