Describe a technology used in space exploration.

Physics
1 answer:
Alex777 [14]3 years ago

Answer:

High speed optical communication technology

To be able to communicate from the space to the earth and from earth to space is one of the most essential features required during space exploration.

Explanation:

Space exploration involves going into the space, beyond the earth's atmosphere. Landing on other planets and studying their details, going into deeper space beyond the planets to discover new cosmic events or structures is all a part of space exploration.

The key to analyse the studies and observations is being able to communicate the data collected, photos taken etc to the launch centers or space centers on earth. The space centers on earth should also be able to communicate with the persons or the satellites in space.

This is made possible using the optical communication technology which involves the use of optical fibers, lasers etc, since high speeds are more efficient during communication

Which of the following is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS)?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is a system which uses a network of satellites to construct maps. So, that it would be easy to trace location of a person, or to reach over a certain place.

It helps an individual by showing the route of destination wherever he/she wants to reach along with the total time to reach over the place.

Thus, GPS can determine the elevation of a given area and also it can determine latitude and longitude of a given area. As each GPS satellite broadcasts with a high power, narrow bandwidth, down link signal which can be received by our small hand held receiver antenna called mobile phone.

A GPS cannot determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, GPS can determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

A student calculates the density of a copper cube to be 4.15 g/cm . If the accepted value is 8.64 g/cm the percentage error in h
Helen [10]

 The percentage error in his experimental value is -51.97%.

<h3>What is percentage error?</h3>

This is the ratio of the error to the actual measurement, expressed in percentage.

To calculate the percentage error of the student, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • Error(%) = (calculated value-accepted value)100/(accepted............. Equation 1

From the question,

Given:

  • Calculated value = 4.15 g/cm
  • accepted value = 8.64 g/cm

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • Error(%) = (4.15-8.64)100/8.64
  • Error(%) = -4.49(100)/8.64
  • Error(%) = -449/8.64
  • Error(%) = -51.97 %

 

Hence, The percentage error in his experimental value is -51.97%.

A train of mass 5.6 × 10^5kg is at rest in a station.at time t=0s, a resultant force acts on the train and it starts to accelera
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

420000N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the train  = 5.6 x 10⁵kg

Acceleration  = 0.75m/s²

Unknown:

Resultant force = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law, force is the product of mass and acceleration;

   Force  = mass x acceleration

Resultant force that acts on the train is given below;

 Force  = 5.6 x 10⁵kg  x 0.75m/s²  = 420000N
