Light does bend in a gravitational field. Why is this bending not taken into consideration by surveyors who use laser beams as s

traight lines?

Goshia [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Because the effect is not big enough to be noticeable.

Explanation:

The light is bent by gravitational fields, but the bend is not that big unless we are talking about objects with a massive amount of mass. To be noticed the bent, you need to stay far away from the object that causes the blend and the object also needs to be far away from the source of the light. For example, you can observe the blend in the light of a far-away star when the light travels close to the sun to reach earth, and the deflection will be around 1.75 arc-seconds. The deflection occurs also with light beams on the earth but the effect is too small to be taken into consideration.

car 1 is traveling south at 18 m/s and has a full load, giving it a total mass of 14,650 kg. Car 2 is traveling north at 11 m/s
kvasek [131]

Answer:

v_{4}= 80.92[m/s] (Heading south)

Explanation:

In order to calculate this problem, we must use the linear moment conservation principle, which tells us that the linear moment is conserved before and after the collision. In this way, we can propose an equation for the solution of the unknown.

ΣPbefore = ΣPafter

where:

P = linear momentum [kg*m/s]

Let's take the southward movement as negative and the northward movement as positive.

-(m_{1}*v_{1})+(m_{2}*v_{2})=-(m_{1}*v_{3})+(m_{2}*v_{4})

where:

m₁ = mass of car 1 = 14650 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of car 1 = 18 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of car 2 = 3825 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of car 2 = 11 [m/s]

v₃ = velocity of car 1 after the collison = 6 [m/s]

v₄ = velocity of car 2 after the collision [m/s]

-(14650*18)+(3825*11)=(14650*6)-(3825*v_{4})\\v_{4}=80.92[m/s]

Why are plants generally green?
e-lub [12.9K]

The correct answer is option D, "The pigment chlorophyll reflects green light waves"

The chloroplast with in the plants consists of chlorophyll (green colour pigment) which is highly absorbent to the long and short wavelengths such as red and blue wavelength of visible spectrum and reflects green wavelengths thereby producing green colour visualizations to the viewer. The two common chlorophyll usually found in the leaves are chlorophyll A and B. Chlorophyll A is majorly responsible for reflecting the green light

Calculate the pressure when a force of 200N acts on an area of 0.05cm2<br> .
deff fn [24]

FORCE ACTING ON THE BODY , F = 200N

AREA ON WHICH THE FORCE IS ACTING , A = 0.05 CM²

= 0.05*(10⁻²)

= 0.05*10⁻² M²

TO CONVERT CM TO M * BY 10⁻²

PRESSURE = FORCE / AREA

PRESSURE = 200/0.05*10⁻⁴

= 200*10⁴/0.05

= 200*10⁴*10²/5

= 20*10⁵/5

= 4*10⁵ N/M².

HOPE THIS HELPS.
