Answer: The correct answer is "A light beam’s path becomes visible in mist".

Explanation:

Scattering: It is the phenomenon in which there is change in the direction of the motion of the particle due to the collision of particle with the another particle.

The molecules and particles are found in the atmosphere. These particles in the atmosphere have the ability to scatter radiation in all direction.The particles or molecules are the scattered particles for the light.

From the given options, the best observation can be explained by the scattering of light is "A light beam’s path becomes visible in mist". Here, the particles of the mist scatter the light and these particles make the path visible for the light.

Therefore, the correct option is (C).

Answer:

<em>The ball will go as high as 8.46 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Projectile Motion</u>

It's the type of motion that experiences an object launched at a certain height above the ground and moves along a curved path exclusively under the action of gravity.

Being vo the initial speed of the object, θ the initial launch angle, and g the acceleration of gravity, then the maximum height hm can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle h_m=\frac{v_o^2\cdot \sin^2\theta}{2g}

The soccer ball is kicked at a speed of vo=24 m/s at an angle of θ=31°. Taking the value of g=9.8 m/s^2, then:

\displaystyle h_m=\frac{24^2\cdot \sin^2 31^\circ}{2\cdot 9.8}

\displaystyle h_m=\frac{576\cdot 0.2653}{19.6}

h_m=7.80~m

The ball will go as high as 8.46 m

A system consists of N particles that can occupy two energy levels: a nondegenerate ground state and a three-fold degenerate exc
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Ng = 0.893 N,  Ne = 0.107N

Explanation:

Number of particles in Ground state = Ng

Number of particles in Excited state = Ne

Ne/Ng = e^{(-ΔE)/kt}

Since excited state is 3 fold degenerate

Ne/Ng =3 x e^{(-ΔE)/kt}

ΔE = Energy difference between ground and excited states = 0.25eV

T = 960 K

Constant k = 8.617 x 10^-5 eV/K

Ne/Ng = 3 x e^{-0.25/(8.617x10^-5) x 960}

           = 3 x e^(-3.188645)

           = 3 x 0.0412 = 0.1237 ≅ 0.12

Ne = 0.12 Ng

but Ne + Ng = N, where is N is total number of particles, substituting Ne into equation we get,

Ng(1 + 0.12) = N

Ng = N/1.12 = 0.893N

and Ne = 0.12 x 0.893 N = 0.107 N

Momentum ap physics 1
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The correct option is;

B. Object X travels at -2 m/s and object Y travels at 4 m/s after the spring is no longer compressed

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of object Y = M

The mass of object X = 2·M

The initial velocity of object X and object Y = 0 m/s

Let A represent the velocity of object X after the spring is released and B represent the velocity of object Y after the spring is released, therefore, by the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, we have;

(M + 2·M) × 0 = M × B + 2·M × A

∴ (M + 2·M) × 0 = 0 = M × B + 2·M × A

M × B = -2·M × A

∴ B = -2·A

Therefore, the velocity of the object Y = -2 × The velocity of the object X

Whereby the velocity of the object X = -2, The velocity of the object Y = -2 × -2 = 4

Which gives, object X travels at -2 m/s and object Y travels at 4 m/s after the spring is no longer compressed.
