A radar astronomer who is new at the job claims she beamed radio waves to Jupiter and received an echo exactly 48 min later. Sho

uld you believe her? Why or why not?

BigorU [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Should not believe her because the time taken is too short.

Explanation:

Time taken for echo to reach Earth = 48 min

Time taken by radio wave to reach Jupiter = 24 min

Distance between Earth and Jupiter when closest = 588 million kilometers = 588×10⁹ m

Distance between Earth and Jupiter when farthest = 968 million kilometers = 968×10⁹ m

Speed of radio wave = Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Distance = Velocity × Time

⇒Distance = 3×10⁸×24×60

⇒Distance = 432×10⁹ m

Which does not fall under the range of distance of Jupiter. So, I should not believe her.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

d_{b} = 2 d_{a}

Explanation:

The electrical resistance for a cylindrical wire is described by the expression

         R = ρ L / A

The area of ​​a circle is

     A = π r²

     r = d / 2

     A = π d²/4

We substitute

      R = ρ L  4 /π d²

Let's apply this expression to our case, they indicate that the resistance of wire A is 4 times the resistance of wire B

    R_{a} = 4 R_{b}

We substitute

    ρ  4/π d_{a}² = 4 (ρ  4/π d_{b}²)

    1 / d_{a}² = 4 / d_{b}²

     d_{a} = d_{b} / 2

Consider a semi-spherical bowl machined out of wood (A drawing of a semi-spherical bowl can be found in UNIT- 4 Introduction, so
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The total surface are of the bowl is given by: 0.0532*pi m² (approximately 0.166533 m²)

Explanation:

The total surface area of the semi-spherical bowl can be decomposed in three different sections: 1) an outer semi-sphere of radius 12 cm, 2) an inner semi-sphere of radius 10 cm, and 3) the edge, which is a 2-dimensional ring with internal radius of 10 cm and external radius of 12 cm. We will compute the areas independently and then sum them all.

a) Outer semi-sphere:

A1 = 2*pi*r² = 2*pi*(12 cm)² = 288*pi cm² = 904.78 cm²

b) Inner semi-sphere:

A2 = 2*pi*(10 cm)² = 200*pi cm² = 628.32 cm²

c) Edge (Ring):

A3 = pi*(r1² - r2²) = pi*((12 cm)²-(10 cm)²) = pi*(144-100) cm² = 44*pi cm² = 138.23 cm²

Therefore, the total surface area of the bowl is given by:

A = A1 + A2 + A3 = 288*pi cm² + 200*pi cm² + 44*pi cm² = 532*pi cm² (approximately 1665.33 cm²)

Changing units to m², as required in the problem, we get:

A = 532*pi cm² * (1 m² / 10, 000 cm²) = 0.0532*pi m² (approximately 0.166533 m²)

What does it mean if a paint sample "matches" a known sample from a vehicle? Does this indicate the same source? Why or why not?
Mandarinka [93]
It wouldn't indicate the same source if the paint was from a different place. If the paint was the same brand and color it would be but if not then no
