Why do astronomers use the word on to describe angles on the sky rather than angles in the sky?

1 answer:

8 0

<span>The use of the word on instead of the word in when referring to the angular distance between celestial objects comes about because all of the objects appear to be on the celestial sphere and at an indeterminable distance. While we know that objects are at different distances in the sky, their distance from Earth is irrelevant in determining the angular distance between the two objects as viewed from Earth.</span>

Which graph shows the relationship between temperature, X, and kinetic energy, Y?

strojnjashka [21]

Answer: see the graph attached (straight line, passing through the origin and positive slope).

Justification:

1) Kinetic energy and temperature are in direct proportion. That means:

i) Being kinetic energy y and temperature x: y α x

ii) That implies: y = kx,where k is the constant of proportionality.

iii) The graph is a line that passes through the origin and has positive slope k (k = y / x).

2) The proportional relationship between kinetic energy (KE) and temperature (T) is shown by the Boltzman law, which states:

Average KE = [3 / 2] KT, where K is Boltzman's constant, whose graph is of the form shown in the figure attached.

Verify that the SI unit of impulse is the same as the SI unit of momentum.

lys-0071 [83]

Maybe this will help you out:

Momentum is calculate by the formula:

$P = mv$

Where:

P = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

The SI unit:

$mass = kg\\ velocity = \dfrac{m}{s}$

So the unit of momentum would be:

$kg.\dfrac{m}{s}$

Impulse is defined as the change in momentum or how much force changes momentum. It can be calculate with the formula:

I = FΔt

where:

I = impulse

F = Force

Δt = change in time

The SI unit:

F = Newtons (N) or $kg.\dfrac{m}{s^{2} }$

t = Seconds (s)

So the unit of impulse would be derived this way:

I = FΔt

I = $kg.\dfrac{m}{s^{2} }$ x $s$

$\dfrac{kg.m.s}{s^{2}} = \dfrac{kg.m.s}{s.s}$

You can then cancel out one s each from the numerator and denominator and you'll be left with:

$kg.\dfrac{m}{s}$

So then:

Momentum: Impulse

$kg.\dfrac{m}{s}$ $kg.\dfrac{m}{s}$

Sound travels through air at 343 m/s,

sasho [114]

The sound wave will have traveled 2565 m farther in water than in air.

Answer:

Explanation:

It is known that distance covered by any object is directly proportional to the velocity of the object and the time taken to cover that distance.

Distance = Velocity × Time.

So if time is kept constant, then the distance covered by a wave can vary depending on the velocity of the wave.

As we can see in the present case, the velocity of sound wave in air is 343 m/s. So in 2.25 s, the sound wave will be able to cover the distance as shown below.

Distance = 343 × 2.25 =771.75 m

And for the sound wave travelling in fresh water, the velocity is given as 1483 m/s. So in a time interval of 2.25 s, the distance can be determined as the product of velocity and time.

Distance = 1483×2.25=3337 m.

Since, the velocity of sound wave travelling in fresh water is greater than the sound wave travelling in air, the distance traveled by sound wave in fresh water will be greater.

Difference in distance covered in water and air = 3337-772 m = 2565 m

So the sound wave will have traveled 2565 m farther in water than in air.
