Why were phonograph records placed on the sides of the two voyager spacecraft launched in the 1970s?

Physics
1 answer:
LenaWriter [7]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Why do most carnivores live in forest? given reason ​
kotegsom [21]

\huge\purple{Hi!}

most carnivore live in forest because

  1. They are highly dependent on flesh for their food and therefore their food is easily available in forests.
  2. Small animals live in forests that make it the ideal habitat for carnivores.
  3. Carnivores help in maintaining the herbivore population at a healthy level, by hunting.
  4. It all helps in keeping ecosystems in balance.

The distance between the ruled lines on a diffraction grating is 1900 nm. The grating is illuminated at normal incidence with a
SashulF [63]

Answer:

3.28 degree

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance between the ruled lines on a diffraction grating, d=1900nm=1900\times 10^{-9}m

Where 1nm=10^{-9} m

\lambda_2=400nm=400\times10^{-9}m

\lambda_1=700nm=700\times 10^{-9}m

We have to find  the angular width of the gap between the first order spectrum and the second order spectrum.

We know that

\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{m\lambda}{d})

Using the formula

m=1

\theta_1=sin^{-1}(\frac{1\times700\times 10^{-9}}{1900\times 10^{-9}})

\theta=21.62^{\circ}

Now, m=2

\theta_2=sin^{-1}(\frac{2\times400\times 10^{-9}}{1900\times 10^{-9}})

\theta_2=24.90^{\circ}

\Delta \theta=\theta_2-\theta_1

\Delta \theta=24.90-21.62

\Delta \theta=3.28^{\circ}

Hence, the angular width of the gap between the first order spectrum and the second order spectrum=3.28 degree

A ball of silly putty hits andsticks to a bowling ball that was initially at rest. After thecollision, the total kinetic energy
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

3. less than the kinetic energy of thesilly putty before the collision.

Explanation:

This is because kinetic energy is dependent on the mass and velocity of an object. Mathematically, it is given as:

K. E. = ½*m*v²

Where m = mass

v = velocity

In the case of the silly putty, we know that the masses of the ball of silly putty and the bowling ball are conserved, hence, the kinetic energy depends solely on the velocity at which the object moves.

After the collision with the bowling ball, because of how heavy a bowling ball is, the speed of the silly putty and bowling ball will definitely be less than the speed of the silly putty before collision, i. e. u > v.

Hence, the kinetic energy after collision will be less than the kinetic energy before collision.

The distance y3,red from the center of the pattern to the location of the third diffraction minimum of the red laser is 4.05 cm.
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

L = a 1,929 10⁴ m

a = 0.1 mm = 0.1 10⁻³ m,     L = 1,929 m

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the expression

       a sin θ = m λ

Let's use trigonometry to find the breast

        tan θ = y / x

As the angles are very small

       tan θ = sin θ/ cos θ = sin θ = y / x

We replace

        a y / L = m λ

        L = a y / m λ

The red light has a wavelength of Lam = 700 nm = 700 10⁻⁹ m, in the third pattern it is m = 3

       L = a  4.05 10⁻² / (3 700 10⁻⁹)

       L = a 1,929 10⁴ m

To give a specific value we must know the width of the slit, suppose a value of  a = 0.1 mm = 0.1 10⁻³ m

       L = 1,929 m

How does the loneliest whale relate to physics/waves.
Lelechka [254]
Answer: the loneliest whale relates to the communication that whales give to each other

Explanation: whales have different forms of communication , and the ‘loneliest’ whale can’t get any company by the other whales.


In other words: it may be a new and different way whales communicate, nobody knows much about the loneliest whale. It may be forming a new kind of communication
