Answer: I hope this helps I read this in a book once

Explanation:

Shower meteors come from the dust released by comets as they travel through our solar system. The dust spreads out along the comet's orbit and forms an elliptical trail of debris that passes around the sun and crosses the orbits of the planets.

Now consider the statements in Part A that are inferred from models. A solar model is used to calculate interior conditions base

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

d. We can calculate it by applying Newton's version of Kepler's third law

Explanation:

The measurements of a Star like the Sun have several problems, the first one is distance, but the most important is the temperature since as we get closer all the instruments will melt. This is why all measurements must be indirect because of the effects that these variables create on nearby bodies.

Kepler's laws are deduced from Newton's law of universal gravitation, in these laws the mass of the Sun affects the orbit of the planets since it creates a force of attraction, if measured the orbit and the time it takes to travel it we can know the centripetal acceleration and with it knows the force, from where we clear the mass of the son.

Let's review the statements of the exercise

.a) False. We don't have good enough models for this calculation

.b) False. The size of the sun is very difficult to measure because it is a mass of gas, in addition the density changes strongly with depth

.c) False. The amount of light that comes out of the sun is not all the light produced and is due to quantum effects where the mass of the sun is not taken into account

.d) True. This method has been used to calculate the mass of the sun and the other planets since the variable distance and time are easily measured from Earth

A jet plane is launched from a catapult on an aircraft carrier. In 2.0 s it reaches a speed of 42 m/s at the end of the catapult

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

time taken $t=2\ s$

Speed acquired in 2 sec $v=42\ m/s$

Here initial velocity is zero $u=0$

acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in a given time

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\frac{42-0}{2}=21\ m/s^2$

Distance travel in this time

$s=ut+0.5at^2$

where

s=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

$s=0+\0.5\times 21\times (2)^2$

$s=42\ m$

so Jet Plane travels a distance of 42 m in 2 s

A man works on a striaght road from his home to market 2.5km away dwith a speed of 5km/h.Finding the market closed, he instantly

umka21 [38]

Answer:

5.625km/h

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance between home and market, d=2.5 km

Speed, v1=5km/h

Speed, v2=7.5 km/h

We have to find the average speed of the man over the interval of time 0 to 40min.

Time, $t=\frac{distance}{speed}$

Using the formula

$t_1=\frac{2.5}{5}=0.5 h=0.5\times 60=30 min$

1 hour =60 min

$t_2=\frac{2.5}{7.5}=\frac{1}{3}hour=\frac{60}{3}=20min$

Distance traveled by man in 10 min with speed 7.5 km/h= $\frac{2.5}{20}\times 10=2.5/2km$

Therefore,

Total distance covered=2.5+2.5/2=3.75 km

Time=40 min=40/60=2/3 hour

Average speed= $\frac{total\;distance}{total\;time}$

Average speed= $\frac{3.75}{2/3}=5.625km/h$

Use the drop-down menus to identify the type of energy each phrase describes.

Tresset [83]

The shortest wavelength of visible light = violet light

Energy that can be felt as heat but not seen = infrared

Short, invisible rays that can cause eye damage = ultraviolet

Visible light with the longest wavelength = red light

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field, occurring in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

They are the only type of waves able to travel without a medium, and they are transverse in nature.

All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at the speed of light, which value is:

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different classes, depending on their wavelength/frequency, and they have different properties. From shortest to longest wavelength (and from highest to lowest frequency), they are:

Gamma rays

X rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Moreover, the visible light of the spectrum is further divided into different colors, according to how our eye perceive them; from shortest to longest wavelength:

violet

blue

green

yellow

orange

red

Therefore, we have:

The shortest wavelength of visible light is violet light, which has wavelength between 380 and 450 nm
The longest wavelength of visible light is red light, which has wavelenght between 620 and 750 nm
Infrared radiation is a type of radiation that is felt as heat by our body, however it cannot be seen because it falls outside the spectrum of visible light
Ultraviolet radiation is also invisible to human eye; it has shorter wavelength than visible light and therefore it has more frequency (and more energy), therefore it can cause damage, especially to the eye
