What is the definition of zenith, altitude, horizon, circompolar stars, astrolabe, and doppler effect in astronomy?

Physics

Nikitich [7]3 years ago
3 0

zenith- the point in the sky or celestial sphere directly above an observer

altitude- the apparent height of a celestial object above the horizon, measured as an angle

horizon- a great circle of the celestial sphere, the plane of which passes through the center of the earth and is parallel to that of the apparent horizon of a place.

circompolar stars- (of a star or motion) above the horizon at all times in a given latitude.

astrolabe-  One of the fundamental calculations in astrology is the position of the sun relative to the signs of the zodiac. The path of the sun as seen from Earth is called the ecliptic and the astrolabe calculates the position of the sun on this path.

doppler effect- The Doppler effect is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source. It is named after the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler, who described the phenomenon in 1842.

A flat coil having 160 turns, each with an area of 0.20 m 2, is placed with the plane of its area perpendicular to a magnetic fi
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

10.2 Watt

Explanation:

N  = number of turns in flat coil = 160

A  = area = 0.20 m²

B₀= initial magnetic field = 0.40 T

B  = final magnetic field = - 0.40 T

Change in magnetic field is given as

ΔB = B - B₀ = - 0.40 - 0.40 = - 0.80 T

t  = time taken for the magnetic field to change = 2.0 s

Induced emf is given as

E = \frac{- N A \Delta B}{t}

E = \frac{- (160) (0.20) (- 0.80)}{2}

E = 12.8 volts

R = Resistance of the coil = 16 Ω

Power is given as

P = \frac{E^{2}}{R}

P = \frac{(12.8)^{2}}{16}

P = 10.2 Watt

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp
slavikrds [6]

Answer: A.

As a diver rises, the pressure on their body decreases which allows the volume of the gas to decrease.

Explanation:

The problem is that a diver, experiences an increased pressure of water compresses nitrogen and more of it dissolves into the body. Just as there is a natural nitrogen saturation point at the surface, there are saturation points under water. Those depend on the depth, the type of body tissue involved, and also how long a diver is exposed to the extra pressure. The deeper a diver go, the more nitrogen the body absorbs.

The problem is getting rid of the nitrogen once you ascend again. As the pressure diminishes, nitrogen starts dissolving out of the tissues of the diver's body, a process called "off-gassing." That results in tiny nitrogen bubbles that then get carried to the lungs and breathed out. However, if there is too much nitrogen and/or it is released too quickly, small bubbles can combine to form larger bubbles, and those can do damage to the body, anything from minor discomforts all the way to major problems and even death.

What has a larger capacitance, an aluminum sphere with a 10 cm diameter or one with a 100 cm diameter? Question 16 options: 10 c
creativ13 [48]

\boxed{\sf C=\dfrac{Q}{V}}

But

\boxed{\sf \Delta V_{R_2\to R_1}={\displaystyle{\int}^{R_1}_{R_2}}dV=-{\displaystyle{\int}^{R_1}_{R_2}}\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}dR}

  • Hence higher the radius lower the voltage
  • Lower the voltage higher the capacitance .
