In my opinion, the correct answer among the choices listed above is option C. The Big Bang Theory states that between 15 and 20 billion years ago, the universe began expanding out of an enormous explosion. However, the exact number is approximately 13.8 billion years ago.

Answer:

Big Bang theory

Explanation:

The big bang theory describes the beginning of the universe. According this theory, all the matter of the universe was confined at a point and about 15-20 billion years ago, it started expanding out of a huge explosion -the big bang. The universe has been expanding since then. The discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation provides the evidence to this theory.

Thus, the correct option is C.

A bowling ball with a momentum of 18kg-m/s strikes a stationary bowling pin. After the collision, the ball has a momentum of 13k

Veronika [31]

Answer:

$14.98\ \text{kg m/s}$

$45.26^{\circ}$

Explanation:

$P_1$ = Initial momentum of the pin = 13 kg m/s

$P_i$ = Initial momentum of the ball = 18 kg m/s

$P_2$ = Momentum of the ball after hit

$55^{\circ}$ = Angle ball makes with the horizontal after hitting the pin

$\theta$ = Angle the pin makes with the horizotal after getting hit by the ball

Momentum in the x direction

$P_i=P_1\cos55^{\circ}+P_2\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=P_i-P_1\cos55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=18-13\cos55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=10.54\ \text{kg m/s}$

Momentum in the y direction

$P_1\sin55=P_2\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow P_2\sin\theta=13\sin55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\sin\theta=10.64\ \text{kg m/s}$

$(P_2\cos\theta)^2+(P_2\sin\theta)^2=P_2^2\\\Rightarrow P_2=\sqrt{10.54^2+10.64^2}\\\Rightarrow P_2=14.98\ \text{kg m/s}$

The pin's resultant velocity is $14.98\ \text{kg m/s}$

$P_2\sin\theta=10.64\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\dfrac{10.64}{14.98}\\\Rightarrow \theta=45.26^{\circ}$

The pin's resultant direction is $45.26^{\circ}$ below the horizontal or to the right.

Which data set has the smallest standard deviation?

hjlf

Answer:

B. 22,22,23,23,22,22,23

Explanation:

The standard deviation is a measure of dispersion or variability of a data set. In order to determine the data set that has the smallest standard deviation, we shall investigate on the ranges of the data sets given. The range of a data set is simply the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a data set. A data set that has a smaller range also has a smaller standard deviation.

From the alternatives given, the data set given by alternative B has the smallest range and consequently the smallest standard deviation.

The maximum value is 23 while the minimum is 22. The range is 1.

Do quasars reside within or without side of galaxies?

sveticcg [70]

They almost entirely reside within galaxies because quasars are a subset of blackholes with a large and fast enough accretion disk to generate a beam of interstellar material perpendicular to itself. This typically only occurs in the largest black holes at the center of galaxies (supermassive blackholes) or at least stellar black holes---which still occur within galaxies because the material is necessary to form them.

Sadi Carnot came up with a hypothetical heat engine that had the maximum possible efficiency. What discovery did Carnot make tha

otez555 [7]

The discovery which Carnot made was that THE DIFFERENCE IN THE TEMPERATURES BETWEEN THE HOT AND THE COLD RESERVOIRS DETERMINE HOW WELL A HEAT ENGINE WOULD WORK.
Sadi Carnot was a French engineer, He proposed a theoretical thermodynamic cycle in 1824. In his cycle, Said hold that the efficiency of a heat engine depends on the temperature difference between its hot reservoir and cold reservoir.

A small solid sphere and a small thin hoop are rolling along a horizontal surface with the same translational speed when they en

torisob [31]

This situation has a basis such that the solid sphere and the hoop has the same mass. The analysis could be made<span> backwards . The ball will decelerate fastest, so not roll as high. The sphere will accelerate faster, but this also means it decelerates faster on the way up. Hence the answer is the hoop if the masses are equal </span>
