Margarita [4]3 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.

What does Kepler's first law of planetary motion imply?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is D.  The distance between the planet and the Sun changes as the planet orbits the sun.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Kepler’s laws of planetary motion, derived by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, are the laws of physics that describe the motions of the planets in the solar system.

According to the Kepler's first law of planetary motion: the path on which the planets orbit around the sun is elliptical in shape, with the center of the sun at one focus.

Therefore, the distance between the Sun and the planets vary as the planet orbit around the sun.

A 70.0-kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, catches a 0.150-kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 35.0 m/s. Suppos
brilliants [131]

Answer:

v₂=- 34 .85 m/s

v₁=0.14 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=70 kg ,u₁=0 m/s

m₂=0.15 kg ,u₂=35 m/s

Given that collision is elastic .We know that for elastic  collision

Lets take their final speed is v₁ and v₂

From momentum conservation

m₁u₁+m₂u₂=m₁v₁+m₂v₂

70 x 0+ 0.15 x 35 = 70 x v₁ + 0.15 x v₂

70 x v₁ + 0.15 x v₂=5.25                   --------1

v₂-v₁=u₁-u₂            ( e= 1)

v₂-v₁ = -35        --------2

By solving above equations

v₂=- 34 .85 m/s

v₁=0.14 m/s

What is the wavelength associated with an electron with a velocity of 4.8X10s m/s? (Mass of the electron is 9.1X10-31kg)?
amid [387]

Answer:

1.52 nm

Explanation:

Using the De Broglie wavelength equation,

λ = h/p where λ = wavelength associated with electron, h = Planck's constant = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js and p = momentum of electron = mv where m = mass of electron = 9.1 × 10⁻³¹ kg and v = velocity of electron = 4.8 × 10⁵ m/s

So, λ = h/p

λ = h/mv

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

λ = h/mv

λ = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js/(9.1 × 10⁻³¹ kg × 4.8 × 10⁵ m/s)

λ = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js/(43.68 × 10⁻²⁶ kgm/s)

λ = 0.1518 × 10⁻⁸ m

λ = 1.518 × 10⁻⁹ m

λ = 1.518 nm

λ ≅ 1.52 nm

What is the main incentive for using a traditional economy? A. profit B. stability C. progress D. economic equality Please selec
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

the answer is B, stability

Explanation:

A traditional economy is a system that is based on honorable customs, history, and beliefs. Tradition guides economic decisions, such as production and distribution. Traditional economies depend on agriculture, fishing, hunting, gathering or some combination above. They use exchange instead of money. Most traditional economies operate in emerging markets and developing countries. They are often in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. But you can find scholarships from traditional economies scattered all over the world. Economists and anthropologists believe that all other economies started out as traditional economies. Thus, they expect the remaining traditional economies to evolve into market, command or mixed economies over time.
