A friend of yours who has not taken an astronomy class looks at your textbook and really likes the picture of the Pleiades, a cl

uster of stars surrounded by a bluish reflection nebula. She wants to know what causes that beautiful blue glow. To explain it to her, you want to compare the process that causes the blue glow to something that is in your friend's everyday experience. Which of the following terrestrial phenomena is the result of the same type of process that makes a reflection nebula in space?
A. the blueish glow of the flame on a gas stove
B. the blue light you see reflected from a blue sweater
C. the blue colour of the Earth's sky
D. the blue-white colour of the hottest stars
E. the blue feeling you get when you don't do well on an astronomy exam

Answer:

<em>C. the blue colour of the Earth's sky</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The Pleiades is a cluster of sister stars that are among the closest star cluster to earth.

The reflection nebula of the Pleiades is due to the scattering of the blue light from the hot blue luminous stars that dominate the star cluster. Th blue light is scattered from dust molecules, thought to be predominantly carbon compound like diamond dusts, and other compounds like iron.

The blue colour of the Earth's sky is the closest terrestrial phenomenon to the reflection nebula. On a clear cloudless day, molecules in the air scatter the blue component of light more than the other component colours of white light, giving the sky its characteristic blue coluor.

The common characteristics of the luminous nebula and the Earth's blue sky is that they both have their light scattered by the presence of small particles.

A basketball is shot from 2 meters up at an angle of 60° above the x axis at an initial velocity of 9 m/s. What is the maximum h
Nikitich [7]

Hope this helps a little

initial distance up = 2

initial velocity component up = 9 sin 60 = 7.79

v = 9 sin 60 - 9.8 t

when v = 0, we are there

9.8 t = 7.79

t = .795 seconds to top

h = 2 + 7.79(.795) - 4.9(.795^2)

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. What is the canoe’s kinetic energy? A. 40 J B. 80 J C. 18 J
rusak2 [61]

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. 40 J is the canoe’s kinetic energy.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given canoe has the mass and is being given to move at a speed. Therefore the kinetic energy of the canoe can be calculated using the following method,

Given that mass of the canoe = 20 kg and its speed =1 m/s

As we know that the Kinetic energy has the formula,

\text {Kinetic energy}=\frac{1}{2} \boldsymbol{m} \boldsymbol{v}^{2}

Therefore, substituting the value into the equation, we get,  

K . E .=\frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 2^{2} = 40 J

A student is trying to determine the acceleration of a feather as she drops it to the ground. if the student is looking to achie
Anna [14]

The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.

All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.

If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.

Answer:

TDR means Timeout Detection and Recovery.

Explanation:

TDR is a feature of the Windows operating system which detects response problems from a graphics card, and recovers to a functional desktop by resetting the card. If the operating system does not receive a response from a graphics card within a certain amount of time (default is 2 seconds), the operating system resets the graphics card.

Once the merry-go-round travels at this new angular speed, with what force does the person need to hold on?.
natita [175]

For a merry go round with a radius of R=1.8 m and moment of inertia I=184 kg-m^2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of w=1.48 rad/s   is mathematically given as

F= 618.9 N

<h3>What is the centripetal force?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the angular speed  is mathematically given as

w = v/R

Therefore

w= 4.7/1.8

w= 2.611 rad/s

Where total momentum

Tm= 642.96 + 272.32

Tm= 915.28

and total inertia

Ti= 184 + 246.24

Ti= 430.24

In conclusion, centripetal force

F= mrw^2

F = m*R*w2^2

F = 76*1.8*2.127^2

F= 618.9 N
