How do we determine the conditions that existed in the very early universe? A We can only guess at the conditions, since we have
lakkis [162]

Answer:

D By looking all the way to the cosmological horizon, we can see the actual conditions that prevailed all the way back to the first instant of the Big Bang.

Explanation:

Astrophysicists are able to determine the conditions that existed in the early universe, by using instruments such as telescopes to observe and study cosmic horizons. More ideas about the early universe can be found from the thermal light present in cosmic backgrounds.

Scientists study these details that provide an insight into the conditions that existed so many years ago. They have been able to determine that the Big Bang involved so many collisions from these observations.

Help with question 16 and 17
storchak [24]
<h3>16.</h3>

Your answer is correct.

___

<h3>17.</h3>

The fractional change in resistance is equal to the given temperature coefficient multiplied by the change in temperature.

  R = R₀×(1 + α×ΔT)

  R = (10.0 Ω)×(1 + 0.004×(65 -20)) = 11.8 Ω

a force 2.4E2 N exists between a positive charge of 8E-5 C and a positive charge of 3E-5 C. What distance separates the charges?
Verdich [7]

The distance between the two charges is 0.3 m

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's law:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, we are given the following:

q_1 = 8\cdot 10^{-5} C

q_2 = 3\cdot 10^{-5} C

F=2.4\cdot 10^2 N

Therefore, we can rearrange the equation to solve for r, the distance between the two charges:

r=\sqrt{\frac{kq_1 q_2}{F}}=\sqrt{\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(8\cdot 10^{-5})(3\cdot 10^{-5})}{2.4\cdot 10^2}}=0.3 m

Suppose the rocket in the Example was initially on a circular orbit around Earth with a period of 1.6 days. Hint (a) What is its
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

a

The orbital speed is v= 2.6*10^{3} m/s

b

The escape velocity of the rocket is  v_e= 3.72 *10^3 m/s

Explanation:

Generally angular velocity is mathematically represented as

            w = \frac{2 \pi}{T}

Where T is the period which is given as 1.6 days = 1.6 *24 *60*60 = 138240 sec

       Substituting the value

         w = \frac{2 \pi}{138240}

             = 4.54*10^ {-5} rad /sec

At the point when the rocket is on a circular orbit  

   The gravitational force =  centripetal force and this can be mathematically represented as

              \frac{GMm}{r^2} = mr w^2

Where  G is the universal gravitational constant with a value  G = 6.67*10^{-11}

            M is the mass of the earth with a constant value of M = 5.98*10^{24}kg

            r is the distance between earth and circular orbit where the rocke is found

               Making r the subject

                     r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{GM}{w^2} }

                        = \sqrt[3]{\frac{6.67*10^{-11} * 5.98*10^{24}}{(4.45*10^{-5})^2} }

                        = 5.78 *10^7 m

The orbital speed is represented mathematically as

                   v=wr

Substituting value

                  v= (5.78*10^7)(4.54*10^{-5})

                     v= 2.6*10^{3} m/s    

The escape velocity is mathematically represented as

                            v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r} }

Substituting values

                             = \sqrt{\frac{2(6.67*10^{-11})(5.98*10^{24})}{5.78*10^7} }

                             v_e= 3.72 *10^3 m/s
