Visible matter belonging to the Milky Way Galaxy can be traced out to about 50,000 light years from the center.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

The visible matter that belongs to the Milky way Galaxy are traced out to be about 50 kpc distance from the center.

Kpc stands for kiloparsec. It is the unit of measurement of distance.

A parsec is[tex]$\text{ used to measure large distances}$[/tex] of the astronomical objects that lies [tex]$\text{outside the solar system}$[/tex], mainly where galaxies are involved.

1 kiloparsec is 1000 parsec and is equal to 3260 light years.

So the visible matter is about 163,078 light years away.

Hence the answer is FALSE.

A ball is dropped out of a window and hits the ground at 14.5 m/s. How long did it take to fall to the ground?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the one-dimensional equation:

[tex]v_f=v_0+at[/tex] which says that the final velocity of a falling object is equal to its initial velocity times the acceleration of gravity times the time it takes to fall. We have the final velocity, -14.5 (negative because its direction is down and down is negative), initial velocity is 0 (because it was held still by someone before it was dropped), and acceleration is -9.8 (negative again, because direction is down while acceleration increases). Filling in:

-14.5 = 0 - 9.8t and

-14.5 = -9.8t so

t = 1.5 seconds

In the early 1900s, it was proposed that the law of conservation of mass should be simultaneously considered with the law of conservation of energy to explain particular phenomena. Thus, a theory of conservation of mass-energy was proposed. Which of the following reasons could provide evidence to support the proposed theory?
A. After charged particles travel a complete loop around a circuit, the electric potential energy of the charged particles does not change, but the number of available charged particles that can move through the circuit is reduced. This is because charged particles are used in order for circuit elements to operate correctly.
B. After a photon of light is absorbed by certain metals, electrons are found to be ejected from the metals. This is because the energy contained in the massless photon is used to eject an electron with mass out of the metal.
C. After particles of a hot gas collide with other particles in the gas, the initial combined mass of all particles of the gas immediately before the collisions occur is not equal to the final combined mass of all particles immediately after the collisions. This is because some of the particles in the gas are destroyed in the collisions.
D. After the decay of certain unstable nuclei, the initial mechanical energy of an unstable nucleus is not equal to the final mechanical energy of the resultant particles immediately after the decay process. This is because some of the available mechanical energy is converted into a particle that was originally not accounted for.

Answers

Answer:

B. After a photon of light is absorbed by certain metals, electrons are found to be ejected from the metals. This is because the energy contained in the massless photon is used to eject an electron with mass out of the metal.

Explanation:

Before, in the early days, it was proposed to form a combined theory by joining the theory of conservation of mass and the theory of conservation of energy and form a combined theory of conservation of mass-energy. It was done to explain a particular theory of [tex]$\text{photoelectric effect}$[/tex].

The [tex]$\text{photoelectric effect}$[/tex] is the emission of the electrons form the surface of a metal when light energy strikes on it. Here, in this phenomenon, both mass and energy is conserved.

When the light strikes a metal surface, electrons gets ejected from the surface. The energy of the photon is used to eject the electron form the metal surface.

Maglev, a vehicle that glides above a magnetic field without touching a track, make a 624-mile trip in 4 hours. What is the speed of the vehicle?

Answers

Answer:

The speed of the vehicle is 156 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Let suppose that the Maglev, that is, a vehicle who works on the principle of superconductive magnetic levitation, moves at constant speed. Hence, the speed of the vehicle ([tex]v[/tex]), in miles per hour, is defined by this kinematic model:

[tex]v = \frac{s}{t}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]s[/tex] - Travelled distance, in miles.

[tex]t[/tex] - Time, in hours.

If we know that [tex]s = 624\,mi[/tex] and [tex]t = 4\,h[/tex], then the speed of the vehicle is:

[tex]v = \frac{624\,mi}{4\,h}[/tex]

[tex]v = 156\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex]

The speed of the vehicle is 156 miles per hour.

A cart weighing 40 pounds is placed on a ramp incline 15 degrees to the horizon. The cart is held in place by a rope inclined 60 degrees to the horizontal. find the force that the rope must exert on the cart to keep it from rolling down the ramp.

