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?
Physics
1 answer:
Goshia [24]3 years ago
8 0

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.

A pail in a water well is hoisted by means of a frictionless winch, which consists of a spool and a hand crank. When Jill turns
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

182.28 W

Explanation:

Here ,

m = 7.30 Kg

distance , d= 28.0 m

time , t = 11.0 s

average power supplied = change in potential energy/time

average power supplied = m×g×d/time

average power supplied = 7.30×9.81×28/11

average power supplied = 182.28 W

the average power supplied is  182.28 W

Describe a situation in your everyday life where you could use the scientific method. List all the steps of the scientific metho
emmainna [20.7K]

Yes, scientific method can be applied on many everyday activities to get a reasonable solution. Infact normally we are applying this method without having it in our knowledge that we are applying it.

For example: In morning we are going to office and we start the car, but it is not started.You turn the engine again and again but it simply donot works.

Observation (the state of defining a problem):

The car is not started

Hypothesis (A possible solution based on the information we already know):

The car is not started because it might be out of gas or there can be some other technical fault.  

Experiment (testing of hypothesis by applying different methods of solving problem):

You get the fuel and put it inside the car but it still donot works and car didnot start. Experiment didnot get solution.

Analyze the results of data and test another hypothesis

You call a technician and he check with the car engine tries and finds out that the engine was out of order and needs repairing.

Draw conclusion:

The engine do not works when it is out of order and it is a cause of a car not being started.

<em>Now the theory and law making part can not be applied on this case but it is a part of scientific method.</em>

Hope it helps!

Maggie is using her cat in an experiment on animal intelligence. Which of the following statements is true?
Kamila [148]

1. If Maggie gives her cat an unfair advantage, her experimental results will be biased.

Explanation:

Maggie using her cat in the experiment to test for intelligence gives the cat an unfair advantage, her experimental results will be biased.

  • Due to her emotional attachment with the cat, the experimental results will be skewed to portraying her cat as intelligence.
  • This is not a good experiment to carry out.
  • Such an experiment should be carried out with an unknown cat.

A motorcycle starts to move from rest. If the velocity of the motorcycle becomes 90 km/hr
bagirrra123 [75]

Explanation:

90 kmhr—1 x 1000/3600 = 25ms—1

U = 0 ms—1

V = 25ms—1

t = 10 s

a = ?

a = V - U/t

a = 25 - 0/10

a = 25/10

a = 2.5 ms—1
