Which is one piece of information that astronomers use to calculate the age of the universe?

1 answer:

Valentin [98]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

the age of the oldest stars
patterns of background radiation
how fast distant galaxies are moving away from us

Explanation:

According to the NASA, astronomers can estimate how old the universe is by comparing the age of the oldest stars and the rate of expansion of the universe. The rate of expansion of the universe is based on the Big Bang theory and it states that our universe is continuously expanding since it first developed. Astronomers measure Cosmic Microwave Background radiation resulting from the Big Bang.

Answer:

1200N/m

Explanation:

given parameters:

force on the motorcycle spring is 240N

Extension 2cm or 0.02m

unknown _

spring constant:

:?

solution:

to a spring a force applied is given as :

f=ke

f is applied as force

k is spring constant

e is the Extension

Calculate the acceleration using the formula acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

10 km/hr/s

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by

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

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

For the car in this problem:

u = 0

$v=60 km/h$

t = 6 s

Substituting in the equation,

$a=\frac{60 km/h-0}{6s}=10 km/h/s$

A beam of light strikes a sheet of glass at an angle of 56.6° with the normal in air. You observe that red light makes an angle

Yuri [45]

Answer:

(a). Index of refraction are $n_{red}$ = 1.344 & $n_{violet}$ = 1.406

(b). The velocity of red light in the glass $v_{red} =$ 2.23 × $10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}$

The velocity of violet light in the glass $v_{violet} =$ 2.13 × $10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

We know that

Law of reflection is

$n_1 \sin\theta_{1} = n_2 \sin\theta_{2}$

Here

$\theta_1$ = angle of incidence

$\theta_2$ = angle of refraction

(a). For red light

1 × $\sin 56.6$ = $n_{red}$ × $\sin 38.4$

$n_{red}$ = 1.344

For violet light

1 × $\sin 56.6$ = $n_{violet}$ × $\sin 36.4$

$n_{violet}$ = 1.406

(b). Index of refraction is given by

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

$n_{red}$ = 1.344

$v_{red} = \frac{c}{n_{red} }$

$v_{red} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.344}$

$v_{red} =$ 2.23 × $10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}$

This is the velocity of red light in the glass.

The velocity of violet light in the glass is given by

$v_{violet} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.406}$

$v_{violet} =$ 2.13 × $10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}$

This is the velocity of violet light in the glass.
