2. Black holes

The Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO),  formally recognized as the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF), is a space observatory originated about STS-93 by NASA on July 23, 1999. Chandra is susceptible to X-ray origins 100 times heavier than any preceding X-ray telescope, facilitated by the great angular interpretation of its glasses. Since the Earth's environment receives the vast majority of X-rays, they are not detectable from Earth-based telelectroscope; accordingly space-based telescopes are needed to make these observations. This observatory is basically famous for the study of Black holes in the Universe.

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity of the sun on earth.

That is,

Intensity of sun on the other planet, Iₒ = (intensity of the sun on earth, Iₑ)/100

Explanation:

Let the intensity of light be represented by I

Let the distance of the star be d

I ∝ (1/d²)

I = k/d²

For the earth,

Iₑ = k/dₑ²

k = Iₑdₑ²

For the other planet, let intensity be Iₒ and distance be dₒ

Iₒ = k/dₒ²

But dₒ = 10dₑ

Iₒ = k/(10dₑ)²

Iₒ = k/100dₑ²

But k = Iₑdₑ²

Iₒ = Iₑdₑ²/100dₑ² = Iₑ/100

Iₒ = Iₑ/100

Meaning the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity on earth.

What is terminal velocity and how is it reached?
Ber [7]
He thermal velocity or thermal speed is a typical velocity of the thermal motion of particles which make up a gas, liquid, etc. Thus, indirectly, thermal velocity is a measure of temperature. Technically speaking it is a measure of the width of the peak in the Maxwell–Boltzmann particle velocity distribution.
