Answer:

Well, the options are not given in the questions. But the correct option is:

"Gamma rays do not completely penetrate earth atmosphere."

Explanation:

Most of the gamma rays coming from the stars and sun can not penetrate the earth's atmosphere because atmosphere is as thick to the gamma rays as a 12 foot thick plate of aluminium. They rather absorb in the atmosphere and knock out electrons by reacting with the atoms and produce ions and electrons.  These secondary ions and electrons then came to earth during rain fall. Due to this reason gamma ray telescope was not get funded for the study of black holes.

Answer:

Option C = Gamma rays don't completely penetrate Earth's atmosphere.

Explanation:

A telescope is a scientific and engineering instrument or apparatus which has the characteristics of making small objects to turn to big objects when been viewed with the telescope. Like the one used by a federal body known as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA), the gamma ray telescope is use in the detection of radiation.

Another term we are going to check in this question is the Gamma rays. Gamma rays is an Electromagnetic radiation which has high energy and they also short wavelength.

A gamma ray telescope located in Antarctica that is to be used to look for evidence of black holes in the centers of galaxies would not get funded because of option "c" which says that Gamma rays don't completely penetrate Earth's atmosphere.

Hii I need help ASAP with this physics question
Readme [11.4K]

Between the top of the first and the top of the second loop, the coaster has lost potential energy = mgh, where h = 22.2 - 15 = 7.2m

This energy would have converted to Kinetic. Write out an equation and the masses will cancel out. Does that hint help you to find the solution? If not, I will give you another hint.

The Andromeda galaxy is the closest major galaxy to our own. Andromeda shows a distinct blue-shift of light when we analyze it.
saul85 [17]
At the present time, the only way we know of that light can get shifted
toward the blue end of the spectrum is the Doppler effect ... wavelengths
appear shorter than they should be when the source is moving toward us. 

IF that's true in the case of the Andromeda galaxy, it means the galaxy is
moving toward us.

We use the same reasoning to conclude that all the galaxies whose light is red-shifted are moving away from us.  That includes the vast majority of all galaxies that we can see, and it strongly supports the theory of the big bang
and the expanding universe.

If somebody ever comes along and discovers a DIFFERENT way that light
can get shifted to new, longer or shorter wavelengths, then pretty much all
of modern Cosmology will be out the window.  There's a lot riding on the
Doppler effect !

A tank of water is in the shape of a cone (assume the ""point"" of the cone is pointing downwards) and is leaking water at a rat
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

a) dh/dt = -44.56*10⁻⁴ cm/s

b) dr/dt = -17.82*10⁻⁴ cm/s

Explanation:

Given:

Q = dV/dt = -35 cm³/s

R = 1.00 m

H = 2.50 m

if h = 125 cm

a) dh/dt = ?

b) dr/dt = ?

We know that

V = π*r²*h/3

and

tan ∅ = H/R = 2.5m / 1m = 2.5  ⇒ h/r = 2.5

⇒  h = (5/2)*r

⇒  r = (2/5)*h

If we apply

Q = dV/dt = -35 = d(π*r²*h/3)*dt

⇒  d(r²*h)/dt = 3*35/π = 105/π   ⇒   d(r²*h)/dt = -105/π

a) if   r = (2/5)*h

⇒  d(r²*h)/dt = d(((2/5)*h)²*h)/dt = (4/25)*d(h³)/dt = -105/π

⇒  (4/25)(3*h²)(dh/dt) = -105/π

⇒  dh/dt = -875/(4π*h²)

b) if  h = (5/2)*r

Q = dV/dt = -35 = d(π*r²*h/3)*dt

⇒  d(r²*h)/dt = d(r²*(5/2)*r)/dt = (5/2)*d(r³)/dt = -105/π

⇒  (5/2)*(3*r²)(dr/dt) = -105/π

⇒  dr/dt = -14/(π*r²)

Now, using h = 125 cm

dh/dt = -875/(4π*h²) = -875/(4π*(125)²)

⇒  dh/dt = -44.56*10⁻⁴ cm/s

then

h = 125 cm  ⇒  r = (2/5)*h = (2/5)*(125 cm)

⇒  r = 50 cm

⇒  dr/dt = -14/(π*r²) = - 14/(π*(50)²)

⇒  dr/dt = -17.82*10⁻⁴ cm/s
