A. In the beginning there was a singularity with indefinite mass and density. It's a theory cause there are facts such as galaxies moving away from each other that can prove it.

b) Anywhere at any point of the Universe there is some radiation called background radiation. It led to conclude that the universe was hotter and much denser many many years ago.

c) Model of the universe can be defined by the value of the cosmological constant, so now it is considered to be flat. It probably means that it will expand forever.

Answer:

a. Big Bang Theory explains the beginning of the universe. The entire matter of the universe is believed to be concentrated in a single point. This point had infinite density. At time, t = 0, at the big bang, universe started expanding and cooling down. This theory is most widely accepted theory describing the beginning of the universe. It is not considered as hypothesis because of the evidences received by the scientists- detection of cosmic microwave background, red shift of the light received from the galaxies indicating that universe is expanding.

b. Cosmic Microwave background radiation is a faint radiation having average temperature of 3 K detected every where around from the sky. This is a residual radiation from 400,000 years after the beginning of the universe. The universe was very hot and dense at the beginning and thus, opaque. Hence, detection of the CMB has provided the evidence of Big bang theory.

c. Scientists have proposed three models of the universe:

1. closed universe- The universe has finite volume and curves around itself. The space-time has positive curvature.

2. open universe - The universe has infinite volume and has a negative curvature.

3. flat universe - The universe has zero curvature. It has infinite volume. The actual density of the universe is equal to the critical density of the universe. The expansion rate slows down over time. This is the most widely accepted model.

A rope passes over a fixed sheave with both ends hanging straight down. The coefficient of friction between the rope and sheave
Oliga [24]

Answer:3.51

Explanation:

Given

Coefficient of Friction \mu =0.4

Consider a small element at an angle \theta having an angle of d\theta

Normal Force=T\times \frac{d\theta }{2}+(T+dT)\cdot \frac{d\theta }{2}

N=T\cdot d\theta

Friction f=\mu \times Normal\ Reaction

f=\mu \cdot N

and T+dT-T=f=\mu Td\theta

dT=\mu Td\theta

\frac{dT}{T}=\mu d\theta

\int_{T_2}^{T_1}\frac{dT}{T}=\int_{0}^{\pi }\mu d\theta

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=e^{\mu \pi}

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=e^{0.4\times \pi }

\frac{T_2}{T_1}==e^{1.256}

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=3.51

Hi! I have a word bank I need help with please!<br> I have the questions as an attachment

Scott needs to determine the density of a metallic rod. First, he should determine the mass of his sample on the laboratory balance. Second, he should measure the volume of his sample by water displacement. Finally, he can calculate the density by dividing mass/volume. 
Hope this helped ;)

If a liquid has a volume of 620 cm cubed and a mass of 480 gm, what is its density?​
docker41 [41]

<u>Answer:</u> 0.774 g/cm^3

<u>Explanation:</u>

Density is measured in g/cm^3

480g / 620cm^3 = 0.774 g/cm^3

Does this help? Sorry if not.

Radio waves are readily diffracted around buildings, whereas light waves are negligibly diffracted around buildings. This is bec
Tom [10]

Answer:

Radio waves have longer wavelength

Explanation:

Radio wave is an electromagnetic frequency that has the ability to travel through long distance. They have frequencies shuttling been the range of 10^4 hz and a frequency of 10^12 hz

Light wave is also called visible light. This is because it is visible to the naked eye, despite it being in the electromagnetic spectrum. It's frequency is usually between 4*10^-7 hz and a frequency of 7*10^-7 hz.

As can be seen from both, the radio waves length are quite far stronger than that of the light waves.
