Answer:

ALMA is a trans-formative radio telescope that can study cosmic light that straddles the boundary between radio and infrared. Most objects in the Universe emit this kind of energy, so the ability to detect it has been a driver for astronomers for decades.

Star A and Star B have measured stellar parallax of 1.0 arc second and 0.75 arc second, respectively. Which star is closer? How

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Star A is closer than Star B

Explanation:

As we know that in parallax method of distance measurement the angle subtended by the star when it covers a distance of one Parsec arc length, it is known as parallax angle

Here we can say

$angle = \frac{1 Parsec}{distance}$

so we have

$distance = \frac{1 Parsec}{angle}$

so here we have

angle subtended by Star A = 1 arc sec

angle subtended by star B = 0.75 arc sec

now we have

distance for star A is given as

$d_a = \frac{1 Parsec}{1} = 1 Parsec$

distance of star B is given as

$d_b = \frac{1 Parsec}{0.75} = 1.33 Parsec$

So star A is closer than star B

If a sample of an unknown material with a mass of 0.68 g and a volume of 0.8 cm3 is dropped

Anna71 [15]

As the density of the unknown substance is 0.68g/0.8ml = 0.85g/ml, it is less dense than the maple syrup at 1.33g/ml and will float.

Two speakers emit the same sound wave, identical frequency, wavelength, and amplitude. What other quantity would be necessary to

Komok [63]

Answer:

Phase Difference

Explanation:

When the sound waves have same wavelength, frequency and amplitude we just need the phase difference between them at a particular location to determine whether the waves are in constructive interference or destructive interference.

Interference is a phenomenon in which there is superposition of two coherent waves at a particular location in the medium of propagation.

When the waves are in constructive interference then we get a resultant wave of maximum amplitude and vice-versa in case of destructive interference.

For constructive interference the waves must have either no phase difference or a phase difference of nλ, where n is any natural number.

For destructive interference the waves must have a phase difference of n×0.5λ, where n is any odd number.

This is a velocity versus time graph of a car starting from rest. If the area under the line is 10 meters, what is the correspon

adelina 88 [10]

So the area under a velocity time graph is distance or displacement, if you have done calculus yet you will understand that if you take the integral of a velocity function then you end up with displacement. Thats for later understanding however.

So this appears to be a right triangle so we can find the area of a triangle as:

0.5bh = A

Since our area is 10 meters lets alter our formula a bit to fit the situation:

Our base here is time and our height is velocity so:

0.5tv = Δx

So we can read off the graph that our velocity at the end, or our final velocity appears to be near 2.0 m/s

So we have v, and Δx so lets isolate for time by dividing by v and 0.5

t = Δx / 0.5v

Now lets plug all that in:

t = 10 / 0.5(2)

t = 10 seconds

Hope this helped!
