Answer: +1.77

Explanation:

Big dipper is the asterism made of seven bright stars in Ursa Major constellation. An asterism a pattern formed by joining the bright stars in the night sky. On the other hand, whole night sky is divided into 88 areas called constellations. These asterisms are used to identify the constellations.

The brightest star of the big dipper is Alioth which is the 32nd brightest star in the night sky. Its apparent magnitude is +1.77.

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.1 cm. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r

EastWind [94]

Answer:

$1.64\cdot 10^{-24}J$

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

$h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js$ is the Planck constant

$c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelenght of the photon

For the microwave photons in this problem,

$\lambda=12.1 cm=0.121 m$

so their energy is

$E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{0.121 m}=1.64\cdot 10^{-24}J$

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

We know that the force pulling the box in the positive x direction has a magnitude of m g sin 30 . Using Newtons Second Law, F = ma , we just need to solve for a :

ma=mgsin30

a=gsin30

=(10m/s2)(0.500)

=5m/s2

The flaming gorge bridge, in wyoming rises above a dry gulch. If you throw a rock straight out from the bridge, horizontally, an

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

12.495m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal displacement is the range of the projectile motion.

The range is expressed as;

R = 2U/g

U is the speed at which the rock is thrown (initial speed)

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given

R = 255cm = 2.55m

g = 9.8m/s²

Required

Speed U

Substitute the given parameters into the formula as shown;

2.55 = 2U/9.8

Cross multiply

2U = 2.55×9.8

2U = 24.99

U = 24.99/2

U = 12.495m/s

Hence the speed that you thew the rock is 12.495m/s
