What is cosmic microwave background radiation?

Physics
1 answer:
chubhunter [2.5K]3 years ago
6 0
Cosmic, or background, radiation is the small amount of high energy radiation which is mostly left over from the big bang or from supernovas. It is mostly single protons, but also alpha particles and even sometimes heavier elements. It can also refer to the low levels of electromagnetic radiation present all over the universe.

Describe the differences between a plum pudding model and a nuclear model.
sleet_krkn [62]
The plum pudding model, which has been abandoned since the discovery of the nucleus, stated that electrons were embedded in a "mush" of positive material. The nuclear model says they are placed around a central nucleus.

The electron gun in an old TV picture tube accelerates electrons between two parallel plates 1.4cm apart with a 28kV potential d
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

a)   F = 3.2 10⁻¹⁰ N , b)       v = 9.9 10⁷ m / s

Explanation:

a) The electric force is

       F = q E

The electric field is related to the potential reference

     V = E d

     E = V / d

Let's replace

    F = e V / d

Let's calculate

    F = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 28 10³ / 1.4 10⁻²

    F = 3.2 10⁻¹⁰ N

b) For this part we can use kinematics

          v² = v₀ + 2 a d

          v = √ 2 ad

Acceleration can be found with Newton's second law

        e V / d = m a

        a = e / m V / d

        a = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ / 9.1 10⁻³¹ 28 10³ / 1.4 10⁻²

        a = 3,516 10⁻¹⁷ m / s²

Let's calculate the speed

       v = √ (2 3,516 10¹⁷ 1.4 10⁻²)

       v = √ (98,448 10¹⁴)

       v = 9.9 10⁷ m / s

Assume a reaction takes 7.5 moles of anhydrous calcium chloride and energy transfer occurs, which we record as 21.2 joules of en
OLga [1]

Answer: 2.83 J/mol

Explanation:

Heat of solution, sometimes interchangeably called enthalpy of solution, is said to be the energy released or absorbed when the solute dissolves in the solvent. A solute is that which can dissolve in a solvent, to form a solution

Given

No of moles of CaCl = 7.5 mol

Total energy used = 21.2 J

Heat of solution = q/n where

q = total energy

n = number of moles

Heat of solution = 21.2 / 7.5

Heat of solution = 2.83 J/mol

How does temperature,barometric pressure,humidity,wind speed and direction, and precipitation determine the weather in a particu
Deffense [45]
Temperature is how hot or cold something is,barometric is air pressure(when the pressures high,the weather is dry)humidity is how moist the air is and how many water particles are there, wind speed and direction is how the hot and cold air is moving and how fast,which makes wind (high to low, hot to cold) precipitation is how much it is raining at that point.
