Measuring the distance to many distant galaxy with a standard candle technique.

Hubble presented the observational evidence for one of science’s greatest discoveries—the expanding universe. Hubble showed that galaxies are receding away from us with a velocity that is proportional to their distance from us: more distant galaxies recede faster than nearby galaxies.

A redshift is an increase in the wavelength, and corresponding decrease in the frequency and photon energy, of electromagnetic radiation.

The standard candle technique is particularly valuable when studying very distant objects. Eventually, the effects of parallax stop working because things get too far away. However, since a standard candle depends on the inverse square law, it can reach much further as a result.

As long as we have instruments that can detect a standard candle and measure its brightness, it can be used to measure a distance.

therefore before measuring the recission velocity one must use standard candle technique to eliminate any parallax

A 0.540-kg bucket rests on a scale. Into this bucket you pour sand at the constant rate of 56.0 g/s. If the sand lands in the bu
romanna [79]

Answer:

a) 12.8212 N

b) 12.642 N

Explanation:

Mass of bucket = m = 0.54 kg

Rate of filling with sand  = 56.0 g/ sec = 0.056 kg/s

Speed of sand = 3.2 m/s

g= 9.8 m/sec2

<u>Condition (a);</u>

Mass of sand = Ms = 0.75 kg

So total mass becomes = bucket mass + sand mass = 0.54 +0.75=1.29 kg

== > total weight = 1.29 × 9.8 = 12.642 N

Now impact of sand = rate of filling × velocity = 0.056 × 3.2 =  0.1792 kg. m /sec2=0.1792 N

Scale reading is sum of impact of sand and weight force ;

i-e

scale reading = 12.642 N+0.1792 N = 12.8212 N

<u>Codition (b);</u>

bucket mass + sand mass = 0.54 +0.75=1.29 kg

==>weight = mg = 1.29 × 9.8 = 12.642 N (readily calculated above as well)

What is an experience from everyday life that appears to support the geocentric model
fomenos
<span>One everyday life experience that seems to support the geocentric model is the rising and setting of the Sun and Moon. The Moon rises and falls because it does revolve around the Earth and so it is easy to assume the same is true for the Sun.</span>
