It makes calculations with very large and small numbers easier.

Scientific notation is a system used in order to It makes calculations with very large and small numbers easier. It is useful as it allows very large number that would take a lot of space to write otherwise, and it allows them to be calculated easier. 10^{23} for example is a incredible large number, but written in this form is immediately understandable and useful for calculation.

What are dimensionless quantities??​
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Characteristic numbers are dimensionless numbers used in fluid dynamics to describe a character of the flow. To compare a real situation with a small-scale model it is necessary to keep the important characteristic numbers the same. Names of these numbers were standardized in ISO 31, part 12.

Both objects A and D represent fixed, negatively-charged particles of equal magnitude and Object B represents a fixed, positivel
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Option A = 1.

Explanation:

So, in order to solve this question we are given the Important infomation or data or parameters in the question above as;

(1). First, Both objects A and D represent fixed.

(2).  Both objects A and D are negatively-charged particles of equal magnitude.

(3). "Object B represents a fixed, positively-charged particle (equal, but opposite charge from A and D)."

(4). "Object C shows a moving, positively-charged particle."

So, our mission is to determine the arrow that would correctly show the force of attraction or repulsion on object C caused by the other two objects.

We can do that by drawing out the forces of attraction and the resultants. Therefore, CHECK THE ATTACHED FILE/PICTURE FOR THE DRAWINGS.

The forces of attraction due to objects A and B on on object C will be towards themselves. Hence, the resultant is ONE(1).

During a certain comet’s orbit around the Sun, its closest distance to the Sun is 0.6 AU, and its farthest distance from the Sun
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

At the closest point

Explanation:

We can simply answer this question by applying Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion.

It states that:

"A line connecting the center of the Sun to any other object orbiting around it (e.g. a comet) sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals"

In this problem, we have a comet orbiting around the Sun:

- Its closest distance  from the Sun is 0.6 AU

- Its farthest distance from the Sun is 35 AU

In order for Kepler's 2nd law to be valid, the line connecting the center of the Sun to the comet must move slower when the comet is farther away (because the area swept out is proportional to the product of the distance and of the velocity: A\propto vr, therefore if r is larger, then v (velocity) must be lower).

On the other hand, when the the comet is closer to the Sun the line must move faster (A\propto vr, if r is smaller, v must be higher). Therefore, the comet's orbital velocity will be the largest at the closest distance to the Sun, 0.6 A.

Structures on a bird feather act like a diffraction grating having 8000 8000 lines per centimeter. What is the angle of the firs
sammy [17]

Answer:

Angle of first order maximum, \theta=21.19^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, \lambda=452\ nm=452\times 10^{-9}\ m

Number of lines, N = 8000 per cm

The relation between the number of lines and the slit width is given by :

d=\dfrac{1}{N}

d=\dfrac{1}{8000/cm}  

d=0.000125\ cm=1.25\times 10^{-6}\ m

The equation of grating is given by :

d\ sin\theta=n\lambda

n = 1

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{d}

sin\theta=\dfrac{452\times 10^{-9}}{1.25\times 10^{-6}}

\theta=21.19^{\circ}

So, the angle of the first-order maximum is 21.19 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.
