What do astronomers mean by light pollution?

Physics
2 answers:
Margarita [4]4 years ago

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.

Tomorrow i have a science test, could someone please fill me in on the water cycle?
Lorico [155]

the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere and land involving precipitation as rain and snow drainage in streams and rivers and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.

Hope this gives you a little bit more information!

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The electromagnetic force

Explanation:

The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. Namely, they are:

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between electrically charged particles (and between magnetic fields). The force can be either attractive (if the two charges have opposite signs) or repulsive (if the two charges have same sign), and it acts over an infinite range.

- Gravitational force: it is the force exerted between objects with mass. It is always attractive, and it also has an infinite range of action. It is the weakest of the four fundamental forces.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the force that acts between protons and neutrons inside the nucleus, and it is responsible for keeping the nucleus together and preventing it from breaking apart (due to the electrostatic repulsion between protons)

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for certains nuclear decays, such as the beta decay, in which a neutron turns into a proton, emitting an electron and an antineutrino.

The 1.53-kg uniform slender bar rotates freely about a horizontal axis through O. The system is released from rest when it is in
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The spring constant = 104.82 N/m

The angular velocity of the bar when θ = 32° is 1.70 rad/s

Explanation:

From the diagram attached below; we use the conservation of energy to determine the spring constant by using to formula:

T_1+V_1=T_2+V_2

0+0 = \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg (a+b) sin \ \theta }{2}  \\ \\ k \delta^2 = mg (a+b) sin \ \theta \\ \\ k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{\delta^2}

Also;

\delta = \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2}

Thus;

k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{( \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2})^2}

where;

\delta = deflection in the spring

k = spring constant

b = remaining length in the rod

m = mass of the slender bar

g = acceleration due to gravity

k = \frac{(1.53*9.8)(0.6+0.2) sin \ 64 }{( \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2 +2*0.6*0.6 sin \ 64} - \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2})^2}

k = 104.82\ \  N/m

Thus; the spring constant = 104.82 N/m

b

The angular velocity can be calculated by also using the conservation of energy;

T_1+V_1 = T_3 +V_3  \\ \\ 0+0 = \frac{1}{2}I_o \omega_3^2+\frac{1}{2}k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \theta }{2} \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} \frac{m(a+b)^2}{3}  \omega_3^2 +  \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \ \theta }{2} =0

\frac{m(a+b)^2}{3} \omega_3^2  + k(\sqrt{h^2+a^2+2ah sin \theta } - \sqrt{h^2+a^2})^2 - mg(a+b)sin \theta = 0

\frac{1.53(0.6+0.6)^2}{3} \omega_3^2  + 104.82(\sqrt{0.6^2+0.6^2+2(0.6*0.6) sin 32 } - \sqrt{0.6^2+0.6^2})^2 - (1.53*9.81)(0.6+0.2)sin \ 32 = 0

0.7344 \omega_3^2 = 2.128

\omega _3 = \sqrt{\frac{2.128}{0.7344} }

\omega _3 =1.70 \ rad/s

Thus, the angular velocity of the bar when θ = 32° is 1.70 rad/s
