Sir William Herschel counted the number of stars in different directions, and getting similar numbers in each direction along th

e disk, concluded the Sun was near the center of a disk like collection of stars. Herschel came to the wrong conclusion about the Sun's location because(A) He was predisposed to believe the Sun is the center of the Milky Way, and ignored the data which disagreed with that conclusion. (B) He did not know that interstellar dust made it hard from him to see a large part of the Milky Way's disk. (C) He only counted globular cluster, and not regular stars. (D) The Sun's position in the Milky Way at that particular time was very unusual and skewed in his results.

Answer: the correct answer is (B) He did not know that interstellar dust made it hard from him to see a large part of the Milky Way's disk.

Explanation:

We live in a dusty Galaxy. Because interstellar dust absorbs the light from stars, Herschel could see only those stars within about 6000 light-years of the Sun.

Why would knowing the characteristics of circuits be important in designing electrical circuits?

The characteristic of a circuit actually indicate how the circuit functions. When one designs a circuit they have a specific function in mind and must know how to combine components in order to fulfill this functions.

A pendulum is transported from sea-level, where the acceleration due to gravity g is 9.80 m/s2, to the bottom of Death Valley. A
tatyana61 [14]

Answer: the value of g in Death Valley is 10.417 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

acceleration due to gravity at the point is g = 9.8 m/s²

Lets say the acceleration due to gravity at the bottom of Death valley is g'

as the period of the pendulum is decreased by 3.00%

T' = 0.97 T  

T is the period of the pendulum at sea level  and T' is the period of the pendulum at bottom of Death valley

therefore from the relation

T = 2π√(l/g)

g'/g = T²/T'²

g' = (T²/ (0.97T)²)g

g' = 1.063g

g' = 10.417 m/s²

therefore the value of g in Death Valley is 10.417 m/s²

Charina says that when waves interact with an object, they will interfere with the object, and when waves interact with other wa
Fofino [41]
I would not agree with her since reflection and refraction happens only when waves hit an object. When, waves meet it is either it experiences constructive or destructive interference. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
