Many astronomers have spent their entire career attempting to definitively answer the question "Are we alone?". To date, we have

found no other life forms. Discuss the type of efforts made to date to answer this question and the results of those efforts. Within our solar system, what are the best candidates for harboring life? Aside from the scientific evidence, what are your views regarding life beyond Earth and the basis for why you feel that way?

Answer:

Astrobiologists have put in tremendous efforts till now in the search for extra-terrestrial life. They are searching not only for tremendously developed life forms like humans, but also for microbes that are found to inhabit even the harshest of environments on Earth. Due to the tremendous development in technology, the odds of finding life beyond Earth are increasing day by day. Nasa's Kepler mission was launched to hunt for Earth like planets beyond our Solar System, and till now this mission has established the presence of 2,337 exoplanets, along with 1,284 new planets. This hugely increases the chances of finding another Earth like planet outside the limits of our Solar system. NASA's Astrobiology researchers are presently studying the most severe environments on Earth for improved understanding of the kind of conditions that would be able to support life in every part of the universe. Moreover, programs for instance SETI are keeping an eye on the galaxy for electromagnetic communications occurring or situated between stars from the societies on new worlds.

There is still a tremendous possibility to find life in our solar system. By the discovery of life forms in the extreme environments here on Earth, scientists have realized that the presence of solar energy is not an absolute necessity for the subsistence of life. Energy from chemical reactions can also trigger the organic elements to interact and start the formation of life. In the Solar system, Jupiter's moons Io and Europa and Saturn's moons Enceladus and Titan have been realized to the very strong candidates for the presence of microscopic life forms.

Explanation:

I hold a very optimistic view on the presence of life beyond Earth. It is highly probable that life on Earth is not an exceptional case but it should be a general one in the Universe. While we are always excited to imagine that we might encounter species as much developed or more highly developed than us, there is very good chance that the Universe is teeming with microscopic life forms. Also, to discover another intelligent life form would also be highly welcome.

A 2.0 kg particle moving along the z-axis experiences the
DochEvi [55]

At point x = 0, the particle accelerates. Since there will be change of velocity at that point. The the force of the particle will change from negative sign to positive sign according to the given figure, we can therefore conclude that the particle will have a turning point at point x = 0.

Given that a 2.0 kg particle moving along the z-axis experiences the  force shown in a given figure.

Force is the product of mass and acceleration. While acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both the force and acceleration are vector quantities. They have both magnitude and direction.

If the particle's velocity is  3.0 m/s at x = 0 m, that mean that the particle experience change of velocity at point x = 0. Since the the force of the particle will change from negative sign to positive sign according to the given figure, we can therefore conclude that the particle will have a turning point at point x = 0.

Which type of motion most accurately describes the behavior of a friction -less pendulum?
kaheart [24]

Answer:

B) Periodic Motion

Explanation:

When a pendulum is friction-less, i.e there are no damping forces acting on it, its motion will be periodic, i.e it will bob up and down going from potential energy to kinetic energy and back. Thus, the motion of the pendulum can be best described by the term "period motion", hence choice B.

If however, forces do act on the pendulum, and if they acts as to damp the pendulum, it will oscillate less and less as time goes by, and eventually come to a stop (in the real world this damping force is usually air resistance ). And if the force acts in such a way that it increases the oscillations, the pendulum will swing higher and higher, and the system will go haywire! :)

What is the radius of a circular space station that spins with a linear speed of 90.0 m/s I’m order for its walls to supply a ce
scoray [572]

Answer:

a = v^2 / R      centripetal acceleration

R = v^2 / a     a at the surface of earth is 9.8 m/s^2

R = (90 m/s)^2 / 9.8 m/s^2 = 827 m
