Answer: the refraction of light by the atmosphere
Explanation: Refraction is the phenomenon in which there is a change in direction of light passing from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium.
Here in case of sunset, the sun rays passes through the varying density of atmosphere because of varying concentrations of dust particles.
Reflection is the phenomenon in which the light bounces back after falling on a surface.
Absorption is the phenomenon in which matter captures the electromagnetic radiations and thus the energy of photons is converted to internal energy of the system.
Answer:
The velocity of the cart at the bottom of the ramp is 1.81m/s, and the acceleration would be 3.30m/s^2.
Explanation:
Assuming the initial velocity to be zero, we can obtain the velocity at the bottom of the ramp using the kinematics equations:

Dividing the second equation by the first one, we obtain:

And, since
, then:

It means that the velocity at the bottom of the ramp is 1.81m/s.
We could use this data, plus any of the two initial equations, to determine the acceleration:

So the acceleration is 3.30m/s^2.
Answer:at 21.6 min they were separated by 12 km
Explanation:
We can consider the next diagram
B2------15km/h------->Dock
|
|
B1 at 20km/h
|
|
V
So by the time B1 leaves, being B2 traveling at constant 15km/h and getting to the dock one hour later means it was at 15km from the dock, the other boat, B1 is at a distance at a given time, considering constant speed of 20km/h*t going south, where t is in hours, meanwhile from the dock the B2 is at a distance of (15km-15km/h*t), t=0, when it is 8pm.
Then we have a right triangle and the distance from boat B1 to boat B2, can be measured as the square root of (15-15*t)^2 +(20*t)^2. We are looking for a minimum, then we have to find the derivative with respect to t. This is 5*(25*t-9)/(sqrt(25*t^2-18*t+9)), this derivative is zero at t=9/25=0,36 h = 21.6 min, now to be sure it is a minimum we apply the second derivative criteria that states that if the second derivative at the given critical point is positive it means here we have a minimum, and by calculating the second derivative we find it is 720/(25 t^2 - 18 t + 9)^(3/2) that is positive at t=9/25, then we have our answer. And besides replacing the value of t we get the distance is 12 km.
Answer:
66.2 sec
Explanation:
C₁ = 1.0 F
C₂ = 1.0 F
ΔV = Potential difference across the capacitor = 6.0 V
C = parallel combination of capacitors
Parallel combination of capacitors is given as
C = C₁ + C₂
C = 1.0 + 1.0
C = 2.0 F
R = resistance = 33 Ω
Time constant is given as
T = RC
T = 33 x 2
T = 66 sec
V₀ = initial potential difference across the combination = 6.0 Volts
V = final potential difference = 2.2 volts
Using the equation


t = 66.2 sec
Complete question:
Two 10-cm-diameter charged rings face each other, 21.0 cm apart. Both rings are charged to +40.0 nC. What is the electric field strength at the midpoint between the two rings ?
Answer:
The electric field strength at the mid-point between the two rings is zero.
Explanation:
Given;
diameter of each ring, d = 10 cm = 0.1 m
distance between the rings, r = 21.0 cm = 0.21 m
charge of each ring, q = 40 nC = 40 x 10⁻⁹ C
let the midpoint between the two rings = x
The electric field strength at the midpoint between the two rings is given as;

Therefore, the electric field strength at the mid-point between the two rings is zero.
