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.

The diagram below represents a flashlight that has been turned on. Which form of energy is being converted to electrical energy
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Chemical energy to electrical energy

Explanation:

In nature, there are several types of energy.

In this example (a flashlight being turned on), we have a conversion of energy from chemical energy to electrical energy. In fact:

- Chemical energy is the energy stored in the chemical bonds of the molecules of the substances used inside the battery. When the chemical reaction inside the battery occurs, this energy is liberated, and it is used to "push" the electrons along the circuit connected to the battery

- Electric energy is the energy associated to the motion of the electrons along the circuit of the flashlight; it is the energy associated to an electric current.

Moreover, in the flashlight the electric energy is then converted into two more types of energy: light energy (since the bulb in the flashlight produces light) and heat energy (because the flashlight also produces heat, so thermal energy).

A truck traveled 400 meters north in 80 seconds and then it traveled 300 meters east in 70 seconds. The magnitude of the average
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

3.3m/s

Explanation:

You first get the total time (80 + 70 = 150s).

Then you would find the displacement of the truck. To do that you would do component method (vector addition), so since its a right triangle (North and East), displacement is 400^2 + 300^2 = d^2.

d= 500m.

So now that you have displacement and time, you can find the velocity:

v=d/t

v=500/150

v=3.3

What is the inverse square law and how does it relate to gravity?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Inverse Square Law Newton proposed the Inverse Square Law. The effect of gravity (and also on forces such as sunlight) works like this. If say we have a half-mass Earth, it would produce a gravity of not half but a quarter (the square of 2).

What is the slope of the line if the rise of a line on a distance versus-time graph is 900 meters and the run is 3 minutes?
Alexandra [31]
600/3 = 200
the slope is 200m/min
 
OR

600/ (3/60) =
600 x 60/3 =
600 x 20 = 12,000 meters per hour
