just want to double-check that you understand a practical consequence of the expansion of the universe. Light reaches us from a

very distant galaxy. The time the light took to cross this distance and reach us is 10 billion years. The distance this light has crossed in this time is probably

Answer:

<em>The distance of the light is 9.4608 x 10^25 m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Time taken by the light = 10 billion years = 10 x 10^9 years

speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

speed of light in m/years is = (3 x 10^8)/(60 x 60 x 24 x 365) = 9.4608 x 10^15 m/year

distance = speed x time

therefore, the distance of this light = 10 x 10^9 x 9.461 x 10^15 = <em>9.4608 x 10^25 m</em>

When operated on a household 110.0 V line, typical hair dryers draw about 1650 W of power. The current can be modeled as a long,
Andre45 [30]

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage of household line, V = 110 V

Power of the hairdryer, P = 1650 W

During use, the current is about 1.95 cm from the user's hand.

(a) Power is given by :

P=V\times I\\\\I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{1650\ W}{110\ V}\\\\I=15\ A

(b) Again the power is given by :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

R is resistance of the dryer

R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\\R=\dfrac{(110)^2}{1650}\\\\R=7.34\ \Omega

(c) The magnetic field produced by the dryer at the user's hand is given by :

B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}\\\\B=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 15}{2\pi \times 1.95\times 10^{-2}}\\\\B=1.53\times 10^{-4}\ T

Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain what effect losing a gamma ray has on a nucleus.
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Hi, Since energy levels in the nucleus are much higher than those in the gas, the nucleus will cool down by emitting a more energetic electromagnetic wave called a gamma ray . Gamma ray emission causes no change in the number of particles in the nucleus meaning both the atomic number and mass number remain the same.

You are caulking a window. The caulk is rather thick and, to lay the bead correctly, the exit nozzle is small. A caulking gun us
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The answer is

A. Pressure is distributed uniformly throughout the fluid and the area of the plunger is much larger than the area of the opening.

Explanation:

 The question is incomplete, here is a complete question with full options

You are caulking a window. The caulk is rather thick and, to lay the bead correctly, the exit nozzle is small. A caulking gun uses a plunger which is operated by pulling back on a handle. You must squeeze the handle very hard to get the caulk to come out of the narrow opening because:_________.

A. pressure is distributed uniformly throughout the fluid and the area of the plunger is much larger than the area of the opening.

B. viscous drag between the walls of the tip and the caulk causes the caulk to swirl around chaotically.

C. Newton’s third law requires most of the energy in the caulk to be used to push back on the plunger rather than moving it through the tip.

D. the high density of the caulk impedes its flow through the small opening.

Since the caulk is thick and the exit nozzle is small, the pressure needed to deliver the caulk will be very high as pressure is uniformly distributed at the plunger side at every part of the caulk, hence very high pressure is needed to deliver the caulk which is why the handle needed the very hard squeeze
