Answer:
Observations:
- Large scale structures look about the same in all directions.
- The temperatures of the cosmic microwave background varies slightly with direction.
- The cosmic microwave background temperature is approximately 2.73 Kelvin.
- The Helium abundance is at least 25% in every galaxy studied so far.
While Inference includes:
- Photons of the cosmic microwave background is radiation left over from the Big bang.
- The cosmic microwave background is radiation left over from the Big bang.
- Fusion during the universe's first five minutes produced 75% hydrogen and 25% helium.
- Large-scale structure grew around density variations present in the early universe.
Explanation:
Inference here refers to the process of drawing a conclusion based on what is already known while Observation involves the perception and recording of data via the use of scientific instruments and procedures.
The insights below highlights the explanations for some of the insights used in determining its Observation or Inference status.
The Cosmic Microwave Background, which contains the afterglow of light and radiation is left over from the Big bang.
The Cosmic Microwave Background is black body radiation at a temperature of 2.725 Kelvin.
In the year 1965, a pair of radio astronomers named Arno Penzias and Bob Wilson respectively were working at Bell labs, in New Jersey. Using an antenna that is sensitive to the radiation of microwaves, they discovered an unknown source of static noise. After they tried doing everything possible to reduce the noise, they realized that the microwaves had a black body spectrum, with a characteristic temperature of only T = 2.725 Kelvin ( and maximum wavelength of 1 millimeter). These ever present microwaves seen in every direction are called "Cosmic Microwave Background". This explains the reason behind statement five(5) being an Observation.
Finally, The Cosmos Background Explorer (COBE) which launched a satellite in the year 1989 found that there were slight fluctuations in the radiation spectrum. The temperature varies very slightly from one place to another by a few parts in 100,000 i.e (10^-5). The excerpts above clarify the reason for the answer to statement four(4) being listed as an Observation.
Answer:
ΔU = 5.21 × 10^(10) J
Explanation:
We are given;
Mass of object; m = 1040 kg
To solve this, we will use the formula for potential energy which is;
U = -GMm/r
But we are told we want to move the object from the Earth's surface to an altitude four times the Earth's radius.
Thus;
ΔU = -GMm((1/r_f) - (1/r_i))
Where;
M is mass of earth = 5.98 × 10^(24) kg
r_f is final radius
r_i is initial radius
G is gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^(-11) N.m²/kg²
Since, it's moving to altitude four times the Earth's radius, it means that;
r_i = R_e
r_f = R_e + 4R_e = 5R_e
Where R_e is radius of earth = 6371 × 10³ m
Thus;
ΔU = -6.67 × 10^(-11) × 5.98 × 10^(24)
× 1040((1/(5 × 6371 × 10³)) - (1/(6371 × 10³))
ΔU = 5.21 × 10^(10) J
Answer: The correct option is (d)
lava flows built up from the ocean floor by multiple, summit and flank eruptions
Explanation:
Piles of baseltic lava flows built up from the ocean floor by multiple summit and flank eruptions describes seamounts and islands of the deep ocean basins.
As nouns the difference between magnet and lodestone
is that magnet is a piece of material that attracts some metals by magnetism while lodestone is a naturally occurring magnet.
