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.

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s (~ 18 mph). What is the total time it is i
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The total time it is in the air for the ball is 1.6326 s

Given:

Initial velocity = 8 \frac{m}{s}

To find:

the total time it is in the air = ?

Formula used:

t = \frac{v-u}{a}

Where t = time to reach maximum height

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity of ball = 8 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8

Acceleration of gravity is taken as negative because ball is moving in opposite direction.

Solution:

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s.

The time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height is given by,

t = \frac{v-u}{a}

Where t = time to reach maximum height

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity of ball = 8 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8

Acceleration of gravity is taken as negative because ball is moving in opposite direction.

t = \frac{0-8}{-9.8}

t = 0.8163 s

Thus, time taken by the ball to reach the ground again = time taken to reach maximum height

So, Total time required for ball to reach ground = 2t = 2 × 0.8163

Total time required for ball to reach ground = 1.6326 s

The total time it is in the air for the ball is 1.6326 s

Aluminum has an atomic number of 13,  so it has 13 protons. In its natural state, it does not have a charge,  so it has an equal amount of electrons, 13. The atomic mass of aluminum is approximately 27. Since protons and neutrons make up that mass, and each of the particles are around 1 atomic mass unit, if there are 13 protons, then there are 27-13 neutrons, or 14 neutrons. So the first answer choice is correct.

1. You have a cat who has a mass of 10 kg and is
disa [49]

Answer:

1) F = 100N

2) a = 2 m/s²

3) m = 25 kg

Explanation:

1) F = ma ( F = ?, m = 10 kg, a = 10 m/s² )

  F = 10×10

  F = 100 N

2) F = ma ( F = 20N, m = 10 kg, a = ? )

   20 = 10×a

   10a = 20

   a = 20/10

   a = 2 m/s²

3)F = ma ( F = 100N, m = ?, a = 4 m/s² )

  100 = m×4

  4m = 100

  m = 100/4

  m = 25 kg

Hope that helps! Good luck!
