When does gravitational lensing occur? High concentrations of dark matter cause length contraction of nearby objects. The gravit

y from a distant object (like a quasar) distorts the appearance of nearby galaxies. Telescope lenses are distorted by gravitational forces from dark matter. A massive object (like a galaxy cluster) bends the light from an object (like a quasar) that lies behind it.

Answer:

A massive object (like a galaxy cluster) bends the light from an object (like a quasar) that lies behind it.

Explanation:

A massive object, like a galaxy cluster, is able to deform the space-time shape as a consequence of its own gravity, so the light that it is coming from a source that is behind it in the line of sight will be bend or distorts in a way that will be magnified, making small arcs around the cluster with the image of the background object.

This technique is useful for astronomers since they make research of faraway objects (at hight redshift) that otherwise will difficult to detect with a telescope.

A certain spring has a spring constant k1 = 660 N/m as the spring is stretched from x = 0 to x1 = 35 cm. The spring constant the
pantera1 [17]

(a) The equation for the work done in stretching the spring from x1 to x2 is ¹/₂K₂Δx².

(b) The work done, in stretching the spring from x1 to x2 is 11.25 J.

(c) The work, necessary to stretch the spring from x = 0 to x3 is 64.28 J.

<h3>Work done in the spring</h3>

The work done in stretching the spring is calculated as follows;

W = ¹/₂kx²

W(1 to 2) = ¹/₂K₂Δx²

W(1 to 2)  =  ¹/₂(250)(0.65 - 0.35)²

W(1 to 2)  = 11.25 J

W(0  to 3) = ¹/₂k₁x₁² + ¹/₂k₂x₂² + ¹/₂F₃x₃

W(0  to 3) = ¹/₂(660)(0.35)² + ¹/₂(250)(0.65 - 0.35)² + ¹/₂(105)(0.89 - 0.65)

W(0  to 3) = 64.28 J

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

1. 571.43m/s

2. 142.9m and 342.9m

Explanation:

1.Take the difference in time.

1.2-0.7=0.7 seconds

Take the distance between them and divide with differnce in time.

400÷0.7=571.43 seconds.

2.Take the time of the two men and divide by two.

0.5÷2= 0.25 secs

1.2÷2= 0.6 secs

multiply each with the velocity.

0.25×571.43=142.9m

0.6×571.43=342.9m

Why do circuits need to maintain a closed loop?
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

A closed circuit, for most intents and purposes, is one which carries electrons at high voltage through a load and releases them to an area of lower voltage. An open circuit is any circuit with a resistance sufficient to reduce the current to below any meaningful amount
