Answer:

(c) reduce atmospheric blurring

Explanation:

Observatories are the locations used to study the celestial events, climate, astronomy etc. As the observations are made with the radio and visible light of the electromagnetic radiations. So in order to have the clear view, observatories are made at higher places far from population, in the dark areas  having clear air, where they can clearly observe the sky. Atmospheric blurring is caused by the atmospheric turbulence. That cause the light coming from the stars to get slightly refracted thus effecting the results of the telescopes. In order to overcome it observatories are made at specific places like on the highest mountaintops.

Por un solenoide de 6500 espiras y 25 cm de longitud circula una corriente de 0,6 amperios. ¿Cuál es el valor del campo magnétic
9966 [12]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 0.0196 T

Explanation:

A current of 0.6 amps flows through a solenoid 6500 turns and 25 cm long. What is the value of the magnetic field inside it?

We have,

Current, I = 0.6 A

Number of turns in the solenoid, N = 6500

Length of solenoid, l = 25 cm = 0.25 m

The magnetic field inside the solenoid is given by :

B=\mu_o\dfrac{N}{l}I\\\\B=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 6500\times 0.6}{0.25}\\\\B=0.0196\ T

So, the value of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 0.0196 T.

The comet-hunting astronomer who made a list of over 100 nebulae and galaxies that could be mistaken for comets was Group of ans
Keith_Richards [23]

An Astronomer who made a list of 100 nebulae and galaxies that could

be mistaken for comets was Charles Messer's.

Charles Messier's was a very famous scientist in the field of Astronomy.

His research in appearance of Great comet filled spark to his passion

 of Astronomy. On January 21, 1759 he put his thought of wrong

 calculation of Delisle's and he described a faint glow resembling comet

 had been seen earlier. Then after, he discovered great comet near

 sword of Orion.

  There are various tales of Charles Messiers which put him forward

  towards his love of Astronomy.

Answer:

1. The stone will strike the ground 49.46 m from the base of the cliff

2. A) Approximately 0.542 seconds

B)  Approximately 3.69 m/s

3. A) The time the ball spends in the air is approximately 4.0775 s

B) The horizontal range is approximately  141.25 m.

Explanation:

1. The time it takes the stone to land is given by the equation, t = √(h/(1/2 × g)

∴ t = √(30/(1/2 × 9.81)) ≈ 2.473 seconds

The horizontal distance covered by the stone in that time = 20 × 2.473 ≈ 49.46 m

The stone will strike the ground 49.46 m from the base of the cliff

2. A) The time the ball spends in the air = t = √(h/(1/2 × g)

∴ t = √(1.44/(1/2 × 9.81)) ≈ 0.542 seconds

B) The initial horizontal velocity, u = Horizontal distance/(Time) = 2/0.542 ≈ 3.69 m/s

The initial horizontal velocity ≈ 3.69 m/s

3. A) The time the ball spends in the air is given by the following equation;

t = 2 × u × sin(θ)/g = 2 × 40 × sin(30)/9.81 ≈ 4.0775 s

t ≈ 4.0775 s

B) The horizontal range, R, of the  ball is given by the equation for the range of a projectile as follows;

Range, R = \dfrac{u^2 \times sin (2 \cdot \theta) }{g}

Substituting the known values, gives;

Range, R = \dfrac{40^2 \times sin (2 \times 30^{\circ}) }{9.81} \approx 141.25 \ m

The horizontal range ≈ 141.25 m.

A car starts at zero and gets to 50 km/hour in 10 minutes. What is the initial velocity?
gladu [14]
The initial velocity is the speed and direction of the car at the beginning
of the event. 

You just said that the car "starts at zero".  You might mean that it starts at
"location zero".   But then you go on to tell us its speed after 10 minutes,
so it sounds like the "zero" at which it starts is zero speed.

In that case, its initial velocity is zero.
