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.

3) What is the weight of an object with a mass of 5.2 kilograms?​
inna [77]

Answer:

50.96 N

Explanation:

weight = mass x gravity

We know that gravity = 9.8 m/s^2 and mass = 5.2 kg.

w = m x g

w = 5.2 kg x 9.8 m/s^2

w = 50.96 N

The weight of the object is 50.96 N (newtons). Hope this helps, thank you !!

A pulley with a radius of 3.0 cm and a rotational inertia of 4.5 x 10^-3 kg∙m2 is suspended from the ceiling. A rope passes over
solmaris [256]

Answer:

maximum kinetic energy is for Pulley

e) The pulley

Explanation:

Let 4 kg block is moving downwards with speed "v" so we can say that 2 kg block will move upwards with same speed "v"

Now we know that pulling is in pure rotational motion

so we will have

\omega = \frac{v}{R}

\omega = \frac{v}{0.03}

now kinetic energy of each is given as

For 4 kg block

K_1 = \frac{1}{2}(4)(v^2) = 2v^2

for 2 kg block

K_2 = \frac{1}{2}(2)(v^2) = v^2

For pulley

K_3 = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

K_3 = \frac{1}{2}(4.5\times 10^{-3})\frac{(v^2)}{0.03^2}

K_3 = 2.5 v^2

So maximum kinetic energy is for Pulley

Which situation results in the most attraction between two magnets?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Opposites attract, the north pole of one of the magnet is attracted to the south pole of the other magnet. Two north or south poles will repel away from each other.

if you relate the Doppler effect on sound to the color of light waves, a police car would be the color (A.yellow B.red C.green D
klio [65]

The Doppler effect says that the observed wavelength is shortened

when the source is approaching the observer, and lengthened when

the source is receding from the observer.

All we can say about the police car and its siren is that the sound/color

has a shorter wavelength as it approaches us, and a longer wavelength

as it recedes.

Any of these pairs of answers would say that:

  A -- A

  C -- A

  D -- A

or

  D -- D

For each of these pairs, the second wavelength is longer than the first one.

(We don't know which pair is the actual one, because we don't know the actual color of the police car.)
