Robert has just bought a new model rocket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims that it will maintain a constant thrust of 12.3 N 12.3 N until the engine is used up. Robert launches the rocket on a windless day, so that it travels straight up, and uses his laser range‑finder to meaure that the height of the rocket when the engine cuts off is 10.2 m 10.2 m . He also measures the rocket's peak height, which is 14.7 m 14.7 m . If the rocket has a mass of 0.663 kg 0.663 kg , how much work is done by the drag force on the rocket during its ascent?

The work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J

Explanation:

Given :

Thrust force N

Displacement m

Mass of rocket Kg

From work energy theorem,

Where thrust work gravitational work

After cutoff kinetic energy is converted into potential energy,

Put value of KE

Work done by drag force is given by,

                  J

Therefore, the work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle  

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.

the answer is ampere

the ampere is used to measure electricity. an ampere is a unit of electric current equal. a unit of measure for the flow of current in a circuit. one ampere is the amount of current flow provided when one volt of electrical pressure is applied against one ohm of resistance.
