<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> I \propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda^4}

Where,

I is the intensity of scattered light

\lambda 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).

A 10.0 cm object is 5.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 12 cm. What is the distance between the image and th
fiasKO [112]
Let's use the mirror equation to solve the problem:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
where f is the focal length of the mirror, d_o the distance of the object from the mirror, and d_i the distance of the image from the mirror.
For a concave mirror, for the sign convention f is considered to be positive. So we can solve the equation for d_i by using the numbers given in the text of the problem:
\frac{1}{12 cm}= \frac{1}{5 cm}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
\frac{1}{d_i}= -\frac{7}{60 cm}
d_i = -8.6 cm
Where the negative sign means that the image is virtual, so it is located behind the mirror, at 8.6 cm from the center of the mirror.

How much power is used if a force of 54 newtons is used to pull a wagon a distance of 10 meters in 6 seconds?
AnnZ [28]
First, calculate the work done: 54 x 10 = 540J.
Now calculate power: 540 / 6 = 90.
The answer is 90W.

Hope this helps.

Given that an electric field of 3×106V/m3×106V/m is required to produce an electrical spark within a volume of air, estimate the
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Length, l = 33.4 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrical field, E=3\times 10^6\ V/m

Let the electrical potential is, V=10^8\ V

We need to find the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt. The relation between electric field and the electric potential is given by :

V=E\times d\\\\d=\dfrac{V}{E}\\\\d=\dfrac{10^8}{3\times 10^6}\\\\d=33.4\ m

So, the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt is 33.4 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A kite 100 ft above the ground moves horizontally at a speed of 12 ft/s. at what rate is the angle (in radians) between the stri
Viefleur [7K]
<span>Answer: So this involves right triangles. The height is always 100. Let the horizontal be x and the length of string be z. So we have x2 + 1002 = z2. Now take its derivative in terms of time to get 2x(dx/dt) = 2z(dz/dt) So at your specific moment z = 200, x = 100âš3 and dx/dt = +8 substituting, that makes dz/dt = 800âš3 / 200 or 4âš3. Part 2 sin a = 100/z = 100 z-1 . Now take the derivative in terms of t to get cos a (da./dt) = -100/ z2 (dz/dt) So we know z = 200, which makes this a 30-60-90 triangle, therefore a=30 degrees or Ď€/6 radians. Substitute to get cos (Ď€/6)(da/dt) = (-100/ 40000)(4âš3) âš3 / 2 (da/dt) = -âš3 / 100 da/dt = -1/50 radians</span>
