(a) The gas of interstellar medium can be detected from the radiations of photons of wavelength 21 cm.

(b) The gas of interstellar medium can be detected from the absorption lines present in the light from distant stars, which must be caused by a medium of density and temperature other than that of the stars emitting the lights.

<h3>What is interstellar medium?</h3>

Interstellar medium is the matter and radiation that exist in the space between the star systems in a galaxy.

An electric generator converts kinetic energy into --------<br> energy.

pickupchik [31]

The correct answer to the question is : Electric energy

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, we have an electric generator.

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the function of generator.

The generator is attached to the turbine. When the turbine rotates, the generator also starts rotating with it. Thanks to electromagnetic induction, the electricity is produced in the coil attached to the generator when it rotates.

Hence, from above, it is obvious that kinetic energy is converted into electric energy.

Stella [2.4K]

She can climb 0.92 m without losing weight.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy consisting of the product of mass, gravity and height.

1 cal = 4184 J

140 cal = 585760 J

Energy = 585760 J, m = 65.0 kg = 65000 g, Efficiency = 20 %

GPE = mgh

where m represents the mass

g represents the gravity,

h represents the height.

585760 = 65000 $\times$ 9.8 $\times$ h

h = 0.92 m.

Explain why a moving object cannot come to a stop instantaneously (in zero seconds). Hint: Think about the acceleration that wou

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

To stop instantly, you would need infinite deceleration. This in turn, requires infinite force, as demonstrable with this equation:F=ma<span>So when you hit a wall, you do not instantly stop (e.g. the trunk of the car will still move because the car is getting crushed). In a case of a change in momentum, </span><span><span>m<span>v⃗ </span></span><span>m<span>v→</span></span></span>, we can use the following equation to calculate force:F=p/h<span>However, because the force is nowhere close to infinity, time will never tend to zero either, which means that you cannot come to an instantaneous stop.</span>

k0ka [10]

Answer:

$1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C$

Explanation:

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity of free space = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

A = Area = $6\times 10^{-9}\ m^2$

d = Thickness = $1.6\times 10^{-8}\ m$

k = Dielectric constant = 5.4

V = Voltage = 86.2 mV

Charge is given by

$Q=CV\\\Rightarrow Q=k\epsilon\dfrac{A}{d}V\\\Rightarrow Q=5.4\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times \dfrac{6\times 10^{-9}}{1.6\times 10^{-8}}\times 86.2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow Q=1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C$

The charge on the outer surface is $1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C$
