Seen through a traditional optical telescope, the space between stars and galaxies is pitch black. But, with a radio telescope,

we detect a faint background glow, almost exactly the same in all directions, that is not associated with any star, galaxy, or other object.
This phenomenon, which provides evidence for the Big Bang theory, is called the


A) redshift.

B) singularity.

C) universal field theory.

D) cosmic microwave background.

That's the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). (D)

It doesn't "provide evidence for the ... Theory". The Big Bang theory is the best explanation (so far) for the CMB and a lot of other observations.

Evidence isn't used to prove theories. Theories are attempts to explain evidence.

Students measured the mass of 25.0 mL of water and found it be 25.4 g. The accepted mass is 25.0 g. What is the percent error of
Andre45 [30]
Well first of all, I think the students may have been correct. 
If they didn't use distilled water, and if it wasn't exactly at 
standard temperature, then the mass of  25.0 mL  could
very well be  25.4 grams.  We don't know that there was
any 'error' in their measurement at all.
But the question says there was, so we'll do the math:

The 'error' was  (25.4 - 25.0) = +0.4 gram

As a fraction of the 'real' value, the error was

                            +0.4 / 25.0  =  +0.016 .

To change a decimal to a percent, move the
decimal point two places that way  ===> .

                           + 0.016  =  +1.6 % .

     
Their measurement was 1.6% too high.

Let's not call it an 'error'.  Let's just call it a 'discrepancy'
between the measured value and the 'accepted' value.  OK ?

A heat pump is to be used for heating a house in winter. The house is to be maintained at 70°F at all times. When the temperatur
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

\dot{W_{H} } = 4244.48 Btu/h

Explanation:

Temperature of the house, T_{H} = 70^{0} F

Convert to rankine, T_{H} = 70^{0}+ 460 = 530 R

Heat is extracted at 40°F i.e T_{L} = 40^{0}F  = 40 + 460 = 500 R

Calculate the coefficient of performance of the heat pump, COP

COP = \frac{T_{H} }{T_{H} - T_{L}  } \\COP = \frac{530 }{530 - 500  }\\ COP = \frac{530}{30} \\COP = 17.67

The minimum power required to run the heat pump is given by the formula:

\dot{W_{H} } = \frac{\dot{Q_{H} }}{COP} \\...............(*)

Where the heat losses from the house, \dot{Q_{H} } = 75,000 Btu/h

Substituting these values into * above

\dot{W_{H} } = \frac{75000}{17.67} \\ \dot{W_{H} } = 4244.48 Btu/h

28. Which of the following correctly shows the order of highest amount of friction to the lowest amount of
Bad White [126]

Answer:

\mathrm{d.\:Static,\: Sliding,\:Rolling}

Explanation:

Static friction occurs when an object initially starts at rest. When the surfaces of the materials touch, the microscopic unevenness interlock greatest with each other, causing the most friction out of the three.

During sliding friction, an object is already moving or in motion. The microscopic surfaces still interlock, but because the object is in motion, it has a momentum. Therefore, the magnitude of sliding friction is less than that of static friction.

Rolling friction occurs when an object rolls across some surface. Rather than surfaces interlocking, rolling friction is caused by the constant distortion of surfaces. As it rolls, the surfaces of the object are constantly wrapping and changing. This distortion causes the rolling friction. However, it is much less in magnitude when compared to static or sliding friction.
