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.
First
let us imagine the projectile launched at initial velocity V and at angle
θ relative to the horizontal. (ignore wind resistance)
Vertical component y:
The
initial vertical velocity is given as Vsinθ
The moment the projectile reaches the maximum
height of h, the vertical velocity
will be 0, therefore the time t taken to attain this maximum height is:
h = Vsinθ - gt
0 = Vsinθ - gt
t = (Vsinθ)/g
where
g is acceleration due to gravity
Horizontal component x:
The initial horizontal velocity is given as Vcosθ. However unlike
the vertical component, this horizontal velocity remains constant because this is unaffected by gravity. The time to travel the
horizontal distance D is twice the value of t times the horizontal velocity.
D = Vcosθ*[(2Vsinθ)/g]
D = (2V²sinθ cosθ)/g
D = (V²sin2θ)/g
In order for D (horizontal distance) to be
maximum, dD/dθ = 0
That is,
2V^2 cos2θ / g = 0
And since 2V^2/g must not be equal to zero, therefore cos(2θ) = 0
This is true when 2θ = π/2 or θ = π/4
Therefore it is now<span> shown that the maximum horizontal travelled is attained when
the launch angle is π/4 radians, or 45°.</span>
Answer:
(a) Vf = 128 ft/s
(b) K.E = 122.8 Btu
Explanation:
(a)
In order to find the velocity of the object just before striking the surface of earth or the final velocity, we use 3rd equation of motion:
2gh = Vf² - Vi²
where,
g = 32.2 ft/s²
h = height = 253 ft
Vf = Final Velocity = ?
Vi = Initial Velocity = 10 ft/s
Therefore,
(2)(32.2 ft/s²)(253 ft) = Vf² - (10 ft/s)²
16293.2 ft²/s² + 100 ft²/s² = Vf²
Vf = √(16393.2 ft²/s²)
<u>Vf = 128 ft/s</u>
<u></u>
(b)
The kinetic energy of the object before it hits the surface of earth is given by:
K.E = (0.5)(m)(Vf)²
where,
m = mass of object = 375 lb
K.E = Kinetic energy of object before it strikes the surface of earth = ?
Therefore,
K.E = (0.5)(375 lb)(128 ft/s)²
K.E = 3073725 lb.ft²/s²
Now, converting this to Btu:
K.E = (3073725 lb.ft²/s²)(1 Btu/25037 lb.ft²/s²)
<u>K.E = 122.8 Btu</u>
Answer and Explanation:
The main source of earth magnetic field is the metals and iron present in earth crust these metals are mainly found in liquid state in earth crust and we know that whenever there is spinning of these liquid metals then there will magnetic field generate, So the main source of earth magnetic field is the metals present in earth crust.
