What is a constellation as astronomers define it today? What does it mean when an astronomer says, “I saw a comet in Orion last

night”?

Explanation:

Constellation: The complete sky has been divided in 88 different areas, in a way we have divided Earth in countries, not necessarily having same shapes and size. These 88 areas are known as constellations. These contains a lot of stars. When we join the brightest stars together we can imagine a shape out of them which is called as Asterism. Most of the people are unaware of this difference. Some of the famous constellations are Orion, Taurus, Gemini, Hydra, Ursa Major etc.

When an astronomer says that there is a comet is in the Orion, he means that a comet is in the boundaries of Orion constellation.

You have a battery marked " 6.00 V 6.00 V ." When you draw a current of 0.383 A 0.383 A from it, the potential difference betwee
Archy [21]

Answer:

V = 4.81 V

Explanation:

  • As the potential difference between the battery terminals, is less than the rated value of the battery, this means that there is some loss in the internal resistance of the battery.
  • We can calculate this loss, applying Ohm's law to the internal resistance, as follows:

        V_{rint} = I* r_{int}

  • The value of the potential difference between the terminals of the battery, is just the voltage of the battery, minus the loss in the internal resistance, as follows:

       V = V_{b} - V_{rint}  = 5.03 V = 6.0 V - 0.383 A* r_{int}

  • We can solve for rint, as follows:

         r_{int} = \frac{V_{b}-V}{I} =\frac{6.0V-5.03V}{0.383A} = 2.53 \Omega

  • When the circuit draws from battery a current I of 0.469A, we can find the potential difference between the terminals of the battery, as follows:

       V = V_{b} - V_{rint}  = 6.0 V - 0.469 A* 2.53 \Omega= 6.0 V - 1.19 V = 4.81 V

  • As the current draw is larger, the loss in the internal resistance will be larger too, so the potential difference between the terminals of the battery will be lower.

suppose that you look into a photometer's eyepiece and the fluorescent disks appear to be equal in intensity. If the distance be
d1i1m1o1n [39]
Use the Inverse square law, Intensity (I) of a light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d).

I=1/(d*d)

Let Intensity for lamp 1 is L1 distance be D1 so on, L2 D2 for Intensity for lamp 2 and its distance.

L1/L2=(D2*D2)/(D1*D1)

L1/15=(200*200)/(400*400)
L1=15*0.25

Flura [38]

The given data is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 84 m long. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.36.  Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes. (why does the car's mass not matter?)

Explanation:

Let us assume that v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity of the car. Let s be the skid marks and \mu be the friction coefficient and m be the mass of car.

Hence, the given data is as follows.

                v = 0,     s = 84 m,     \mu = 0.36

According to Newton's law of second motion the expression for acceleration is as follows.

                      F = ma

                 -\mu N = ma

                 -\mu mg = ma

                      a = -\mu g

Also,    

               v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as

              (0)^{2} = u^{2} + 2(-\mu g)s

                  u^{2} = 2(\mu g)s

                            = \sqrt{2(0.36)(9.81 m/s^{2})(84 m)}

                            = 24.36 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes is 24.36 m/s.

A student wish to measure the gravitational acceleration g. She does it by releasing a small lead ball from rest and measures th
Goryan [66]

Answer:

(9.64 +- 0.86) m/s^2

Explanation:

The generic motion equation for constant acceleration is

x = X0 + v0 * t + \frac{1}{2}*a * t^2

Where

X0: initial position

v0: initial speed

a: acceleration

t: time

If the object has an initial speed of zero, and the frame of reference is set conveniently so that the object initial position is zero, the equation simplifies to:

x = \frac{1}{2}*a * t^2

And the acceleration can be obtained as:

a = 2*\frac{x}{t^2}

Where x is the distance fallen and a = g.

So, with the data x = (100.0 +- 0.03) mm and t = (144 +- 3) ms we can calculate

g = 2*\frac{100}{144^2} = 9.64e-3 \frac{mm}{ms^2} = 9.64 \frac{m}{s^2}

For the uncertainty we have to calculate the relative uncertainties first

For the distance (100 * 0.3)/100 = 0.3%

For the time (100 * 3)/144 = 2.08%

For multiplications or divisions the relative uncertainties are added

0.3% + 2.08% + 2.08% = 4.46%

We convert this into absolute uncertainty:

(9.64e-3 * 4.46)/100 = 0.00043 mm/(ms^2)

Finally, this is multiplied by a constant scalar, so:

2 * 0.00043 mm/(ms^2) = 0.00086 mm/(ms^2)

We convert the units

0.86 m/(s^2)

And the measurement is (9.64 +- 0.86) m/s^2

A better method is putting the ball in a ramp instead of a free fall, that way the fall is longer and the effect of time measuring uncertainty is reduced.
