Why skies are blue but not other colours​

Physics
1 answer:
wolverine [178]3 years ago

Answer:

The Short Answer: Sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered more than the other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

harkovskaia [24]

Solution:

With reference to Fig. 1

Let 'x' be the distance from the wall

Then for \DeltaDAC:

tan\theta = \frac{d}{x}

⇒ \theta = tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}

Now for the \DeltaBAC:

tan\theta = \frac{d + h}{x}

⇒ \theta = tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x}

Now, differentiating w.r.t x:

\frac{d\theta }{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}[tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x} -  tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}]

For maximum angle, \frac{d\theta }{dx} = 0

Now,

0 = [/tex]\frac{d}{dx}[tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x} -  tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}][/tex]

0 = \frac{-(d + h)}{(d + h)^{2} + x^{2}} -\frac{-d}{x^{2} + d^{2}}

\frac{-(d + h)}{(d + h)^{2} + x^{2}} = \frac{{d}{x^{2} + d^{2}}

After solving the above eqn, we get

x = \sqrt{\frac{d}{d + h}}

The observer should stand at a distance equal to x = \sqrt{\frac{d}{d + h}}

John walks 1.00 km north, then turns right and walks 1.00 km east. His speed is 1.50 m/s during the entire stroll.a) What is the
avanturin [10]

Answer:

(a) 1.414 km

(b) 1.06 m/s

Explanation:

(a) For John:

Distance = 1 km north and then 1 km east

Speed = 1.5 m/s

total distance traveled = 1 + 1 = 2 km = 2000 m

Time taken to travel = Distance / speed

t = 2000 / 1.5 = 1333.3 seconds

Displacement = \sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}}=1.414 km

(b) For jane :

Time is same as john = 1333.33 second

Distance = 1.414 km = 1414 m

Speed = distance / time = 1414 / 1333.33 = 1.06 m/s

Planet A has a mass of 2.25 x 1020 kg, while planet B has a
denis23 [38]

The gravitational attraction between two planets is  4905.95 N

<h3>What is gravitational attraction?</h3>

When two objects with masses are placed at a distance, there will an attractive force acting between them.

According to the Newton's law of gravitation, gravitational force is

F = Gm₁m₂ /r²

where r is the distance between the masses m₁ and m₂ and  G is the gravitational constant G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²

Substitute the values into the expression, we get

F =  6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x  2.25 x 10²⁰ x 6.20 x 10¹⁸ / (435,500 x 1000)²

F= 4905.95 N

Thus, the gravitational attraction between two planets is  4905.95 N.
