I do believe all of these but core elements can be determined by spectroscopy which includes the use of electromagnetic radiation. Both the surface and core temperature can be measured using light. Surface elements can be found because the absorption lines of different elements in the spectra of the star, but I haven't heard anything about using spectral analysis for core elements.

What do astronomers mean by light pollution?

Margarita [4]

Answer:

a. Light pollution refers to light used for human activities that brightens the sky and hinders astronomical observations.

Explanation:

Light pollution is due to the excessive and misdirected use of artificial light. Light bulbs are often design in an incorrect way, since a great part of its light is not completely directed to the ground and an important percentage is emitted to the sky in where will be scattered and reflected back to ground by the particles in the atmosphere. That brings as an effect a sky glow, therefore the visibility of astronomical objects will be extremely reduce.

Hence, professional astronomical research and amateur observations will be affected. Light pollution has a negative impact on bird migration at night and in the health of difference species, humans also.

Type the correct answer in the box. Express your answer to three significant figures.

The mass of calcium phosphate the reaction can produce is <u>6.076</u> grams.

Mass is a numerical measure of inertia, which is a basic feature of all matter. It is, in effect, a body of matter's resistance to a change in speed or position caused by the application of a force.

In the International System of Units (SI), the kilogram is the unit of mass.

Given;

Mass of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO₃)₂) = 96.1 g

Mass of calcium phosphate=?

The chemical equation is found as;

3Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2Na₃PO₄ → 6NaNO₃ + Ca₃(PO4)₂

3 moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ produces 1 mole of Ca₃(PO4)molar mass of calcium phosphate is 164 g/mol

Moles are found as the ratio of the mass of the compound and its molar mass. Moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ is n.

n = 96.1/164 = 0.5859 moles

Moles of Ca3(PO4)2 produced ;

N=0.0589 ×(1/3) = 0.0196 moles

The molar mass of calcium phosphate is 310 g/mol and the mass of calcium phosphate produced will be;

M=0.0196×310

M = 6.076 g

Hence,the mass of calcium phosphate the reaction can produce is <u>6.076</u> grams.

A proton with a velocity in the positive x-direction enters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field B in the positive y

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Negative z-direction

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand the direction of the magnetic force on the proton. This can be determined by using the right hand rule. So we have:

- index finger: direction of the proton, positive x-direction

- middle finger: direction of magnetic field, positive y-direction

- thumb: direction of the force, positive z-direction

In order to balance this magnetic force, the electric force must act in the opposite direction (negative z direction). Since for a proton (positive charge) the force and the electric field have same direction, it means that the electric field must also be in the negative z direction.
