Answer:

Which of the following types of light cannot be studied with telescopes on the ground?

The Answer is <u>X-rays</u>

Explanation:

Earth’s atmosphere blocks most of the radiation from space preventing some electromagnetic spectrum from reaching the Earth because they are absorbed or reflected by the Earth's atmosphere. Visible light and radio waves get through to telescopes on the ground, while X-rays are absorbed by most molecules in the Earth’s atmosphere making it visible only from above the atmosphere.

<em><u>Some Terms Explained:</u></em>

Telescope:  is an optical instrument that makes distant objects appear magnified. The purposes of a telescope are to gather light using either a lens or a mirror and resolve detail. There are two basic types of telescopes, refractors and reflectors.

Visible light: covers the range of wavelengths from 400–700 nanometers.

X-rays: range in wavelength from 0.001–10 nanometers. They are shorter in wavelength than Ultraviolet rays and longer than gamma rays. They will pass through most substances, and this makes them useful to see inside things.

Radio waves: the longest waves, longer than 1 meter they have the lowest energy. It is used for long distance communication.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

x ’= 1,735 m,  measured from the far left

Explanation:

For the system to be in equilibrium, the law of rotational equilibrium must be fulfilled.

Let's fix a reference system located at the point of rotation and that the anticlockwise rotations have been positive

             

They tell us that we have a mass (m1) on the left side and another mass (M2) on the right side,

the mass that is at the left end x = 1.2 m measured from the pivot point, the mass of the right side is at a distance x and the weight of the body that is located at the geometric center of the bar

           x_{cm} = 1.2 -1

          x_ {cm} = 0.2 m

          Σ τ = 0

          w₁ 1.2 + mg 0.2 - W₂ x = 0

          x = \frac{m_1 g\ 1.2 \ + m g \ 0.2}{M_2 g}

          x = \frac{m_1 \ 1.2 \ + m \ 0.2 }{M_2}

let's calculate

          x = \frac{2.9 \ 1.2 \ + 4 \ 0.2 }{8.00}2.9 1.2 + 4 0.2 / 8

           

          x = 0.535 m

measured from the pivot point

measured from the far left is

           x’= 1,2 + x

           x'=  1.2 + 0.535

           x ’= 1,735 m

Is energy matter? Is gravity matter? Why or why not
Alja [10]

No, because the energy is the capacity for performing work. Gravity is the force that draws everything to the earth's center.

A piston–cylinder assembly contains 5.0 kg of air, initially at 2.0 bar, 30 oF. The air undergoes a process to a state where the
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The work and heat transfer for this process is = 270.588 kJ

Explanation:

Take properties of air from an ideal gas table.  R = 0.287 kJ/kg-k

The Pressure-Volume relation is <em>PV</em> = <em>C</em>

<em>T = C </em> for isothermal process

Calculating for the work done in isothermal process

<em>W</em> = <em>P</em>₁<em>V</em>₁ ln[\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }]

   = <em>mRT</em>₁ln[\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }]      [∵<em>pV</em> = <em>mRT</em>]

   = (5) (0.287) (272.039) ln[\frac{2.0}{1.0}]

   = 270.588 kJ

Since the process is isothermal, Internal energy change is zero

Δ<em>U</em> = mc_{v}(T_{2}  - T_{1} ) = 0

From 1st law of thermodynamics

Q = Δ<em>U  </em>+ <em>W</em>

   = 0 + 270.588

   = 270.588 kJ
