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.

A student mixes two substances in a large beaker. After two hours, the student sees that the substances have separated again.
S_A_V [24]

The full question is found in the image attached

Answer:

Densities

Explanation:

When we talk about density, one of the things that come to our mind is actually how heavy something is.

If i have substances that possess different densities, i will notice that i can not really mix them because they will separate and the heavier substance will be at the bottom while the lighter substance will be at the top.

Hence the two substances separated due to difference in density.

A small car with mass of 0.800 kg travels at a constant speed
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The equation of equilibrium at the top of the vertical circle is:

\Sigma F = - N - m\cdot g = - m \cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}

The speed experimented by the car is:

\frac{N}{m}+g=\frac{v^{2}}{R}

v = \sqrt{R\cdot (\frac{N}{m}+g) }

v = \sqrt{(5\,m)\cdot (\frac{6\,N}{0.8\,kg} +9.807\,\frac{kg}{m^{2}} )}

v\approx 9.302\,\frac{m}{s}

The equation of equilibrium at the bottom of the vertical circle is:

\Sigma F = N - m\cdot g = m \cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}

The normal force on the car when it is at the bottom of the track is:

N=m\cdot (\frac{v^{2}}{R}+g )

N = (0.8\,kg)\cdot \left(\frac{(9.302\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{5\,m}+ 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)

N=21.690\,N

A 5.0-kilogram sphere, starting from rest, falls freely 22 meters in 3.0 seconds near the surface of a planet. Compared to the a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

C) one-half as great

Explanation:

We can calculate the acceleration of gravity in that planet, using the following kinematic equation:

\Delta x=v_0t+\frac{gt^2}{2}

In this case, the sphere starts from rest, so v_0=0. Replacing the given values and solving for g':

g'=\frac{2\Delta x}{t^2}\\g'=\frac{2(22m)}{(3s)^2}\\g'=4.89\frac{m}{s^2}

The acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is g=9.8\frac{m}{s^2}. So, the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is approximately one-half of the acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface.
