Answer: 100 suns
Explanation:
We can solve this with the following relation:
Where:
is the diameter of a dime
is the diameter of the Sun
is the distance between the Sun and the pinhole
is the amount of dimes that fit in a distance between the sunball and the pinhole
Finding :
This is roughly the diameter of the Sun
Now, the distance between the Earth and the Sun is one astronomical unit (1 AU), which is equal to:
So, we have to divide this distance between in order to find how many suns could it fit in this distance:
Answer:
θ = 36.2º
Explanation:
When light passes through a polarizer it becomes polarized and if it then passes through a second polarizer, it must comply with Malus's law
I = I₀ cos² tea
The non-polarized light between the first polarized of this leaves half the intensity, with vertical polarization
I₁ = I₀ / 2
I₁ = 845/2
I₁ = 422.5 W / m²
In this case, the incident light in the second polarizer has an intensity of I₁ = 422.5 W / m² and the light that passes through the polarizer has a value of
I = 275 W / m
²
Cos² θ = I / I₁
Cos θ = √ I / I₁
Cos θ = √ (275 / 422.5)
Cos θ = 0.80678
θ = cos⁻¹ 0.80678
θ = 36.2º
This is the angle between the two polarizers
A) According to the nebular theory, the Solar System formed from a huge gaseous nebula which at a certain point was perturbated. Atoms and molecules started colliding, forming planetesimals (a sort of big rocks). The planetesimals were attracted to each other by gravity, forming bigger warm almost spherical objects called protoplanets, which at the end cooled down forming planets.
Therefore the correct answer is "all of the above".
b) The planets closer to the Sun were (and still are) subject to higher temperatures, due to their close distance to the Sun. In these conditions, rocky materials undergo condensation, while iced gaseous materials undergo vaporization. In the outer parts of the Solar System temperatures are too low to allow these transformations.
The correct answer is again "all of the above".
Answer:
109.32 N/m
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of the hung object, m = 8 kg
Period of oscillation of object, T = 1.7 s
Force constant, k = ?
Recall that the period of oscillation of a Simple Harmonic Motion is given as
T = 2π √(m/k), where
T = period of oscillation
m = mass of object and
k = force constant if the spring
Since we are looking for the force constant, if we make "k" the subject of the formula, we have
k = 4π²m / T², now we go ahead to substitute our given values from the question
k = (4 * π² * 8) / 1.7²
k = 315.91 / 2.89
k = 109.32 N/m
Therefore, the force constant of the spring is 109.32 N/m
