Answer:

In the past, astronomers look into the sky and the universe as a whole with an idea that it is a place where stars are born, transition through their life stages and ultimately die and this is because they couldnt differentiate between stars, quasars and active galaxies because with advanced equipment, they all look similar but as they technological ages arrived, they were able see that they are not the same.

17 copper wires of length l and diameter d are connected in parallel to form a single composite conductor of resistance R. What

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$\frac{D}{d} = 4.12$

Explanation:

As we know that resistance of one copper wire is given as

$r = \rho \frac{L}{a}$

here we know that

$a = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^2$

now we have

$r = \rho \frac{L}{\pi (\frac{d^2}{4})}$

$r = \rho \frac{4L}{\pi d^2}$

now we know that such 17 resistors are connected in parallel so we have

$R = \frac{r}{17}$

$R = \rho \frac{4L}{17 \pi d^2}$

Now if a single copper wire has same resistance then its diameter is D and it is given as

$R = \rho \frac{4L}{\pi D^2}$

now from above two equations we have

$\rho \frac{4L}{\pi D^2} = \rho \frac{4L}{17 \pi d^2}$

$D^2 = 17 d^2$

now we have

$\frac{D}{d} = 4.12$

Which term describes the number of crests that pass a point in a given amount of time

joja [24]

The term is frequency.

The frequency is the number of vibrations per unit of time or the number of waves that passes a point per unit of time.

Every crest (and every trough) represents a pass of the wave so you can count the number of crests in an intervavl of time to find the frequency as the number of crests divided by the time elapsed.

An acorn falls 10 meters in 4 seconds. What is its average velocity?

quester [9]

Answer:

Average velocity, V = 2.5m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data

Displacement = 10m

Time = 4secs

Average velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, average velocity is given by the equation;

$Velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}$

$V = \frac{d}{t}$

Substituting into the above equation;

$V = \frac{10}{4}$

Average velocity, V = 2.5m/s
