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 rocket is fired at 100 m/s at an angle of 37, how many seconds is it in the air?

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

12.3 seconds

Explanation:

time in air = 2(v)/g

2(100sin(37))/9.8

=12.28 seconds

Two pipes move the same amount of ideal fluid in the same amount of time. One pipe has a 2 in. diameter; the other has a 3 in. d

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

a) 3-in. pipe

Explanation:

Given that

Fluid flow is in same amount in the same time it means that volume flow rate is same for the pipes

Volume flow rate

Q = A V

A=Area ,V=Velocity

$A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2$

If diameter d is more then the velocity will be less for same volume flow rate .We also Know that if pressure is more then the velocity will be less.

The second pipe 3 in diameter having more diameter then the velocity will be less but the pressure will be more.

That is why the 3 in diameter is having more pressure than 2 in diameter pipe.

Therefore the answer will be a.

a) 3-in diameter pipe

An airliner arrives at the terminal, and its engines are shut off. The rotor of one of the engines has an initial clockwise angu

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

(a) 1200 rad/s

The angular acceleration of the rotor is given by:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}$

where we have

$\alpha = -80.0 rad/s^2$ is the angular acceleration (negative since the rotor is slowing down)

$\omega_f$ is the final angular speed

$\omega_i = 2000 rad/s$ is the initial angular speed

t = 10.0 s is the time interval

Solving for $\omega_f$ , we find the final angular speed after 10.0 s:

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t = 2000 rad/s + (-80.0 rad/s^2)(10.0 s)=1200 rad/s$

(b) 25 s

We can calculate the time needed for the rotor to come to rest, by using again the same formula:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}$

If we re-arrange it for t, we get:

$t = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\alpha}$

where here we have

$\omega_i = 2000 rad/s$ is the initial angular speed

$\omega_f=0$ is the final angular speed

$\alpha = -80.0 rad/s^2$ is the angular acceleration

Solving the equation,

$t=\frac{0-2000 rad/s}{-80.0 rad/s^2}=25 s$

If you were capable of converting mass to energy with 100%, efficiency, how much mass would you need to produce 3.5x10^12 Joules

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a) 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ kg

Explanation:

The amount of mass required to produce the energy can be given by Einstein's formula:

$E = mc^2\\\\m = \frac{E}{c^2}$

where,

m = mass required = ?

E = Energy produced = 3.5 x 10¹² J

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

$m = \frac{3.5\ x\ 10^{12}\ J}{(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)^2} \\\\m = 3.9\ x\ 10^{-5}\ kg$

Hence, the correct option is:
