How do scientists know our universe is older than 6500 years?

Physics
1 answer:
dmitriy555 [2]3 years ago
5 0
<span>This is because astronomers have discovered that the Crab Nebula is 6500 light years from earth. This means it takes 6500 earth years for light to get from the Crab Nebula to earth. Therefore, if we are able to observe the Crab Nebula and beyond it then it means that earth has been in existence for 6500 years and over.  </span>

Where is the near point of an normal eye when accidentally wear a contact lens with a power of +2.0 diopters?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The near point of an eye with power of +2 dopters, u' = - 50 cm

Given:

Power of a contact lens, P = +2.0 diopters

Solution:

To calculate the near point, we need to find the focal length of the lens which is given by:

Power, P = \frac{1}{f}

where

f = focal length

Thus

f = \frac{1}{P}

f = \frac{1}{2} = + 0.5 m

The near point of the eye is the point distant such that the image formed at this point can be seen clearly by the eye.

Now, by using lens maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{u'}

where

u = object distance = 25 cm = 0.25 m = near point of a normal eye

u' = image distance

Now,

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{0.5} - \frac{1}{0.25}

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

Solving the above eqn, we get:

u' = - 0.5 m = - 50 cm

If you drop a baseball and let it fall, gravity from Earth pulls down on the baseball with 1.4 N of force. What is the reaction
myrzilka [38]

The reaction force in this situation occur once it hits the ground, and normal force from Earth's surface will push up on the ball with 1.4 N.

<em>The correct answer is option (</em><em>C</em><em>) </em>

<h3>What is Newton's third law of motion?</h3>

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is equal and opposite reaction.

Mathematically, this law is given as;

Fa = Fb

where;

  • Fa is the force applied by object A
  • Fb is the reaction experienced by object B

The force applied by object is equal and opposite the reaction experienced by object B.

When an object placed on the floor, the weight of the object acts downward while the normal reaction of the object acts upwards.

Thus, if you drop a baseball and let it fall, gravity from Earth pulls down on the baseball with 1.4 N of force, the reaction force will occur once it hits the ground, as the normal force from Earth's surface will push up on the ball with 1.4 N.

The greater the mass of an object.
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Mass is the measure of an object's matter (what it's made up of). The greater an object's mass, the greater its gravitational force. The earth has a strong attracting force for objects with smaller mass (including the moon), and the sun has an attracting force on the earth and other planets in our solar system.

A sheet of glass measures one metre by half metre at 0°C. Calculate its area at 30°C, a for
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

0.50027m^{2}

Explanation:

ΔA=2\alpha A_{0} T

Where ΔA is the change in area

There is a 2 since the coefficient for area = 2 x that for the linear coefficient

A_{0} is the original area

\alpha is the coefficient of thermal expansion

And T is the change in temperature

ΔA=2(0.000009)(0.5)(30-0)=0.00027m^{2}

New area= ΔA+A_{0} = 0.5+0.00027=0.50027m^{2}
