What do astronomers mean by light pollution?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

a. Light pollution refers to light used for human activities that brightens the sky and hinders astronomical observations.

Explanation:

Light pollution is due to the excessive and misdirected use of artificial light. Light bulbs are often design in an incorrect way, since a great part of its light is not completely directed to the ground and an important percentage is emitted to the sky in where will be scattered and reflected back to ground by the particles in the atmosphere. That brings as an effect a sky glow, therefore the visibility of astronomical objects will be extremely reduce.  

Hence, professional astronomical research and amateur observations will be affected. Light pollution has a negative impact on bird migration at night and in the health of difference species, humans also.

Two point charges 3q and −8q (with q &gt; 0) are at x = 0 and x = L, respectively, and free to move. A third charge is placed so
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The unknown charge can not remain in between the charge given because force on the middle charge will act in the same direction due to both the remaining charges.

So the unknown charge is somewhere on negative side of x axis . Its charge will be negative . Let it be - Q and let it be at distance - x on x axis.

force on it due to rest of the charges will be equal and opposite so

k3q Q / x² =k 8q Q / (L+x)²

8x² = 3 (L+x)²

2√2 x = √3 (L+x)

2√2 x - √3 x = √3 L

x(2√2 - √3 ) = √3 L

x = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

Let us consider the balancing force on 3q

force on it due to -Q and -8q will be equal

kQ . 3q / x² = k3q  8q / L²

Q = 8q  (x² / L²)

so charge required = - 8q  (x² / L²)

and its distance from x on negative x side = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

12)A black body is heated from 27°C to 127° C. The ratio of their energies of radiations emitted will be
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

81:256.

Explanation:

Let T denote the absolute temperature of this object.

Calculate the value of T before and after heating:

T(\text{before}) = 27 + 273 = 300\; \rm K.

T(\text{after}) = 127 + 273 = 400\; \rm K.

By the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, the energy that this object emits (over all frequencies) would be proportional to T^4.

Ratio between the absolute temperature of this object before and after heating:

\displaystyle \frac{T(\text{before})}{T(\text{after})} = \frac{3}{4}.

Therefore, by the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, the ratio between the energy that this object emits before and after heating would be:

\displaystyle \left(\frac{T(\text{before})}{T(\text{after})}\right)^{4} = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{4} = \frac{81}{256}.

What is the weight of a 5.00 kg object on Earth? Assume g=9.81 m/s^2.
Softa [21]

<em>weight = (mass) x (gravity)</em>

Weight = (5.00 kg) x (9.81 m/s²)

weight = (5.00 x 9.81) (kg-m/s²)

<em>Weight = 49.05 Newton</em>
