What is the electromagnetic spectrum and how is it used to gather information about

1 answer:

3 0

Telescopes use lenses or mirrors to collect and focus waves from the electromagnetic spectrum, including visible light, allowing us to look at celestial objects. By studying the electromagnetic waves given off by objects such as stars, galaxies, and black holes, astronomers can better understand the universe.

Julie drives 100 mi to Grandmother's house. On the way to Grandmother's, Julie drives half the distance at 44.0mph and half the

sashaice [31]

Answer:

52.47706 mph

54.5 mph

Explanation:

The average speed is given by

$V_{av}=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}$

$V_{av}=\dfrac{100}{\dfrac{50}{44}+\dfrac{50}{65}}\\\Rightarrow V_{av}=52.47706\ mph$

Julie's average speed on the way to Grandmother's house is 52.47706 mph

$V_{av}=\dfrac{44+65}{2}\\\Rightarrow V_{av}=54.5\ mph$

Average speed on the return trip is 54.5 mph

What in the atmosphere hold in the amount of heat needed to keep earth livable

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Greenhouse gases keep our planet livable by holding onto some of Earth's heat energy so that it doesn't all escape into space. This heat trapping is known as the greenhouse effect. Just as too little greenhouse gas makes Earth too cold, too much greenhouse gas makes Earth too warm.

1) A fan is to accelerate quiescent air to a velocity of 8 m/s at a rate of 9 m3/s. Determine the minimum power that must be sup

azamat

Answer:

$\dot{W} = 339.84 W$

Explanation:

given data:

flow Q = 9 m^{3}/s

velocity = 8 m/s

density of air = 1.18 kg/m^{3}

minimum power required to supplied to the fan is equal to the POWER POTENTIAL of the kinetic energy and it is given as

$\dot{W} =\dot{m}\frac{V^{2}}{2}$

here $\dot{m}$ is mass flow rate and given as

$\dot{m} = \rho*Q$

$\dot{W} =\rho*Q\frac{V^{2}}{2}$

Putting all value to get minimum power

$\dot{W} =1.18*9*\frac{8^{2}}{2}$

$\dot{W} = 339.84 W$

The tallest building in the world, according to some architectural standards, is the Taipei 101 in Taiwan, at a height of 1671 f

Andrej [43]

Answer:

35.14°C

Explanation:

The equation for linear thermal expansion is $\Delta L = \alpha L_0\Delta T$ , which means that a bar of length $L_0$ with a thermal expansion coefficient $\alpha$ under a temperature variation $\Delta T$ will experiment a length variation $\Delta L$ .

We have then $\Delta L$ = 0.481 foot, $L_0$ = 1671 feet and $\alpha$ = 0.000013 per centigrade degree (this is just the linear thermal expansion of steel that you must find in a table), which means from the equation for linear thermal expansion that we have a $\Delta T =\frac{\Delta L }{\alpha L_0}$ = 22.14°. As said before, these degrees are centigrades (Celsius or Kelvin, it does not matter since it is only a variation), and the foot units cancel on the equation, showing no further conversion was needed.

Since our temperature on a cool spring day was 13.0°C, our new temperature must be $T_f=T_0+\Delta T$ = 35.14°C
