Suppose it was discovered that Hubble's constant, H0, was smaller than previously thought. How would this affect our estimate of

the age of the universe?

1 answer:
DanielleElmas [232]4 years ago

Answer:

<em>The age of the universe would be larger.</em>

Explanation:

The Hubble relation states that an astronomical object's velocity is proportional to the distance between the observer and the object.

<em>v = dH₀</em>

where

  • d is the distance between the observer and the object.
  • H₀ is the Hubble constant

If the Hubble constant decreases, the velocity will decrease.

Time is determined by taking the quotient between the distance and the velocity.

<em>T = d/v </em>

Therefore, since the velocity decreased, the time increases. Thus, if H₀ was found to be smaller than thought, t<em>he age of the universe would be larger.</em>

Find the tension in the two ropes that are holding the 2.9 kg object in place. Rope 1 makes an angle of 51.3° with respect to th
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the tension in horizontal rope be T₁ and in the other rope be T₂ which is making angle of 51.3⁰

The vertical component of tension T₂ will balance the weight .

= T₂ cos 51.3 = 2.9 x 9.8

T₂ = 2.9 x 9.8  / cos 51.3

= 28.42 / .625

= 45.47 N

The horizontal component of T₂ will balance T₁

T₂ sin 51.3 = T₁

45.47 sin 51.3 = T₁

T₁ = 35.48 N .

A ball of mass 0.3 kg is released from rest at a height of 8 m. How fast is it going when it hits the ground? (Gravity being equ
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass doesn't matter here because when something is falling, gravity plays fairly; an elephant falls at the same rate of acceleration as does a feather. What DOES matter is everything pertinent to the y-dimension of free-fall:

a = -9.8 m/s/s

v₀ = 0 (since the ball was held before it was dropped)

v = ??

Δx = -8 m (negative because the ball drops this far below the point from which it was released).

Putting all this together in one equation:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx and filling in this equation:

v² = (0)² + 2(-9.8)(-8) and

v² = 156.8 so

v = 12.5 which rounds to 13 if you're using 2 sig figs, and rounds to 10 if you're only using 1 (which you should be, according to the way the numbers have been given in this problem)

A dentist used a light have wavelength 450nm what is the energy of the light
LenKa [72]

Answer:

≈ 4.41 x 10^-19

Explanation:

The formula for the energy of light is...

E = hc / λ

where 'h' is Planck's constant: 6.626 x 10^-34 Js

           'c' is the speed of light: 2.998 x 10^8 ms

       &  'λ' is the wavelength (in this case): 450 nm

1 nanometer (nm) = 1 x 10^-9m

E = (6.626 x 10^-34 Js)(2.998 x 10^8 ms) / (450nm)(1 m / 10^-9 nm)

E ≈ 4.41 x 10^-19 J

I think that's the answer and I hope it helps!

2. Below are four velocity vs. time graphs. Which graph represents the motion of an object that
Airida [17]

Answer:

Answer (b)

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in time, therefore constant acceleration will be changing velocity in direct proportion to time and will have a linear plot on a velocity/time chart. This eliminates answer (d) which has an increasing acceleration in time

answer (a) has a negative slope so the acceleration would be considered negative

answer (c) has zero slope so acceleration is zero and velocity is constant.

answer (b) has the required positive slope and acceleration
