Answer:

The colors of the sunset result from a phenomenon called scattering. Molecules and small particles in the atmosphere change the direction of light rays, causing them to scatter. ... The short-wavelength blue and violet are scattered by molecules in the air much more than other colors of the spectrum.

A basketball player standing under the hoop shoots the ball straight up with an initial velocity of v0Part (a) What is the maxim

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Maximum height will be $h=\sqrt{\frac{v_0^2}{2g}}$

Explanation:

We have given initial velocity through which basketball is thrown $=v_0$

Acceleration due to gravity $=g\ m/sec^2$

At maximum height velocity will be zero

So final velocity v = 0 m /sec

According to third equation of motion $v^2=u^2+2gh$

$0^2=v_0^2-2gh$ ( Negative sign is due to upward acceleration )

$h=\sqrt{\frac{v_0^2}{2g}}$

A ball of mass 4.5 kg moving with speed of 2.2 m/s in the +x-direction hits a wall and bounces back with the same speed in the x

Levart [38]

Answer:

The change of the momentum of the ball is $-19.8\, \frac{mkg}{s}$

Explanation:

We should find $\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=\overrightarrow{p_{f}}-\overrightarrow{p_{i}}$ (1)with $\overrightarrow{p_{i}}$ the initial momentum and $\overrightarrow{p_{f}}$ the final momentum. Linear momentum is defined as $\overrightarrow{p}=m\overrightarrow{v}$ , using that on (1):

$\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=m \overrightarrow{v_{f}}-m \overrightarrow{v_{i}}$ (2)

It's important to note that momentum and velocity are vectors and direction matters, so if +x direction is the direction towards the wall and the -x direction away the wall $\overrightarrow{v_{i}}=+2.2\, \frac{m}{s}$ and $\overrightarrow{v_{f}}=-2.2\, \frac{m}{s}$ so (2) becomes:

$\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=m(-2.2- (+2.2))=-(4.5)(4.4)$

$\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=-19.8\, \frac{mkg}{s}$

If you quadruple the temperature of a black body, by what factor will the total energy radiated per second per square meter incr

A solar eclipse will occur Group of answer choices

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

3. at new Moon only when the Moon is on the ecliptic.

Explanation:

Solar eclipse is the condition when the moon comes in between the sun and the earth. In this condition the moon casts its shadow on the earth.

Whether the eclipse is a total solar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse or an annular solar eclipse depends on various factors, but the position of the moon must be on the same orbital plane as that of the earth's orbit around the sun.

The sun is about 400 times larger than the moon in size and the sun is almost 400 times farther from the earth than the moon is, this makes it possible for the moon to cover the sun completely leading to a complete solar eclipse.

As we know that the orbit of the earth around the sun and the orbit of the moon around the earth is elliptical which leads to a variation in the distance from their rotating centers, so not of every eclipse the moon covers the sun completely developing an annular eclipse.

When the moon is close enough to the earth on the ecliptic but not completely aligned in between the sun and the earth leads to a partial solar eclipse.
