A force of 0.12 newton for 3 second and body mass 0.4 kg of rest If the velocity gain by the body.

Answer»

f = ma, u = 0

\(f = m\frac{(v-u)}{t}\)

f x t = m (v)

\(\frac{f \times t}{m} = v\)

\(\frac{f \times t}{m} = \frac{0.12 \times 3}{0.4}\) = 9

v = 9 m/s.

Why sky is blue?

Answer»
As white light passes through our atmosphere, tiny air molecules cause it to 'scatter'. The scattering caused by these tiny air molecules (known as Rayleigh scattering) increases as the wavelength of light decreases. ... Therefore, blue light is scattered more than red light and the sky appears blue during the day.
because sky have a light blue than colour  blend the sea

The sunlight that reaches the earth’s atmosphere is scattered in all directions by the gases and dust particles present in the atmosphere.

  • The blue colour is scattered more and hence the sky appears blue.
  • The reason for more scattering of blue colour is that the wavelength of the blue light is shorter than the other light.
  • So blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth’s atmosphere.
  • This is the reason sky appears blue.

A fair coin 1 marked on one face and 6 on the other face and a fair die are both tossed. find the probability that the sum of numbers that turn up is (i) 3 (ii) 12.

Answer»

Coin has faces marked with 1, 6.

A fair die has faces marked as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

∴ total number of equally likely cases = 2 × 6 = 12

(i) Favourable case is (1, 2) i.e., 1 only. ∴ red. probability = 1/12

(ii) Favourable case is (6, 6) i.e. 1 only. ∴ req d. probability = 1/12

Find the values in the interval (1, 2) of the mean value theorem satisfied by the function f(x) = x – x2 for 1 ≤ x ≤ 2.

Answer»

f(1) = 0 and f(2) = -2. Clearly f(x) is defined and differentiable in 1 < x < 2. Therefore, by the Mean Value Theorem, there exists a c ∈(1, 2) such that 

f'(c) = \(\frac {f(2)−f(1)}{2 -1}\) = 1 – 2c 

That is, 1 – 2c = -2 

⇒ c = 3/2
