What is the leading hypothesis for the origin of short gamma-ray bursts?

Physics
1 answer:
Arturiano [62]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Gamma rays are the most energetic form of rays. A gamma ray burst can emit a large amount of energy in a very short interval of time. In fact, a short gamma-ray burst occurs in less than 2 seconds.  A leading hypothesis states that when two neutron stars merge or when a neutron star merges with a black hole, short gamma-ray burst originates. Such merger are expected to produce kilonovoe.

Using Rayleigh's criterion, calculate the diameter of an earth-based telescope that gives this resolution with 700 nm light.
pogonyaev

Complete Question

Due to blurring caused by atmospheric distortion, the best resolution that can be obtained by a normal, earth-based, visible-light telescope is about 0.3 arcsecond (there are 60 arcminutes in a degree and 60 arcseconds in an arcminute).Using Rayleigh's criterion, calculate the diameter of an earth-based telescope that gives this resolution with 700 nm light

Answer:

The diameter is  D = 0.59 \  m    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The best resolution is  \theta  =  0.3 \  arcsecond

       The  wavelength is  \lambda  =  700 \  nm =  700 *10^{-9 } \  m

       

Generally the

         1 arcminute  = >  60 arcseconds

=>      x arcminute =>   0.3 arcsecond

So

       x =  \frac{0.3}{60 }

=>    x = 0.005 \  arcminutes

Now

         60 arcminutes  =>  1 degree

          0.005 arcminutes = >  z degrees  

=>       z =  \frac{0.005}{60 }

=>      z =  8.333 *10^{-5}  \ degree

Converting to radian  

           \theta  = z =  8.333 *10^{-5}  * 0.01745 = 1.454 *10^{-6} \  radian

Generally the resolution is mathematically represented as

            \theta  =  \frac{1.22 *  \lambda  }{ D}

=>    D =  \frac{1.22 * \lambda }{\theta }

=>     D =  \frac{1.22 * 700 *10^{-9} }{ 1.454 *10^{-6} }    

=>     D = 0.59 \  m

How much work must be done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 3.0×10−10 m from one another (at the corners
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Potential\ Energy=Work \ Done=2.301*10^{-18} J

Work  done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 3.0×10−10 m from one another (at the corners of an equilateral triangle) is 2.301*10^{-18} Joules

Explanation:

The potential energy is given by:

U=Q*V

where:

Q is the charge

V is the potential difference

Potential Difference=V=\frac{kq}{r}

So,

Potential\ Energy=\frac{Qkq}{r} \\Q=q\\Potential\ Energy=\frac{kq^2}{r}

Where:

k is Coulomb Constant=8.99*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

q is the charge on electron=-1.6*10^-19 C

r is the distance=3.0*10^{-10}m

For 3 Electrons Potential Energy or work Done is:

Potential\ Energy=3*\frac{kq^2}{r}

Potential\ Energy=3*\frac{(8.99*10^9)(-1.6*10^{-19})^2}{3*10^{-10}}\\Potential\ Energy=2.301*10^{-18} J

Work  done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 3.0×10−10 m from one another (at the corners of an equilateral triangle) is 2.301*10^{-18} Joules

Which of the following compounds is not likely to have ionic bonds? Question 5 options: LiF NaCl CH4 MgF2
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

CH4

Explanation:

CH4 is joined together by a covalent bond, aka a bond between two non-metals. Non-metals are found on the right side of the periodic table and include Carbon (C) and Hydrogen. Although Hydrogen is technically on the left side of the table, it has the characteristics of a non-metal. Futhermore, Ionic bonds generally are between an element on the right joined with an element on the left. This is because ionic bonds want charges that will cancel out to create a neutral molecule.

example: LiF

Li→ Li+

F→F-

(Li+)+(F-)=charges cancel out.
