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 120-g block of copper is taken from a kiln and quickly placed into a beaker of negligible heat capacity containing 300 g of wa
gavmur [86]

Answer : The correct option is, (d) 535^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of copper = 0.10cal/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 1.00cal/g^oC

m_1 = mass of copper = 120 g

m_2 = mass of water = 300 g

T_f = final temperature of mixture = 35^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of copper = ?

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 15^oC  

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

120g\times 0.10cal/g^oC\times (35-T_1)^oC=-300g\times 1.00cal/g^oC\times (35-15)^oC

T_1=535^oC

Therefore, the temperature of the kiln was, 535^oC

1. Jen is stepping out of a boat on to a dock. She has one foot on the dock and one foot in
Gemiola [76]

you tend to push off with the foot still on the boat.

Newtons 3rd law of motion hold that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

So, the amount of force you use on your back foot to push yourself onto the dock, has an equal end opposite amount of force going the other way from your sole of your foot, which pushes the boat the other way.

The same principle applies when you fire a cannon - in the pirate films, you see the body of the cannon forced back as it is fired.

Take it one step further, Henry VIII flagship, “Mary Rose fired all its cannons together one day in a broad side, the opposite force rolled the ship over and sank it.

A manometer using oil (density 0.900 g/cm3) as a fluid is connected to an air tank. Suddenly the pressure in the tank increases
Mila [183]

Answer:

Rise in level of fluid is 0.11 m

Rise in level of fluid in case of mercury is 0.728 cm or 7.28 mm

Solution:

As per the question:

Density of oil, \rho_{o} = 0.900\ g/cm^{3} = 900\ kg/m^{3}

Change in Pressure in the tank, \Delta P = 7.28\ mmHg

Density of the mercury, \rho_{m} = 13.6\ g/cm^{3} = 13600\ kg/m^{3}

Now,

To calculate the rise in the level of fluid inside the manometer:

We know that:

1 mmHg = 133.332 Pa

Thus

\Delta P = 7.28\ times 133.332 = 970.656\ Pa

Also,

\Delta P = \rho_{o} gh

where

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the fluid level

970.656 = 900\times 9.8\times h

h = 0.11 m

Now, if mercury is used:

\Delta P = \rho_{m} gh

970.656 = 13600\times 9.8\times h

h = 0.00728 m = 7.28 mm
