Why is the sky blue? The earth is surrounded by an atmosphere.

Physics

madreJ [45]2 years ago

Answer:

The blue component of the spectrum of visible light has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than the red component. Thus, as sunlight of all colors passes through air, the blue part causes charged particles to oscillate faster than does the red part. The faster the oscillation, the more scattered light is produced, so blue is scattered more strongly than red. For particles such as air molecules that are much smaller than the wavelengths of visible light the difference is dramatic. The acceleration of the charged particles is proportional to the square of the frequency, and the intensity of scattered light is proportional to the square of this acceleration. Scattered light intensity is therefore proportional to the fourth power of frequency. The result is that blue light is scattered into other directions almost 10 times as efficiently as red light.

pshichka [43]

Answer:

v_average = (d₂-d₁) / Δt

this average velocity is not necessarily the velocity of the extreme points,

Explanation:

To resolve the debate, it must be shown that the two have part of the reason, the space or distance between the two points divided by time is the average speed between the points.

             v_average = (d₂-d₁) / Δt

this average velocity is not necessarily the velocity of the extreme points, in the only case that it is so is when there is no acceleration.

Therefore neither of them is right.

At one point in a pipeline, the water's speed is 3.57 m/s and the gauge pressure is 68.7 kPa. Find the gauge pressure at a secon
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The  pressure at point 2 is P_2  = 254.01 kPa

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed at point 1  is  v_1  =  3.57 \ m/s

   The  gauge pressure at point 1  is  P_1  =  68.7kPa =  68.7*10^{3}\  Pa

    The density of water is  \rho  = 1000 \ kg/m^3

Let the  height at point 1 be  h_1 then the height at point two will be

      h_2  =  h_1  -  18.5

Let the  diameter at point 1 be  d_1 then the diameter at point two will be

      d_2  =  2 * d_1

Now the continuity equation is mathematically represented as  

         A_1 v_1  =  A_2 v_2

Here A_1 , A_2  are the area at point 1 and 2

    Now given that the are is directly proportional to the square of the diameter [i.e A=  \frac{\pi d^2}{4}]

   which can represent as

             A \ \  \alpha \ \  d^2

=>         A = c   d^2

where c is a constant

  so      \frac{A_1}{d_1^2}  =  \frac{A_2}{d_2^2}

=>          \frac{A_1}{d_1^2}  =  \frac{A_2}{4d_1^2}

=>        A_2  =  4 A_1

Now from the continuity equation

        A_1  v_1  =  4 A_1 v_2

=>     v_2  =  \frac{v_1}{4}

=>     v_2  =  \frac{3.57}{4}

       v_2  =  0.893 \  m/s

Generally the Bernoulli equation is mathematically represented as

       P_1 + \frac{1}{2}  \rho v_1^2 +  \rho *  g * h_1  =  P_2 + \frac{1}{2}  \rho v_2^2 +  \rho *  g * h_2

So  

         P_2  =  \rho  * g  (h_1 -h_2 )+P_1  +  \frac{1}{2}  *  \rho (v_1^2 -v_2 ^2 )  

=>    P_2  =  \rho  * g  (h_1 -(h_1 -18.3)  + P_1  +  \frac{1}{2}  *  \rho (v_1^2 -v_2 ^2 )

substituting values

        P_2  =  1000  * 9.8  (18.3) )+ 68.7*10^{3}  +  \frac{1}{2}  *  1000 ((3.57)^2 -0.893 ^2 )

       P_2  = 254.01 kPa
