3 0

The correct answer would be A "A light-year is the distance light travels in a year.

This is considered a unit of distance connected to the distance that light can travel in one year. It is proved that light travels at 300,000 km per second so, in 1 year, it might travel 10 trillion km.

Where in the motion is the magnitude of the force from the spring on the object zero? Where in the motion is the magnitude of th

kkurt [141]

Answer:

1. The magnitude of the force from the spring on the object is zero on Equilibrium.

2. The magnitude of the force from the spring on the object is a maximum on The top and bottom.

3. The magnitude of the net force on the object is zero on The Bottom.

4. The magnitude of the force on the object is a maximum on the Top.

Explanation:

1. Because the change in position delta X is zero.

2. Because of delta X.

3. Beacuse, the force of gravity and the force of the spring oppose each other to keep the block at rest, away from the equilibrium position.

4. Because, the force of the spring from compressiom and the force of gravity both act on the mass.

Suppose light from a 632.8 nm helium-neon laser shines through a diffraction grating ruled at 520 lines/mm. How many bright line

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

1 bright fringe every 33 cm.

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the position of the m-th order brigh line (constructive interference) produced by diffraction of light through a diffraction grating is:

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}$

where

m is the order of the maximum

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light

D is the distance of the screen

d is the separation between two adjacent slit

Here we have:

$\lambda=632.8 nm = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the wavelength of the light

D = 1 m is the distance of the screen (not given in the problem, so we assume it to be 1 meter)

$n=520 lines/mm$ is the number of lines per mm, so the spacing between two lines is

$d=\frac{1}{n}=\frac{1}{520}=1.92\cdot 10^{-3} mm = 1.92\cdot 10^{-6} m$

Therefore, substituting m = 1, we find:

$y=\frac{(632.8\cdot 10^{-9})(1)}{1.92\cdot 10^{-6}}=0.330 m$

So, on the distant screen, there is 1 bright fringe every 33 cm.

compare the theories that scientists proposed about the source of the sun's energy with the process of nuclear fusion in the sun

ANTONII [103]

The sun's source of energy is know as nuclear fusion (means to fuse) this process has a small nuclei atoms that join together to form a large nucleus. The result of this process is released energy. The fusion of hydrogen into helium in the sun makes a large amount of energy and this is known as the sun's energy source.
The theories that scientist proposed about the source of the sun's energy was that the sun burned fuel to generate its energy and that gravity was causing the sun to shrink slowly and have its energy released. Also both of these theories were disproved.

QUESTION: A study group of students is reviewing claims in an article that gamma rays are among the most dangerous type of elect

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Bias is an inclination towards one way of thinking due to inherent factors in our environment, such as how one was brought up.

Explanation:

In science, biases, conscious or unconscious, tend to make experiments’ results to incline in particular way rather than being impartial. Peer- review of scientific journals by the scientific community is meant to be a quality assurance measure to detect such biases. The students should check reviews of the scientific community on the article and see if any biases have been pointed out. Probably the institution that the scientist works for is in competition with another institution that deals with gamma rays.
