Answer:

Part a) Big bang occurred about 13.8 billion years ago. This time is arrived after see the shift in the cosmic background radiation that fills the universe. The result of the big bang was the creation of universe itself. Everything we know space, matter, time was created by the event thus giving birth to the universe and stars, galaxies,e.t.c.

Part b) No string theory is currently not proven as of yet. The basic problem in formulating the theory of everything is to mix 2 completely different theories known as quantum theory of matter and theory of relativity. But this has not been achieved as of yet. There are different theories that try to explain the both quantum and relativistic nature of the matter and string theory is one of the theories that has been proposed to explain the same.The theory is not completely developed as of yet as there are numerous inconsistencies with it such as it proposes 34 dimension's of nature which have not been observed as yet.Also there is an inherent nature of the theory that it deals with quantities with $10^{34}m$ scales of length making it impossible to verify the theory which still is mathematically incomplete.

Part c) Strong Nuclear forces come into action in the nucleus of an atom and holds the nucleon's together. As we know that a pair of protons will repel due to nature of their charge the strong nuclear force holds them together.

Part d) Cosmology is the branch of astronomy that deals with the origin and evolution of the universe. It basically is the study about the universe was formed and how it evolved during different stages.

Please help <br>Newton second law of motion is F =ma <br>

mamaluj [8]

Answer: ma is the formula of Newton's Second Law of Motion. Newton's Second Law of Motion is defined as Force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.

Explanation: Newton's second law of motion is F = ma, or force is equal to mass times acceleration.

when a constant force acts upon an object the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. when a certain constant

solong [7]

Explanation:

When a constant force acts upon an object the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass.

$a\propto \dfrac{1}{m}$

$\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}$

If m₁ = 21 kg, a₁ = 3 m/s², m₂ = 9 kg

We need to find a₂

So,

$a_2=\dfrac{m_1a_1}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{21\times 3}{9}\\\\a_2=7\ m/s^2$

So, if mass is 9 kg, its acceleration is 7 m/s².

Chameleons catch insects with their tongues, which they can rapidly extend to great lengths. In a typical strike, the chameleon’

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

0.2 m

Explanation:

PHASE 1

First, we calculate the distance the tongue moved in the first 20 ms (0.02 secs). We use one of Newton's equations of linear motion:

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

where u = initial velocity = 0 m/s

a = acceleration = $250 m/s^2$

t = time = 0.02 s

Therefore:

$s = 0 + \frac{1}{2} * 250 * (0.02)^2\\\\\\s = 0.05 m$

PHASE 2

Then, for the next 30 ms (0.03 secs), we use the formula:

$distance = speed * time$

This speed is the same as the final velocity of the tongue after the first 20 ms.

This can be obtained by using the formula:

$v = u + at\\\\=> v = 0 + (250 * 0.02)\\\\\\v = 5 m/s$

Therefore:

distance = 5 * 0.03 = 0.15 m

Therefore, the total distance moved by the tongue in the 50 ms interval is:

0.05 + 0.15 = 0.2 m

Sound is an example of a ____ Wave.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Mechanical Waves

Explanation:Sound waves in air are longitudinal waves because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves. A vibrating string can create longitudinal waves.
