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

Physics
1 answer:
Valentin [98]4 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.

Identify the independent, dependent, and constant variables for different experiments.
diamong [38]

ANSWER:

IV, Type of dish detergent. DV, height of foam. CV, type of container, amount of water in container, temperature of water, time the container is agitated.

Explanation:

Independent variable(IV)- what you change during the experiment.

dependent variable(DV)- what you're measuring during an experiment. The dependent variable is DEPENDENT because it's results DEPEND on the independent variable at play.

Constant variables(CV)- things that do not change in order to isolate the tested variables as much as possible.

A spotlight on a boat is y = 2.2 m above the water, and the light strikes the water at a point that is x = 8.5 m horizontally di
slava [35]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The distance d, which locates the point where the light strikes the bottom is   29.345 m from the spotlight.

Explanation:

To solve the question we note that Snell's law states that

The product of the incident index and the sine of the angle of incident is equal to the product of the refractive index and the sine of the angle of refraction

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂

y = 2.2 m and strikes at x = 8.5 m, therefore tanθ₁ = 2.2/8.5 = 0.259 and

θ₁ =  14.511 °

n₁ = 1.0003 = refractive index of air

n₂ = 1.33 = refractive index of water

Therefore sinθ₂ =  \frac{n_1sin\theta_1}{n_2}  = \frac{1.003*0.251}{1.33} = 0.1885 and θ₂ = 10.86 °

Since the water depth is 4.0 m we have tanθ₂ = \frac{4}{x_2} or x₂ = \frac{4}{tan\theta_2 } =\frac{4}{tan(10.86)} = 20.845 m

d = x₂ + 8.5 = 20.845 m + 8.5 m = 29.345 m.

PLEASE ANSWER
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Farm = 98.1 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must draw the respective free body diagram, with the forces acting on the monkey. An analysis of the sums on the y-axis must be performed, in this axis the weight is acting down and the forces of both arms pulling up.

Weight is defined as the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

W = m*g

where:

m = mass = 20 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

W = 196.2 [N] (units of Newtons)

As this force points down, the force of both arms must go up, therefore each arm exerts a force of:

Farm = 196.2 / 2

Farm = 98.1 [N]
