Explanation:

Only few supernova are observed in our galaxy -

Type II supernovae ( i.e. the explosions of the massive stars ) occurred in the Milky Way, and they might be hidden by the intervening dust if they are located in the more distant parts of our Galaxy .

Type Ia supernovae , which need a white dwarf star in the binary star system , are brighter than the type II supernovae , but some of them could also happen in the older parts of Galaxy which are hidden due to the buildup of the dust and gas .

At what height is an object that weighs 490 newtons if its gravitational potential energy is 4900 J?

Sergio [31]

Answer:

The height at which the object is moved is 10 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the object, W = F = 490 N

The gravitational potential energy, P = 4900 J

We need to find the height at which the object is moved. We know that the gravitational potential energy is possessed due to its position. It is given by :

$P=mgh\\\\h=\dfrac{P}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{4900\ J}{490\ N}\\\\h=10\ m$

So, the height at which the object is moved is 10 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

The Gulf Stream is an ocean current that runs from the southern tip of Florida up the eastern coast of the U.S. And ends in the

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The Northern flowing stream will affect the coast of Europe by making climate of Western Europe and Northern Europe to be warmer than other areas that are located around the same latitude and this is simply because of the North Atlantic Current

Explanation:

The Northern flowing stream will affect the coast of Europe because the North Atlantic current causes the Gulf stream to be split into two ( 2 ) and the Northern stream which is a warm stream crossing over to Northern Europe. <em>The Gulf stream makes climate of Western Europe and Northern Europe to be warmer than other areas that are located around the same latitude and this is simply because of the North Atlantic Current</em>

You are watching a magic show. For one trick the magician rolls a ball down a hill. Suddenly the ball stops moving down the hill

poizon [28]

The forces (what causes the ball to accelerate) are gravity, friction, and the normal force. In this case, gravity is a downward force caused by the gigantic mass of the Earth and the mass of the ball. Keep in mind that a force is acceleration. Acceleration is a change in velocity. The ball speeds up. Than it stops speeding up at a certain point where the frictional force (along with air friction) equals the parallel component of gravity.

Newton's Second Law States- The greater mass of an object, the more force it will take to accelerate the object.

A 60-W light bulb radiates electromagnetic waves uniformly in all directions. At a distance of 1.0 m from the bulb, the light in

krek1111 [17]

1. If we increase the distance to twice it's original value, the light intensity is reduced by one-fourth, the light intensity would be:
I0/4

2. rms magnetic field is inversely proportional to distance, so the new rms magnetic field would be:
B0/2

3. average energy density is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, so the new average energy density is:
E0/4
