Answer:

If we consider a system where the y-axis as the South-North line, and the x-axis as the West-East line (where North and East are the positive sides)

We know that the sun goes from East to West, so in our system, the sun goes from the positive side of the x-axis to the negative side of the x-axis.

Where we would see this if we were standing right in the equator line.

If we where in other point of the planet, the Sun will stil move from East to West, but it will have a little tilt along the path, so we will have a little displacement in the y-axis. This displacement will depend on where we are, if we are at the North of the equator, we will se that the sun seems to go a little towards South as it goes to the West side.

A six pack of your favorite beverage (12 fl. oz. cans, assumed to have the same characteristics as water) is placed in a cooler

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

$Q = 169 BTU$

Explanation:

As we know that volume is given as

$V = 12 Fl oz$

so it is given in liter as

$V = 12 fl oz = 0.355 Ltr$

now we have six pack of such volume

so total volume is given as

$V = 6\times 0.355 Ltr$

$V = 2.13 ltr$

so its mass is given as

$m = 2.13 kg$

now the change in temperature is given as

$\Delta T = 70 - 34 = 36 ^oF$

$\Delta T = 20^oC$

now the heat given to the liquid is given as

$Q = ms\Delta T$

$Q = 2.13(4186)(20)$

$Q = 1.78 \times 10^5 J$

$Q = 169 BTU$

In what regions of the electromagnetic spectrum is the atmosphere transparent enough to allow observations from the ground?

MissTica

Answer:

Visible Light and Radio waves

Explanation:

The earth's atmosphere is transparent to a few windows in the electromagnetic spectrum. it is completely transparent to allow observation from the ground in visible light rang 380 to 740 nano meters. Also in the range of radio wave as communication are done from space to ground in the form of radio waves.

it is Partially transparent to Microwave and infrared range.

Three long wires are connected to a meter stick and hang down freely. Wire 1 hangs from the 50-cm mark at the center of the mete

disa [49]

Answer:

Three long wires are connected to a meter stick and hang down freely. Wire 1 hangs from the 50-cm mark at the center of the meter stick and carries 1.50 A of current upward. Wire 2 hangs from the 70-cm mark and carries 4.00 A of current downward. Wire 3 is to be attached to the meterstick and to carry a specific current, and we want to attach it at a location that results ineach wire experiencing no net force.

(a) Determine the position of wire 3.

b) Determine the magnitude and direction of current in wire 3

Explanation:

a) $F_{net} \text {on wire }3=0$

$\frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_3}{2 \pi x} = \frac{\mu I_2 I_3}{2 \pi (0.2+x)} \\\\\frac{1.5}{x} =\frac{4}{0.2+x} \\\\0.03+1.5x=4x\\\\x=0.012m\\\\=1.2cm$

position of wire = 50 - 1.2

= 48.8cm

b) $F_{net} \text {on wire }1=0$

$\frac{\mu _0 I_1 I_3}{2 \pi (1.2)} = \frac{\mu _0 I_1 I_2}{2 \pi (20)} \\\\\frac{I_3}{1.2} =\frac{4}{20} \\\\I_3=0.24A$

Direction ⇒ downward

The expansion of the universe has also been compared to the inflation of a balloon. Suppose that before you inflate the balloon,

Alona [7]

Answer:

That the universe (the balloon for this case) is expanding and that is the reason why the galaxies (the dots) appear to move away one from another.

Explanation:

By means of looking at the spectra of galaxies, it can confirm that they are moving away in an accelerated motion.

Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when it is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect). The source in this particular case is represented for each of the galaxies.

Hence, the redshift represents this shift of the spectral lines to red part in the spectrum of a galaxy or any object which is moving away. That is a direct confirmation of how the universe is in an expanding accelerated motion.

The redshift can be define in analitic way by trought the doppler velocity:

$v = c\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda_{0}}$ (1)

Where $\Delta \lambda$ is the wavelength shift, $\lambda_{0}$ is the wavelength at rest, v is the velocity of the source and c is the speed of light.

$v = c(\frac{\lambda_{measured}-\lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}})$

$\frac{v}{c} = \frac{\lambda_{measured}-\lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}}$

$z = \frac{\lambda_{measured}-\lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}}$ (2)

Where z is the redshift.

The ballon example, once that it is inflating, represents how is the universe which it is expanding and that is the reason why the galaxies (the dots) appear to move away one from another.
