The singularity at the center of a black hole is predicted to be a region of zero volume and infinite density that contains all

of the black hole's mass. It is a point at which all currently known physical laws break down. Yet in a black hole, this "terrible point" is hidden from view behind an event horizon that prevents any knowledge about the singularity reaching the outside universe. Astronomers continue to spend considerable effort trying to understand the nature of these singularities, objects for which observational input, it would seem, will be forever lacking? Are these astronomers practicing science? Argue both yes and no. Which do you find convincing?

Reika [66]3 years ago

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Science is a quest to find answers and patterns in the universe which can then be relied on for predicting future occurrence. Finding these singular points or at least to some extent, the cause and formation of this point will help with our further and deeper understanding of the universe, and we can then be able to predict when, where or when this singularities occurs.

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Spending a lot of time on these singularities that are hidden from view behind an event horizon that prevents any knowledge about the singularity reaching the outside universe is an absolute waste of time. This reflects no practice of science, since science is all about finding answers. If these answers we seek to find no matter how much we probe, cannot be gotten from further studies of these occurrences then it will be best to leave what can't be found. The fact that all known laws of physics breaks down at these point is a pointer that any physical means that will be employed to probe these singularities will yield no result within our known physical laws.

I will go with yes, with hope that advance in science will someday break these barriers or reconcile our known laws of physics with whatever physical law prevails within these singularities.

Answer:

θ  = 6.3 *10³ revolutions

Explanation:

Angular acceleration of the drill

We apply the equations of circular motion uniformly accelerated

ωf= ω₀ + α*t  Formula (1)

Where:  

α : Angular acceleration (rad/s²)  

ω₀ : Initial angular speed ( rad/s)  

ωf : Final angular speed ( rad

t :  time interval (s)

Data

ω₀ = 0

ωf = 350000 rpm = 350000 rev/min

1 rev = 2π rad

1 min= 60 s

ωf = 350000 rev/min =350000*(2π rad/60 s)

ωf = 36651.9 rad/s

t = 2.2 s

We replace data in the formula (2) :

ωf= ω₀ + α*t

36651.9 = 0 + α* (2.2)

α = 36651.9 / (2.2)

α = 17000 rad/s²

Revolutions made by the drill

We apply the equations of circular motion uniformly accelerated

ωf²= ω₀ ²+ 2α*θ Formula (2)

Where:  

θ : Angle that the body has rotated in a given time interval (rad)

We replace data in the formula (2):  

(ωf)²= ω₀²+ 2α*θ

(36651.9)²= (0)²+ 2( 17000 )*θ

θ = (36651.9)²/ (34000 )

θ  = 39510.64 rad = 39510.64 rad* (1 rev/2πrad)

θ  = 6288.31 revolutions

θ  = 6.3 *10³ revolutions

The half-life of the reaction gets shorter as the initial concentration is increased. True or False
Art [367]

True

The half-life isn’t applicable to a first order reaction because it does not rely on the concentration of reactant present. However the 2nd order reaction is dependent on the concentration of the reactant present.

The relationship between the half life and the reactant is an inverse one.

The half life is usually reduced or shortened with an increase in the concentration and vice versa.
