What is dark energy and what evidence do astronomers have that it is an important component of the universe?

Physics
1 answer:
PSYCHO15rus [73]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The existance of dark energy was suggested to help explain measurements, using Type Ia supernovae as distance indicators, that the expansion of the universe is speeding up and its acceleration requires a source of energy. Scientists suggested that It may be a new form of energy for which there is not yet a theoretical explanation. quantum mechanics predict that it may be the vacuum energy associated with "empty" space itself.

Suppose the designers of the water slide want to adjust the height h above the water so that riders land twice as far away from
Nitella [24]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

Range is doubled

for range to be doubled height should become 4 times.

formula to calculate the horizontal range

          R = v T_{flight}

using equation of motion

s = u t + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}

now,

      R = v\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}}

where, h is the height of the

Assuming the height be equal to 0.6 m

to calculate the new height

         h_{new}= 4 h

         h_{new}= 4\times 0.6

        h_{new}= 2.4\ m

hence, the correct answer is option C

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) orbits 569 km above Earth’s surface. If HST has a tangential speed of 7,750 m/s, how long is HS
deff fn [24]

Answer: 5,640 s (94 minutes)

Explanation:

the tangential speed of the HST is given by

v=\frac{2\pi r}{T} (1)

where

2\pi r is the length of the orbit

r is the radius of the orbit

T is the orbital period

In our problem, we know the tangential speed: v=7,750 m/s. The radius of the orbit is the sum of the Earth's radius and the distance of the HST above Earth's surface:

r=6.38\cdot 10^6 m+569,000 m=6.95\cdot 10^6 m

So, we can re-arrange equation (1) to find the orbital period:

T=\frac{2 \pi r}{v}=\frac{2 \pi (6.95\cdot 10^6 m/s)}{7,750 m/s}=5,640 s

Dividing by 60, we get that this time corresponds to 94 minutes.
