Two magnets are held apart. Once released, the south pole of one magnet moves toward the north pole of another magnet until the magnets collide. How does the graph reflect the changes in energy that occur? (1 point)

Kinetic energy is at its peak when the magnets are first released, then it decreases steadily. Energy stored in the magnetic field becomes zero.

The kinetic energy of the system is derived from the thermal energy created by increased velocity. Energy stored in the magnetic field does not change.

Kinetic energy and velocity are at zero when the magnets are held apart, and both increase rapidly when they are released and move together. Energy stored in the magnetic field decreases.

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.

dang that balls went far
