Answer:

The reason for phonograph installation is to provide information about humans to interstellar aliens.

Explanation:

Phonographs are archaic forms of gramophone which are able to record and reproduce sound.Phonographs were used in early days in voyagers to help transmit information about humans to nearby alien species in space.

Consider the following neutral electron configurations in which n has a constant value. Which configuration would belong to the
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

he configuration with the highest electronic affinity is 2s2 2p5

Explanation:

Electronic affinity is the variation of energy when we add an electron to a neutral atom to form an ion

When an electron is added, it must occupy a space is the sub-level of the atom, giving more stability when it approaches the configuration of a complete shell with eight electrons (noble gas), so the affinity must increase when moving in a period Group VIII noble gases)

Let's examine the given settings

In this case, when adding an electron, 2s2 is very far from a complete level configuration, so its affinity must be small.

2s2 2p2 when adding an electro the one has a little more affinity, but is still a long way from a full shell, it would be missing 3 electrons

2s2 2sp5 this is the atom with the highest electronic affinity, since i = that when adding an electron the ion has the configuration of a noble gas. This is the most stable on the list

2s2 2p6 already has a full shell making it very difficult to insert an electron into this atom.

In summary, the configuration with the highest electronic affinity is 2s2 2p5

A new planet has been discovered and given the name Planet X . The mass of Planet X is estimated to be one-half that of Earth, a
harina [27]

Answer:

    vₐ = v_c  ( \ 1 + \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{\Delta M}{M} - \frac{\Delta R}{R}) \ )

Explanation:

To calculate the escape velocity let's use the conservation of energy

starting point. On the surface of the planet

          Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v_c² - G Mm / R

final point. At a very distant point

         Em_f = U = - G Mm / R₂

energy is conserved

           Em₀ = Em_f

           ½ m v_c² - G Mm / R = - G Mm / R₂

           v_c² = 2 G M (1 /R -  1 /R₂)

if we consider the speed so that it reaches an infinite position R₂ = ∞

           v_c = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

now indicates that the mass and radius of the planet changes slightly

            M ’= M + ΔM = M ( 1+ \frac{\Delta M}{M} )

            R ’= R + ΔR = R ( 1 + \frac{\Delta R}{R} )

we substitute

           vₐ = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} } \  \frac{\sqrt{1+ \frac{\Delta M}{M} } }{ \sqrt{1+ \frac{ \Delta R}{R} } }

         

let's use a serial expansion

           √(1 ±x) = 1 ± ½ x +…

we substitute

         vₐ = v_ c ( (1 + \frac{1}{2}  \frac{\Delta M}{M} )  \ ( 1 - \frac{1}{2}  \frac{\Delta R}{R} ))

we make the product and keep the terms linear

        vₐ = v_c  ( \ 1 + \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{\Delta M}{M} - \frac{\Delta R}{R}) \ )

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

  1/8

Explanation:

17,100 years is 3 times the half-life of 5,700 years. After each half-life, half remains, so the amount remaining after 3 half-lives is ...

  (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8

1/8 of the sample remains after 17,100 years.
