Answer:

1.1

Explanation:

Cosmic rays are particles traveling at extreme speeds through intergalactic space. Many are launched by exploding supernovae. From the question, we know that slowest cosmic rays travel at 43% of the speed of light that is 43/100 multiply by the speed of light(speed of light= 3.0×10^8 m/s).

Gamma factor can be calculated using the formula below;

Gamma factor= 1/(1- v^2/c^2)^1/2 --------------------------------------------(1).

Gamma factor= 1/(1-3.0×10^8 metre per seconds ×43/100÷ 3.0×10^8 metre per seconds) ^1/2

Gamma factor= 1/(1-1.6641×10^16/3.0×10^2)^1/2

Gamma factor= 1/(1-1.16641×10^16/9×10^16)^1/2

Gamma factor= 1/(1-0.1296)^1/2

Gamma factor= 1/(0.87)^1/2

Gamma factor= 1/0.9327

Gamma factor= 1.072112535

Gamma factor= ~ 1.1

You throw a rock horizontally out of a 7th story window. You time that it takes 3.7 seconds to hit the ground, and measure that
Nady [450]
Since we are only looking at the vertical height, we can use the free fall equation to find the height:
h = 0.5*g*t^2, where h is height in m, g is acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2), and t is time in seconds
h = 0.5*(9.81 m/s^2)*(3.7 s)^2
h = 67.15 m
Therefore, the 7th floor window is 67.15 m above ground level.

Optics of the eye: the closest object that a typical young person with normal vision can focus on clearly is closest to:______.
Natali [406]

The human eye is one of the most valuable sense organ. The closest object that a typical young person with normal vision can focus closest to is 25 cm

The lens in the eye forms the image on the retina. The image formed is real and inverted. The retina is a very delicate membrane containing numerous light sensitive cells.

This light sensitive cells gets activated when light falls on it and generates electric signals. These electric signals are sent to the brain via the optic nerves present in the eye. The brain finally processes these signals and thus we see the object clearly.

The ability of the lens of the eye to adjust its focal length accordingly is called the power of accommodation,

The minimum distance, at which the object can be seen clearly without any strain is called the least distance of distinct vision.

To see an object clearly without any strain is when we place it at about 25 cm from the eye.
