The sun can continue to exist in its present stable state for about another

Answer:

5 billion years

Explanation:

A star like the Sun is called a main sequence star. It is considered as young age star. Sun is a medium sized star and its mass determines how long it can continue in its present form.

Its heat and light are a result of the thermonuclear fusion reactions that occur in its core. The proton cycle and carbon cycle are responsible for  generating the immense energy which is released in the form of heat and light. The amount of nuclear fuel ( hydrogen helium) present in the sun indicate that it can continue glowing at this state for another 5 or 5.5 billion years more. Sun formed abut 4.6 or 5 billion years ago, as shown from the calculations.

A certain parallel-plate capacitor is filled with a dielectric for which Κ = 5.5 .The area of each plate is 0.034 m2 , and the p
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The maximum energy that can be stored in the capacitor is  6.62 x 10⁻⁵ J

Explanation:

Given that,

dielectric constant k = 5.5

the area of each plate, A = 0.034 m²

separating distance, d =  2.0 mm = 2 x 10⁻³ m

magnitude of the electric field =  200 kN/C

Capacitance of the capacitor is calculated as follows;

C = \frac{k \epsilon A}{d} = \frac{5.5*8.85*10^{-12}*0.034}{2*10^{-3}} = 8.275 *10^{-10} \ F

Maximum potential difference:

V = E x d

V = 200000 x 2 x 10⁻³ = 400 V

Maximum energy that can be stored in the capacitor:

E = ¹/₂CV²

E = ¹/₂ x 8.275 x 10⁻¹⁰ x (400)²

E = 6.62 x 10⁻⁵ J

Therefore, the maximum energy that can be stored in the capacitor is  6.62 x 10⁻⁵ J

Using Rayleigh's criterion, calculate the diameter of an earth-based telescope that gives this resolution with 700 nm light.
pogonyaev

Complete Question

Due to blurring caused by atmospheric distortion, the best resolution that can be obtained by a normal, earth-based, visible-light telescope is about 0.3 arcsecond (there are 60 arcminutes in a degree and 60 arcseconds in an arcminute).Using Rayleigh's criterion, calculate the diameter of an earth-based telescope that gives this resolution with 700 nm light

Answer:

The diameter is  D = 0.59 \  m    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The best resolution is  \theta  =  0.3 \  arcsecond

       The  wavelength is  \lambda  =  700 \  nm =  700 *10^{-9 } \  m

       

Generally the

         1 arcminute  = >  60 arcseconds

=>      x arcminute =>   0.3 arcsecond

So

       x =  \frac{0.3}{60 }

=>    x = 0.005 \  arcminutes

Now

         60 arcminutes  =>  1 degree

          0.005 arcminutes = >  z degrees  

=>       z =  \frac{0.005}{60 }

=>      z =  8.333 *10^{-5}  \ degree

Converting to radian  

           \theta  = z =  8.333 *10^{-5}  * 0.01745 = 1.454 *10^{-6} \  radian

Generally the resolution is mathematically represented as

            \theta  =  \frac{1.22 *  \lambda  }{ D}

=>    D =  \frac{1.22 * \lambda }{\theta }

=>     D =  \frac{1.22 * 700 *10^{-9} }{ 1.454 *10^{-6} }    

=>     D = 0.59 \  m

Which sentence in the passage can be used to conclude that Eris is a dwarf planet and not a planet?
Lelu [443]
Eris is slightly more massive than Pluto. However, both of them are smaller than Earth's Moon.
This should conclude that Eris is a dwarf planet.

The Earth's place in space can be described as _________.
Olin [163]
The answer is B because if you use process of elimination, you find that A is invalid because Venus is the second planet. C is out because Mars is the 4th planet. D is out because we are nowhere  near the Andromeda Galaxy. We are millions of light years away.

What wave on the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest frequency?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer: Gamma rays

Gamma rays have the highest frequency.

What is an electromagnetic wave?

An electromagnetic wave requires no medium for its propagation.

It consists of a spectrum of different wavelengths.

Different wavelengths of rays have different energies and different frequencies.

Higher frequency rays have the highest energies.

What is gamma-ray?

These are ionized radiations.

Gamma radiations are obtained from the decay of the atomic nucleus.

It has the highest frequency which is why it can penetrate through matter.

It has the smallest wavelength and highest energy.

The frequency of gamma rays is more than 10^19 cycles per second and wavelength less than 100 picometers.
