The dean of a university located near the ocean (who was not a science major in college) proposes building an infrared telescope

right on campus and operating it in a nice heated dome so that astronomers will be comfortable on cold winter nights. Criticize this proposal, giving your reasoning.

Ad libitum [116K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The proposal is bad and has many mistakes in itself.

Explanation:

-Telescopes are preferably to be placed far from cities, ideally a remote place on a mountain or raised land. It should not be erected at sea level.

-It should not be erected at sea level. High humidity present at sea level clouds observations made as infrared observations are not possible at sea level.

-Dome should not be heated at all. Strong air currents are generated during heating which inturn ruins observations. Also, a heated dome will emit infrared radiation which ultimately swamps astronomical signals.

Ivan drove to the mountains last weekend. There was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 7 hours. When Ivan drove h
lesya692 [45]

Answer:252 miles

Explanation:

Given

During his way to mountain it took 7 hr to drive

and during his return trip it took 4 hr to return

Let x be the distance between home and mountain

average speed for return is  27 miles per hour faster than his former trip

let v be the speed on his way to mountain thus v+27 is his return speed

thus 7=\frac{x}{v}----1

for return trip

4=\frac{x}{v+27}-----2

divide  1 & 2

\frac{7}{4}=\frac{x\cdot (v+27)}{v\cdot x}

7v=4v+4\cdot 27

3v=4\cdot 27

v=36 mph

thus x=7\times 36=252\ miles

Pls help me l will make it brainlest ​
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

<u>0.04 °C⁻¹</u>

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate linear expansivity, then after finding that value, we can move on to finding the area expansivity.

<u />

=============================================================

Finding Linear Expansivity :

⇒ α = Final length - Original length / (Original length × ΔT)

⇒ α = 9 - 4 / (4 × 70 - 20)

⇒ α = 5 / 5 × 50

⇒ α = <u>0.02</u>

============================================================

Finding Area Expansivity :

⇒ Area Expansivity = 2 × Linear Expansivity

⇒ β = 2 × α

⇒ β = 2 × 0.02

⇒ β = <u>0.04 °C⁻¹</u>

Ali mixes 20g of Sodium Chloride in 100g of water at 15 Degree °C. Calculate the mass of the solution
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The mass of the solution is 120 g.

Explanation:

The mass of the solution is given by:

m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2}

Where:

m_{sol}: is the mass of the solution

m_{1}: is the mass of the solvent

m_{2}: is the mass of the solute

In the solution, the solvent is the majority compound (in mass) and the solute is the minority (in mass), so the solvent is the water and the solute is sodium chloride.          

Hence, the mass of the solution is:

m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2} = 100 g + 20 g = 120 g  

I hope it helps you!
