Explanation:
a)Snell's law states that when light travels from a rarer to a denser substance, like air to water or from a less dense layer of the atmosphere to a denser layer, it bends towards the normal{an imaginary line that is perpendicular to the surface of both media}. However,the opposite occurs when light moves from a more dense to a less dense medium. The angle between the normal and the refracted light ray is known as the angle of refraction.
In case of earth as light from the stars enters the earth atmosphere it bends towards smaller angle because the earth density increases as the light travel towards the earth troposphere from the exosphere as per the Snell's law described above.
b)Light rays that travel straight down do not bend, while rays that enter the Earth's atmosphere at a shallower angle get refracted and bend towards the normal, roughly following the direction of the Earth's curvature.
This means that celestial objects in the zenith position directly above you appear in the correct position, while objects closer to the horizon appear to be higher up in the sky than they actually are.
In its most simplest term, Solar Energy is converted into electric energy.
Answer:
5.625km/h
Explanation:
We are given that
Distance between home and market, d=2.5 km
Speed, v1=5km/h
Speed, v2=7.5 km/h
We have to find the average speed of the man over the interval of time 0 to 40min.
Time,
Using the formula
1 hour =60 min
Distance traveled by man in 10 min with speed 7.5 km/h=
Therefore,
Total distance covered=2.5+2.5/2=3.75 km
Time=40 min=40/60=2/3 hour
Average speed=
Average speed=
Answer:
714.286 kg
General Formulas and Concepts:
Physics 1
- Fg = mg
Fg is gravitational force in Newtons
m is the mass of the object in kilograms
g is the gravitational acceleration of Earth: 9.8 m/s^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
7000 N = Fg
g = 9.8 m/s^2
Step 2: Solve for m
1. Substitute: 7000 N = m(9.8 m/s^2)
2. Isolate m: 714.286 kg = m
The sun's declination on the vernal equinox is 30 degrees north
