At sunset, the sun appears reddish. What is MOST LIKELY the reason for this phenomenon?
2 answers:
<u>Answer :</u>
(A)" Sunlight travels through a longer distance at sunset and interacts with more particles ".
Explanation :
The sunlight is made up of seven colors. The wavelength of red light is maximum as compared to other colors.
And as per <em>Rayleigh law</em>
Where,
I is the intensity of scattered light
is the wavelength
The scattering of red light is least.
At sunset, the sunlight travels through a longer distance.This is because they are near to horizon.
Also, there are many particles, dust and moisture are present in the atmosphere in the evening. So, the sun appears reddish.
Hence, the correct option is (A).

Answer:
v = 7.67 m/s
Explanation:
Given data:
horizontal distance 11.98 m
Acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/s^2
Assuming initial velocity is zero
we know that
solving for t
we have
substituing all value for time t
t = 1.56 s
we know that speed is given as
v = 7.67 m/s
Answer:
(a) The force, acting on object 'C' is approximately 2.66972 × 10⁻¹⁰ Newtons
(b) The distance of 'C' from 'A', in the direction particle 'B' if there is no meters gravitational force acting on 'C' is appromimately 0.829 meters or 1.877 meters
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The mass of particle, A, m₁ = 2 kg
The mass of particle, B, m₂ = 0.3 kg
The mass of particle, C, m₃ = 0.05 kg
The distance between particle 'A' and particle 'B', r₁ = 0.15 m
The distance between particle 'B' and particle 'C', r₂ = 0.05 m
(a) The gravitational force, 'F', is given as follows;
Where;
F = The force between the two masses
G = The gravitation constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²
m₁ = The mass of object 1
m₂ = The mass of object 2
If 'C' is placed at 0.05 m from 'B', we have;
F₂₃ = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ × 0.05 × 0.3/(0.05²) ≈ 4.00458 × 10⁻¹⁰
The gravitational force between force between particle 'B' and particle 'C', F₂₃ = 4.00458 × 10⁻¹⁰ N (towards the right)
F₁₃ = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ × 0.05 × 2/(0.1²) ≈ × 10⁻¹⁰
The gravitational force between force between particle 'A' and particle 'B', F₁₃ = 6.6743 × 10⁻¹⁰ N (towards the left)
The force, 'F', acting on object 'C' = F₁₃ - F₂₃
F = (6.6743 - 4.00458) × 10⁻¹⁰ = 2.66972 × 10⁻¹⁰ N
The force, acting on object 'C' ≈ 2.66972 × 10⁻¹⁰ N
(b), When there is no gravitational force acting on 'C', let the distance of 'C' from 'A' = x
We have;
F₂₃ = F₁₂
By plugging in the values and removing like terms, we get;
(1.15 - x)² × 2 × 0.05 = 0.3 × 0.05 × x²
0.1·x² - 0.23·x + 1.3225 = 0.015·x²
0.1·x² - 0.23·x + 1.3225 - 0.015·x² = 0
0.085·x² - 0.23·x + 0.13225= 0
x = (0.23± √((-0.23)² - 4 × 0.085 × ( 0.13225)))/(2 × 0.085))
x ≈ 0.829, or x ≈ 1.877
Therefore, the distance of 'C' from 'A', if there is no gravitational force acting on 'C', x ≈ 0.829 m, or x = 1.877 m, in the direction of 'B'
