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.

A 4.00 m long, massless beam rests horizontally on a support 3.00 m from the left
Rus_ich [418]

If the beam is in static equilibrium, meaning the Net Torque on it about the support is zero, the value of x₁ is 2.46m

Given the data in the question;

  • Length of the massless beam;L = 4.00m
  • Distance of support from the left end; x = 3.00m
  • First mass; m1 = 31.3 kg
  • Distance of beam from  the left end( m₁ is attached to ); x_1 = ?
  • Second mass; m_2 = 61.7 kg
  • Distance of beam from  the right of the support( m₂ is attached to ); x_1 = 0.273m

Now, since it is mentioned that the beam is in static equilibrium, the Net Torque on it about the support must be zero.

Hence, m_1g( x-x_1) = m_2gx_2

we divide both sides by g

m_1( x-x_1) = m_2x_2

Next, we make x_1, the subject of the formula

x_1 = x - [ \frac{m_2x_2}{m_1} ]

We substitute in our given values

x_1 = 3.00m - [ \frac{61.7kg\ * \ 0.273m}{31.3kg} ]

x_1 = 3.00m - 0.538m

x_1 = 2.46m

Therefore, If the beam is in static equilibrium, meaning the Net Torque on it about the support is zero, the value of x₁ is 2.46m

If an unknown element has a mass of 17 and contains 6 neutrons, how many protons does it have ?
lbvjy [14]

The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons within an atom and since we know that the unknown element has 6 neutrons, we can simply subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.

17 - 6 = 11

There are 11 protons in this unknown element.


Extra:

The number of protons (+) and electrons (-) are equal in a neutral atom so since you know that there are 11 protons you also know that there are 11 electrons. On the periodic table, the element with 11 electrons is Na or Sodium.


Hope this helps! :)
