The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Ex: Electricity only changes forms (potential, kinetic, heat, etc...)

The law of conservation of energy is a law of science that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed from one form into another or transferred from one object to another.

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

(a)0.0002778

(b) $1.16\times10^{-5}$

Explanation:

(a) The minute hand has a period of 60 minutes ( or 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds) for 1 circle. Its frequency per second would be

1 / 3600 = 0.0002778

(b) The hour hand has a period of 24 hours ( or 24*60 * 60 = 86400

seconds) for 1 circle. Its frequency per second would be

$1 / 86400 = 1.16\times10^{-5}$

Why do some scientists think that Irr II galaxies have irregular, distorted shapes?

laila [671]

They believe the distortions happened when two galaxies collided.

A single-slit diffraction pattern is formed by monochromatic electromagnetic radiation from a distant source passing through a s

tatiyna

Answer:

a. λ = 647.2 nm

b. I₀ 9.36 x 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Given:

β = 56.0 rad , θ = 3.09 ° , γ = 0.170 mm = 0.170 x 10⁻³ m

The wavelength of the radiation can be find using

β = 2 π / γ * sin θ

λ = [ 2π * γ * sin θ ] / β

λ = [ 2π * 0.107 x 10⁻³m * sin (3.09°) ] / 56.0 rad

λ = 647.14 x 10⁻⁹ m ⇒ λ = 647.2 nm

The intensity of the central maximum I₀

I = I₀ (4 / β² ) * sin ( β / 2)²

I = I₀ (4 / 56.0²) * [ sin (56.0 /2) ]²

I = I₀ 9.36 x 10⁻⁵

The mass of a spacecraft is about 435 kg . An engine designed to increase the speed of the spacecraft while in outer space provi

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Δ v = 125 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of space craft = 435 Kg

thrust = 0.09 N

time = 1 week

= 7 x 24 x 60 x 60 s

change in speed of craft = ?

Assuming no external force is exerted on the space craft

now,

$T= m_s a$

$a=\dfrac{T}{m_s}$

$a =\dfrac{0.09}{435}$

a = 2.068 x 10⁻⁴ m/s²

using equation of motion

Δ v = a t

Δ v = 2.068 x 10⁻⁴ x 7 x 24 x 60 x 60

Δ v = 125 m/s