Answers

Answer: [tex]14.64\ N[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

Inclination of ramp is [tex]\theta=15^{\circ}[/tex]

Rope is inclined [tex]\phi=60^{\circ}[/tex] to the horizontal

Weight of cart [tex]W=40\ lb[/tex]

from the diagram, rope is at angle of [tex]45^{\circ}[/tex] w.r.t ramp

Sine component of weight pulls down the cart Cosine component of force applied through rope held it at the position

[tex]\Rightarrow 40\sin 15^{\circ}=F\cos 45^{\circ}\\\\\Rightarrow F=40\cdot \dfrac{\sin 15^{\circ}}{\cos 45^{\circ}}\\\\\Rightarrow F=40\times 0.366\\\Rightarrow F=14.64\ N[/tex]

A drunken sailor stumbles 550 meters north, 500 meters northeast, then 450 meters northwest. What is the total displacement and the angle of the displacement

Answers

Answer:

Resultant displacement = 1222.3 m

Angle is 88.3 degree from +X axis.

Explanation:

A = 550 m north

B = 500 m north east

C = 450 m north west

Write in the vector form

A = 550 j

B = 500 (cos 45 i + sin 45 j ) = 353.6 i + 353.6 j

C = 450 ( - cos 45 i + sin 45 j ) = - 318.2 i + 318.2 j

Net displacement is given by

R = (353.6 - 318.2) i + (550 + 353.6 + 318.2) j

R = 35.4 i + 1221.8 j

The magnitude is

[tex]R = \sqrt{35.4^{2}+1221.8^{2}}R = 1222.3 m[/tex]

The direction is given by

[tex]tan\theta =\frac{1221.8}{35.4}\\\\\theta = 88.3^{o}[/tex]

(10) The use of Doppler radar for speed detection and enforcement on the roads is very common and has been in use for a long time. Suppose a 10 GHz radar (also called radar gun or speed gun) measures the speed of a car at 120 km/h moving towards the radar gun. a. What is the change in the frequency of the reflected wave due to the speed of the car b. Calculate the sensitivity of the device in [Hz/km].

Answers

Answer:

The sensitivity of the device = 1.234 Hz per km

Explanation:

Given  

Frequency (f) = 10 gHz

Speed of the car = 120 Km/h

As per the doppler’s effect

V = (change in frequency /frequency) *(c/2)

Substituting the given values, we get –  

Change in frequency = {(2*10^9*120)/(3*10^8)} * (1000/3600)

Change in frequency =  37.03 Hz

b) speed of light = wavelength * frequency

3*10^8 = wavelength * 10*10^9

Wavelength = 0.03 m

Sensitivity = change in frequency /wavelength = 37.03/0.03 = 1234 Hz/m

1.234 Hz per km

Two gerbils run in place with a linear speed of 0.55 m/s on an exercise wheel that is shaped like a hoop. Find the rotational kinetic energy of the wheel if the exercise wheel has a radius of 9.5 cm and a mass of 5.0 g. Each gerbil has a mass of 0.02 kg if you think that is important.

Answers

Answer:

 K = 7.56 10⁻⁴ J

Explanation:

The rotational kinetic energy is

        K = ½ I w²

They ask us for the kinetic energy of the wheel, which can be approximated as a thin ring, its moment of inertia is

       

         I = M r²

the linear speed of the gerbils is equal to the linear speed of the wheel. The linear and rotational variables are related

          v = w r

          w = v / r

   we substitute

         K = ½ (M r²) v² / r²

         K = ½ M v²

let's calculate

         K = ½ 5 10⁻³ 0.55²

         K = 7.56 10⁻⁴ J

What is PNP transistor?

This bipolar PNP junction transistor is made up of three layers of semiconductor material, two of which are P-type & one of which is N-type. It consists of three terminals.

The transistor's emitter allows it to supply the majority of charge carriers. In relation to the ground, the emitter always is forward biased.

As a result, the base receives the vast majority of charge carriers. A transistor's emitter is strong and of modest size.

The collector collects the vast majority of the charge carrier delivered by the emitter. Reverse bias is always present at the collector-base junction.

The charge collector region is moderately mixed and capable of collecting the charge.

