Answer:

Blue light

Explanation:

Gases and particles in Earth's atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves.

A boy pushes his baby sister in a stroller that has a mass of 45,000 g. What is the acceleration on the stroller if the force is

dlinn [17]

$\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}$

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Force.

Force = Mass * Acceleration.

here, Mass = 45 kg and Force = 65 N

hence, Acceleration = 65/45

===> Acc. = 1.44 m/s^2

hence the acceleration is 1.44 m/s^2

Carbon-14 is used to determine the time an organism was living. The amount of carbon-14 an organism has is constant with the atm

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The age of the organism is approximately 11460 years.

Explanation:

The amount of carbon-14 decays exponentially in time and is defined by the following equation:

$\frac{n(t)}{n_{o}} = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }$ (1)

Where:

$n_{o}$ - Initial amount of carbon-14.

$n(t)$ - Current amount of carbon-14.

$t$ - Time, measured in years.

$\tau$ - Time constant, measured in years.

Then, we clear the time within the formula:

$t = -\tau \cdot \ln \frac{n(t)}{n_{o}}$ (2)

In addition, time constant can be calculated by means of half-life of carbon-14 ( $t_{1/2}$ ), measured in years:

$\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}$

If we know that $\frac{n(t)}{n_{o}} = 0.25$ and $t_{1/2} = 5730\,yr$ , then the age of the organism is:

$\tau = \frac{5730\,yr}{\ln 2}$

$\tau \approx 8266.643\,yr$

$t = -(8266.643\,yr)\cdot \ln 0.25$

$t \approx 11460.001\,yr$

The age of the organism is approximately 11460 years.

What is the hang time when the person moves 6 m horizontally during a 1.25 m high jump?

AlekseyPX

Answer:

1 sec

Explanation:

Horizontal distance (x) = 6m

Vertical distance (y) = 1.25m

Hang time is the duration the object is in the air before it reaches maximum height.

The time of free fall is given by

t = √2y/g

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = √(2*1.25)/9.8

t = √2.5/9.8

t = 0.5secs

Hang time = 2*0.5

= 1 sec

an airplane releases a ball as it flies parallel to the ground at a height of 235m. if the ball lands on the ground exactly at 2

Oksanka [162]

<span>When the question says the ball lands a distance of 235 meters from the release point, we can assume this means the horizontal distance is 235 meters. Let's calculate the time for the ball to fall 235 meters to the ground. y = (1/2)gt^2 t^2 = 2y / g t = sqrt{ 2y / g } t = sqrt{ (2) (235 m) / (9.81 m/s^2) } t = 6.9217 s We can use the time t to find the horizontal speed. v = d / t v = 235 m / 6.9217 s v = 33.95 m/s Since the horizontal speed is the speed of the plane, the speed of the plane is 33.95 m/s</span>
