We see the Sun before it comes above the horizon. Explain.​

Physics
1 answer:
siniylev [52]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Atmospheric refraction causes the Sun to be seen while it is still below the horizon. Light from the lower edge of the Sun's disk is refracted more than light from the upper edge. This reduces the apparent height of the Sun when it appears just above the horizon.

A very loud train whistle has an acoustic power output of 100 W. If the sound energy spreads out spherically, what is the intens
valentina_108 [34]

Answer

given,

Power output of loud train = 100 W

Distance of intensity level from train= 100 m

I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m²                      

Intensity of sound = ?        

we know,                            

I = \dfrac{P}{Area}          

I = \dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}          

I = \dfrac{100}{4\pi 100^2}          

I =7.957\times 10^{-4}\ W/m^2

Intensity level                              

  = 10 log(\dfrac{I}{I_0})

  = 10 log(\dfrac{7.975\times 10^{-4}}{10^{-12}})

  = 10 \times 8.900

  = 89 dB

An electromagnet is created using a battery, an insulated copper wire and an iron nail. The wire is wrapped around the nail 30 t
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

If one assume that each turn is like a strand of electromagnet, which can then be added up. Therefore, increase in the number of turns will yield to increase in the magnetic strength. Also if the current increases, then there will be increase in the magnetic field strength.

From Ohm's law

V = IR

I = V/R

That is a direct increase in voltage will lead to increase in current.

Increase the voltage of the battery and increases the number of turns of the coil. Will suit the situation

A projectile is launched at an angle above the
gtnhenbr [62]
The first rule of vectors is that the horizontal and vertical components are separate. Disregarding air resistance, the only thing we have to worry about is gravity.

The appropriate suvat to use for the vertical component is v = u +at
I will take a to be -9.81, you may have to change it to be 10 if your qualification likes g to be 10.

v = 30 + (-9.81x2)
v = 30 - 19.62
=10.38m/s

Therefore we know that after 2.0 s the vertical component will be 10.38ms^-1, ie 10m/s as the answers given are all to 2sf.

The horizontal component is completely separate to the vertical component and since there is no air resistance, it will remain constant throughout the projectiles trajectory. Therefore it will remain at 40ms^-1.

Combining this together we get:
(1) vx=40m/s and vy=10m/s

A skateboarder has an acceleration of −1.9 m/s2. If her initial speed is 6 m/s, how long does it take her to stop?
SSSSS [86.1K]
You said that she's losing 1.9 m/s of her speed every second.

So it'll take

             (6 m/s) / (1.9 m/s²)  =  3.158 seconds  (rounded)

to lose all of her initial speed, and stop.