What was Alice’s average acceleration between 2:00 and 4:00?
Show your complete calculation and state your answer with the correct units.

Answers

Answer:

-10miles/hr²

Explanation:

a = ∆v/∆t

Where:

a = acceleration (miles/hr²)

∆V = change in velocity (miles/hr)

t = time (hour)

The change in time is from 2:00 - 4:00 ∆t = 2 hours.

The distance covered is as follows: 20miles/hour - 40 miles/hr

∆v = -20miles/hr

Using a = ∆v/∆t

a = -20/2

a = -10miles/hr²

W = F*displacement.

Force is a measure in Newtons, which is also weight. We have the mass of the piano, but we need to find the weight:

w = mg so

w = 166(9.8) so

w = 1600N, rounded to the correct number of sig dig. We use that now in the power equation:

The index of refraction of n-propyl alcohol is 1.39. Find the angle of refraction of light in that medium if light comes from air with an angle of incidence of 55 degrees.

Answers

Answer:

36.11 degrees

Explanation:

index of refraction n = sin i/sinr

i is the angle of incidence

r is the angle of refraction

Substitute into the expression

1.39 = sin55/sin(r)

1.39 = 0.8191/sin(r)

sin(r) = 0.8191/1.39

sin(r) = 0.5893

r = arcsin(0.5893)

r = 36.11

hence the angle of refraction of light is 36.11 degrees

Answer and I will give you brainiliest

Answers

Answer:

m of solid = 600g = 0.6kg

T=40°C

It was placed in a calorimeter that contains 25g(0.025kg) of water at 10°C

Now. We would have considered the calorimeter in this solving because it will be at the same temp as the water which it is holding. Example... If you put a hot water inside a Cup... The cup itself will become hot and have the same temp as the water you put in it ...

But in this question... We'll Ignore the Calorimeter and the heat gained by it since no parameter was given for it and also We don't know the material which the calorimeter is made of.

So

Since the Solid is at a higher temp(40°)... It will lose heat to water; which is at a lower temp.

From the question... THE EQUILIBRIUM TEMPERATURE REACHED IS 25°C

Then

Temp Change for solid(heat loss) = 40-25=15°C

Temp Change for water(heat gain)= 25-10 =15°C

Heat lost by solid = Heat gained by water

MC∆T = MC∆T

People who do very detailed work close up, such as jewellers, often can see objects clearly at much closer distance than the normal 25 cm. a. What is the power in D of the eyes of a woman who can see an object clearly at a distance of only 8.5 cm

Answers

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

People who do very detailed work close up, such as jewelers, often can see objects clearly at much closer distance than the normal 25 cm.

a) What is the power in D of the eyes of a woman who can see an object clearly at a distance of only 8.50 cm? (Assume the lens-to-retina distance is 2.00 cm.)

b) What is the size in mm of an image of a 8.00 mm object, such as lettering inside a ring, held at this distance? (Include the sign of the value in your answer.)  __ mm

Answer:

1) the power in D of the eyes of a woman is 61.7647 D

2) the size in mm of an image of a 8.00 mm object is -1.882 mm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a) power in D of the eyes of woman who can see an object clearly at a distance of only 8.5 cm and the lens-to-retina distance is 2.00 cm,

so

u = 8.5 cm = ( 8.5 / 100 )m = 0.085 m

v = 2.00 cm = ( 2 / 100 )m =  0.02 m

Now, we know that power of lens p = 1 / u + 1 / v

so we substitute

p = ( 1 / 0.085 ) + ( 1 / 0.02 )

p = 11.7647 + 50

p = 61.7647 D

Therefore,  the power in D of the eyes of a woman is 61.7647 D

b) What is the size in mm of an image of a 8.00 mm object, such as lettering inside a ring, held at this distance? (Include the sign of the value in your answer.)

we know that;

m = -v / u

we substitute

m = -0.02 / 0.085

m = -0.2353

since H₀ = 8.0 mm

H[tex]_i[/tex] = m × H₀

H[tex]_i[/tex] = -0.2353 × 8.0

H[tex]_i[/tex] = -1.882 mm

the size in mm of an image of a 8.00 mm object is -1.882 mm
