Imagine you are standing in the antarctic during the southern hemisphere summer. the sky is clear and blue. there are no clouds

in the sky. your shadow is cast on the icy ground. what is the color of the shadow?

6 0

Answer:

The shadow will appear dark

Explanation:

Your shadow is caused by your body blocking incident light rays from reach the ground under the shadow area. The absence of light means there will be no light reflected from the ground making it appear dark.

Rather than ascribing the increased kinetic energy of the stone to the work of gravity, we now (when using potential energy rath
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Change/ Potential

Explanation:

Work is the amount of energy required to perform an action that is for a force to cause a displacement.

From work-energy theorem, work done by body is equal to change in its kinetic energy.

Work of gravity is basically the potential energy stored in the body due to gravity. From the law of conservation of mechanical energy, increased kinetic energy comes from the change of the potential energy of the stone.

The white dwarf that remains when our sun dies will be mostly made of
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Carbon and oxygen

Explanation:

White dwarfs are the stars which have used all their hydrogen and helium fuel and now exists with only carbon and oxygen in their core. Their size reduces up to one hundredth times of the size of their sun in early stages and yet they possess the same mass.  

Due to loss of fuels and impact of gravity, a young star collapses on itself leading to formation of dwarf star.

New 5G networks utilize millimeter-wave radiation. Millimeter-wave radiation refers to electromagnetic waves with frequencies in
seraphim [82]

Answer:

It corresponds to 1mm-10 mm range.

Explanation:

  • Electromagnetic waves (such as the millimeter-wave radiation) travel at the speed of light, which is 3*10⁸ m/s in free space.
  • As in any wave, there exists a fixed relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength, as follows:

        v = \lambda * f  (1)

  • Replacing v= c=3*10⁸ m/s, and the extreme values of f (which are givens), in (1) and solving for λ, we can get the free-space wavelengths that correspond to the 30-300 GHz range, as follows:

       \lambda_{low} = \frac{c}{f_{high}}  = \frac{3e8m/s}{300e9Hz} = 1 mm (2)

      \lambda_{high} = \frac{c}{f_{low}}  = \frac{3e8m/s}{30e9Hz} = 10 mm (3)

You stand on a bridge above a river and drop a rock into the water below from a height of 25 m. (Assume no air resistance)
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

PART a)

here when stone is dropped there is only gravitational force on it

so its acceleration is only due to gravity

so we will have

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2

Part b)

Now from kinematics equation we will have

y = v_i t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

now we have

y = 25 m

so from above equation

25 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(9.8 )t^2

t = 2.26 s

Part c)

If we throw the rock horizontally by speed 20 m/s

then in this case there is no change in the vertical velocity

so it will take same time to reach the water surface as it took initially

So t = 2.26 s

Part D)

Initial speed = 20 m/s

angle of projection = 65 degree

now we have

v_x = vcos\theta

v_x  = 20 cos65 = 8.45 m/s

v_y = vsin\theta

v_y = 20 sin65 = 18.13 m/s

PART E)

when stone will reach to maximum height then we know that its final speed in y direction becomes zero

so here we can use kinematics in Y direction

v_f - v_y = at

0 - 18.13 = (-9.8) t

t = 1.85 s

so it will take 1.85 s to reach the top
