The sky is blue because: Select one: a. the index of refraction for air is slightly larger for blue than for red b. atomic hydrogen is blue c. air molecules tend to polarize light along a horizontal axis d. oxygen and nitrogen molecules are small compared to the wavelengths of visible light e. oxygen molecules have a lower energy ground state than nitrogen molecules

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.

A15,000 kg rocket traveling at +230 m/s turns on its engines. over a 6.0 s period it burns 1,000 kg of fuel. an observer on the ground measures the velocity of the expelled gases to be −1,200 m/s.

Is a volume of space that is empty of matter.
