Answer: False. The stars in a constellation are not physically close to one another.

Explanation: A star in constellation, are pattern of stars in the night sky. For many constellations, the stars are not near each other. They just happen to appear near each other in our sky.

A mass m = 3.9 kg hangs from a massless string wrapped around a uniform cylinder with mass Mp = 10.53 and radius R= 0.96 m. The

Answer:

the rotational inertia of the cylinder = 4.85 kgm²

the mass moved 7.942 m/s

Explanation:

Formula for calculating Inertia can be expressed as:

$I =\frac{1}{2}mR^2$

For calculating the rotational inertia of the cylinder ; we have;

$I = \frac{1}{2}m_pR^2$

$I = \frac{1}{2}*10.53*(0.96)^2$

$I=5.265*(0.96)^2$

$I=4.852224$

I ≅ 4.85 kgm²

mg - T ma and RT = I ∝

T = $\frac{Ia}{R^2}$

$a = \frac{g}{1+\frac{I}{mR^2}}$

$a = \frac{9.8}{1+\frac{4.85}{3.9*(0.96)^2}}$

a = 4.1713 m/s²

Using the equation of motion

$v^2 = u^2+2as \\ \\ v^2 = 2as \\ \\ v = \sqrt{2*a*s} \\ \\ v= \sqrt{2*4.1713*7.56} \\ \\ v = 7.942 \ m/s$

How do the amplitudes of a 120 decibel sound and a 100-decibel sound compare?

NemiM [27]

The 120 decibel sound has more amplitude than the 100 decibel sound.

In Physics, the relation between amplitude and intensity is that the intensity of the wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.

An experiment is set up to test the angular resolution of an optical device when red light (wavelength ????r ) shines on an aper

Neko [114]

Explanation:

As per Rayleigh criterion, the angular resolution is given as follows:

$\theta=\frac{1.22 \lambda}{D}$

From this expression larger the size of aperture, smaller will be the value of angular resolution and hence, better will be the device i.e. precision for distinguishing two points at very high angular difference is higher.

Light is traveling through the different media shown. In which medium does light travel fastest?

bija089 [108]

Light travelling in a vacuum is the fastest thing in the universe. The speed would be 2.99x10^8 m/s. The answer to this question is 'vacuum', where light can travel the fastest. I hope this helps you. You're welcome!
