Issac Newton

In the 17th century, Isaac Newton discovered that prisms could disassemble and reassemble white light, and described the phenomenon in his book Opticks. He was the first to use the word spectrum (Latin for "appearance" or "apparition") in this sense in print in 1671 in describing his experiments in optics.

High/low notes have high/low frequency, not high/low amplitude.
Heartz measures the number of waves per second, not per hour.
Sounds do not travel in space because it's empty
Sounds make our eardrum vibrate. The diaphragm is the muscle we use to breathe.
Soft, pale materials are best for sound proofing because they absorb the waves.
In the next paragraph, ultrasound and infrasound are inverted (ultra means "over, above" and infra means "below").

Explanation:

There are different theories and evidence about the big bang, in this case, we're going to see three evidence.

The galaxies are moving from us, this means space is expanded, this in consequence Big Bang's explosion.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

0.0979 N/c

Explanation:

Electric field, E is given as a product of resistivity and current density

E=jP where P is resistivity and j is current density

But the current density is given as

$j=\frac {I}{A}$ where I is current and A is area and $A=\pi r^{2}$

Substituting this into the first equation then $E=P\times \frac {I}{\pi r^{2}}$

Given diameter of 0.259 cm= 0.00259 m and the radius will be half of it which is 0.001295 m

$E=1.72\times 10^{-8}\times \frac {30}{\pi \times 0.001295^{2}}=9.79\times 10^{-2} N/c=0.0979 N/c$
