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).

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

4.15 x 10^6 N

Explanation:

Area, A = 1.43 cm^2 = 1.43 x 10^-4 m^2

mass, m = 60.5 kg

Weight, F = m g = 60.5 x 9.8 = 592.9 N

Pressure = Force / Area

P = Weight / Area

P = 592.9 / (1.43 x 10^-4)

P = 4.15 x 10^6 N

Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Maximum speed of the car is 17.37 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the circular track, r = 79 m

The coefficient of friction, \mu=0.39

To find,

The maximum speed of car.

Solution,

Let v is the maximum speed of the car at which it can safely travel. It can be calculated by balancing the centripetal force and the gravitational force acting on it as :

v=\sqrt{\mu rg}

v=\sqrt{0.39\times 79\times 9.8}

v = 17.37 m/s

So, the maximum speed of the car is 17.37 m/s.

How much work does a student (m = 60 kg) do when he Climb a tower 80 m high?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

W = 47040  J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a student, m = 60 kg

Height of the tower, h = 80 m

We need to find the work done in climbing the tower. The work done is given by :

W = mgh

So,

W = 60 × 9.8 × 80

W = 47040  J

So, the required work done is 47040  J.

Which among the following statement/s is correct?
seropon [69]

Answer:

(D) None

Explanation:

The force of gravity is the force pulling every element of matter together. The more the matter the higher the force of gravity.

Examples of this force at work are;

  • The force that causes an apple to fall from the tree
  • The force that causes a rock to roll downside a hill
  • The force causing people to walk on the earth surface instead of floating

The force that facilitates a pen on your hand to write on a paper is friction force between the pen and the paper. Gravitational force acts downwards thus force applied on an object beside you is not the force of gravity.

During a tennis serve, a racket is given an angular acceleration of magnitude 150 rad/s^2. At the top of the serve, the racket h
QveST [7]

Answer:

270 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

α = 150 rad/s²

ω = 12.0 rad/s

r = 1.30 m

Find:

a

The acceleration will have two components: a radial component and a tangential component.

The tangential component is:

at = αr

at = (150 rad/s²)(1.30 m)

at = 195 m/s²

The radial component is:

ar = v² / r

ar = ω² r

ar = (12.0 rad/s)² (1.30 m)

ar = 187.2 m/s²

So the magnitude of the total acceleration is:

a² = at² + ar²

a² = (195 m/s²)² + (187.2 m/s²)²

a = 270 m/s²
