<h3><u>Technology used by astronomers to look for life on other plants:</u></h3>

Space-based Hubble and Spitzer telescopes and Green Bank telescopes are used.
Many new satellites are launched to trace earth like planets. Even the telescopes are carried by spacecrafts.

Astronomers are using Allen Telescope Array that comprises 42 radio antennas to get hold of signals over a wide range of radio frequencies that are tuned to listen to the regions nearer to the red dwarf star constellations.
Scientists needed telescopes that are capable of detecting planets like Earth in our planet’s neighborhood and see if any biological signatures connected to any microbial or other intelligent life can be found.
Radio signals are also being used to detect if the outside world has something to communicate so that they can be detected.

Calculat the acceleration of a person at latitude<br> 40degreesowing to the rotation of the earth.

beks73 [17]

Answer:

acceleration of person = 9.77 m/s²

Explanation:

given data

latitude = 40 degree

to find out

Calculate the acceleration of a person

solution

we know that here 40 degree = 0.698 rad

acceleration of person = g - ω²R ...............1

and 1 rotation complete in 24 hours = 360 degree

here g is 9.81

so we know Earth angular speed ω = 7.27 × $10^{-5}$ rad/s and R is earth radius that is 6.37 × $10^{6}$ m

put here value in equation 1 we get

acceleration of person = g - ω²R

acceleration of person = 9.81 - (7.27 × $10^{-5}$ )² × 6.37 × $10^{6}$

acceleration of person = 9.77 m/s²

A simple pendulum has a period of 3.45 second, when the length of the pendulum is shortened by 1.0m, the period is 2.81 second c

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Original length = 2.97 m

Explanation:

Let the original length of the pendulum be 'L' m

Given:

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Original time period of the pendulum (T) = 3.45 s

Now, the length is shortened by 1.0 m. So, the new length is 1 m less than the original length.

New length of the pendulum is, $L_1=L-1$

New time period of the pendulum is, $T_1=2.81\ s$

We know that, the time period of a simple pendulum of length 'L' is given as:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$ -------------- (1)

So, for the new length, the time period is given as:

$T_1=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L_1}{g}}$ ------------ (2)

Squaring both the equations and then dividing them, we get:

$\dfrac{T^2}{T_1^2}=\dfrac{(2\pi)^2\frac{L}{g}}{(2\pi)^2\frac{L_1}{g}}\\\\\\\dfrac{T^2}{T_1^2}=\dfrac{L}{L_1}\\\\\\L=\dfrac{T^2}{T_1^2}\times L_1$

Now, plug in the given values and calculate 'L'. This gives,

$L=\frac{3.45^2}{2.81^2}\times (L-1)\\\\L=1.507L-1.507\\\\L-1.507L=-1.507\\\\-0.507L=-1.507\\\\L=\frac{-1.507}{-0.507}=2.97\ m$

Therefore, the original length of the simple pendulum is 2.97 m

Consider the following examples of homeostatic regulation: In response to an increase in plasma K concentrations, secretion of t

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Both are examples of negative feedback regulation.

Explanation:

The maintenance of the homeostasis in the body is controlled by the the feedback regulation of the body. Two main types of feedback regulation are positive regulation and negative regulation.

The negative regulation occurs when the final product of the reactions inhibits the further secretion of that product. In the given examples of aldosterone and calcium mechanism, the secretion of aldosterone and calcium decreases as the normal levels are acheived in the body.

Thus, the answer is both are examples of negative feedback regulation.

Calculate how much work is done when a force of 1600 N pulls a car through a distance of 40 m in the direction of the force.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer: work done = 64,000J or 64KJ.

Explanation:

Work is said to be done if a force applied makes the object to move through a distance in the direction of the applied force. Work is the product of force and perpendicular distance in the direction of the applied force. It is represented by W, measured in Joules(J) and a scalar quantity.

Thus, work done(J)= force(N) × distance(m)

From the the question,

applied force= 1600N

distance=40m

Therefore, work= 1600 × 40

W= 64,000J

But, 1 kilojoules = 1000J

Therefore, 64,000J = 64,000 ÷ 1000

= 64KJ

Work done is 64KJ
