Why does the sky appear blue?

When you look at an arbitrary point of the sky, but in an other direction away from the sun, you will only see the light that has been redirected because of the atmosphere into our sight. This happens much more often for a blue light rather than red, therefore the sky becomes blue in our view. However, there is also a violet light that is scattered even a little bit more strongly as opposed to blue.

Hello,

Colors that we see in the sky, generally, are retrieved from the light of the sun. In the bright day-time, we see a blue sky since the sun let out its lights. But, why blue? This is because, blue light is scattered throughout the sky from molecules more than all the other colors such as red. And, when the sun begins to set, the blue light slowly fades away which makes the red and orange colors stronger and visible to what we see. 

Hope I've helped, let me know if you need anything else! :)

What is the Net Force?
marshall27 [118]

It is 800 N FN = 600N + 200 N = 800 N Answer to your question: The net force is all Newton's second law. It is the force that acts on a body or a particle. for example: It is the force we make when we push a car or something heavy that is in a straight line. .

An unbalanced force of 500 N is applied to a 75 kg object. What is the acceleration of the object?
NemiM [27]

1. Define Newtons second law of motion (this will help put things into perspective)

2.Get the mass of the object (in this case 75 kg)

3.The net force acting on the object...find it (in this case 500 N)

4.Change the equation to F=ma (500=75a)

5.Divide both sides by 75 and that is the acceleration.

A bag containing 0ºC ice is much more effective in absorbing energy than one containing the same amount of 0ºC water.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.

Explanation:

Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart such that, in the liquid, the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature. Similarly, energy is needed to vaporize a liquid, because molecules in a liquid interact with each other via attractive forces. There is no temperature change until a phase change is complete. The temperature of a cup of soda initially at 0ºC stays at 0ºC until all the ice has melted. Conversely, energy is released during freezing and condensation, usually in the form of thermal energy. Work is done by cohesive forces when molecules are brought together. The corresponding energy must be given off (dissipated) to allow them to stay together Figure 2.

The energy involved in a phase change depends on two major factors: the number and strength of bonds or force pairs. The number of bonds is proportional to the number of molecules and thus to the mass of the sample. The strength of forces depends on the type of molecules. The heat Q required to change the phase of a sample of mass m is given by

Q = mLf (melting/freezing,

Q = mLv (vaporization/condensation),

where the latent heat of fusion, Lf, and latent heat of vaporization, Lv, are material constants that are determined experimentally.

A ball with a momentum of 16 kg.M/s strikes a ball at rest. What is the total momentum of both the balls after the collision.
melomori [17]

Answer:

Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s

Explanation:

Let the momentum of the two balls be A and B respectively.

Momentum A = 16 kgm/s

Momentum B = 0 kgm/s (since the ball is at rest).

Total momentum = A + B

Total momentum = 16 + 0

Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity
