Answer:

c) The distance between the balls increases.

Explanation:

If you drop the balls at the same time, regardless of their masses they accelerate equally, since they will be in free fall.

However, if you drop one of the balls earlier, then that ball will gain velocity, whereas the second ball has zero initial velocity. At the time the second ball is dropped, both balls have the same acceleration but different initial velocities.

According to the below kinematics equation:

x = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

The initial velocity of the first ball will make the difference, and the first ball will travel a greater distance than the second ball. Hence, their distance increases.

According to x-ray observations, the space between galaxies in a galaxy cluster is?
crimeas [40]

According to x-ray observations, the space between galaxies in a galaxy cluster is very hot. It is because the matter between galaxies (often called the intergalactic medium) is mostly hot, ionized hydrogen with bits of heavier elements such as carbon, oxygen and silicon thrown in.

Massive structures are collapsing than at earlier times. Large collapsing structures lead to higher velocity intergalactic shocks and, as a result, significant intergalactic shock heating, with some gas heated well above the 10^{4} K temperatures.

Heating also occurs as galaxies expel out most of the gas that fell into them. The final product is a warm/hot phase, with temperatures of > 10^{5} K.

Now, Let's know how do you use X-rays to make space observations?

X-radiation is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, so instruments to detect X-rays must be taken to high altitude by balloons, sounding rockets, and satellites.

A spherically-spreading EM wave comes from a 104.0 W source. At a distance of 9.6 m, what is the intensity of the wave?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Approximately 0.0898 W/m².

Explanation:

The intensity of light measures the power that the light delivers per unit area.

The source in this question delivers a constant power of \rm 104.0\; W. If the source here is a point source, that \rm 104.0\; W of power will be spread out evenly over a spherical surface that is centered at the point source. In this case, the radius of the surface will be 9.6 meters.

The surface area of a sphere of radius r is equal to 4\pi r^{2}. For the imaginary 9.6-meter sphere here, the surface area will be:

\rm 4\pi \times (9.6\; m)^{2} \approx 1158.12\; m^{2}.

That \rm 104.0\; W power is spread out evenly over this 9.6-meter sphere. The power delivered per unit area will be:

\displaystyle\rm  \frac{104.0\; W}{1158.12\; m^{2}}\approx 0.0898\; W\cdot m^{-2}.

A 2-lb slider is propelled upward at A along the fixed curved bar which lies in a vertical plane. If the slider is observed to h
timofeeve [1]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given in the balance of forces for the tangential force and the centripetal force. An easy way to detail this problem is through a free body diagram that describes the behavior of the body and the forces to which it is subject.

PART A) Normal Force.

F_n = \frac{mv^2}{r}

N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Here,

Normal reaction of the ring is N and velocity of the ring is v

N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}

N+Wcos\theta = \frac{W}{g} (\frac{v^2}{r})

N+2cos30\° = \frac{2}{32.2}*\frac{10^2}{2}

N = 1.374lb

PART B) Acceleration

F_t = ma_t

-mgsin\theta = ma_t

-W sin\theta = \frac{W}{g} a_t

-2Sin30\° = (\frac{2}{32.2})a_t

a_T = -16.10ft/s^2

Negative symbol indicates deceleration.

<em>NOTE: For the problem, the graph in which the turning radius and the angle of suspension was specified was not supplied. A graphic that matches the description given by the problem is attached.</em>

A student is wearing a pair of sunglasses designed to reduce the glare from reflected surfaces. When the student tilts her head
agasfer [191]
The answer is polarization. It is just like when you are on a boat and use polarized glasses so the water wont reflect into your eyes it also intensifies the color of the water so you can see better into the water.
example: you cant see any fish because glare from the sun, put on polarized glasses and now you can see fish up to 30 feet deep.
