The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material
<u>Explanation:</u>
When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.
But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.
Answer: work = 1,305kJ
Explanation:
angle= 30°
force= 1,500N
distance= 1,000m
The formula for work is : Work= force x distance, however there is an angle of 30° between the direction of force applied and the direction of motion, therefore force must be decomposed to its value on the horizontal axis which is the direction of motion by using the cosine of the very angle.
W= F×cos(α)×D
W= 1,500×cos (30)×1,000
W= 1,305kJ ( kilojoules)
