Everything we know about stars comes from studying their radiation/light. By measuring the wavelength or frequency of light coming from objects in the universe, we can learn something about their nature.  Starts emit a range of wavelengths. The frequency of light is directly related to its color, so it follows that stars have different colors because they have different peak wavelengths of light.

Light / Radiation. The light radiation defines its color. Thermal radiation for its temperature and the overall appearance of the wavelengths the star emits gives off the info from where astronomers and scientist are able to build up knowledge on the age and current state of the stars

mote1985 [20]

Answer: D

Height of marble from ground

Explanation:

From the formula of kinetic energy and potential energy,

K.E = 1/2mv^2

While

P.E = mgh

From all the parameters given from the question. You can see that mass is constant, acceleration due to gravity is also constant.

Independent variable must be a value that can varies.

Since Jack rolled a marble down a ramp and recorded the potential energy and kinetic energy of the marble at different positions on the ramp to see the effects on both energies.

This different position must be the height which will produce an effect on the potential and kinetic energy of the marble.

Independent variable always provides an effect for dependent variable. Which are kinetic energy and potential energy in this case.

Height of marble from ground is the right answer.

Why is it not possible to achieve a higher resolution in the light microscope?.
Rudiy27

Higher resolution cannot be achieved with a light microscope because wavelength of light is larger that wavelength of electrons.

<h3>What is light microscope?</h3>

Light microscope is defined as the type of microscope that makes use of visible light to magnify objects into images that can be observed.

The wavelength of light is larger than that of the electrons, therefore, higher resolution cannot be achieved with a light microscope.

In the figure, particle A moves along the line y = 31 m with a constant velocity v with arrow of magnitude 2.8 m/s and parallel
insens350 [35]

Answer:

59.26°

Explanation:

Since a is the acceleration of the particle B, the horizontal component of acceleration is a" = asinθ and the vertical component is a' = acosθ where θ angle between a with arrow and the positive direction of the y axis.

Now, for particle B to collide with particle A, it must move vertically the distance between A and B which is y = 31 m in time, t.

Using y = ut + 1/2a't² where u = initial velocity of particle B = 0 m/s, t = time taken for collision, a' = vertical component of particle B's acceleration =  acosθ.

So, y = ut + 1/2a't²

y = 0 × t + 1/2(acosθ)t²

y = 0 + 1/2(acosθ)t²

y = 1/2(acosθ)t²   (1)

Also, both particles must move the same horizontal distance to collide in time, t.

Let x be the horizontal distance,

x = vt (2)where v = velocity of particle A = 2.8 m/s and t = time for collision

Also,  using x = ut + 1/2a"t² where u = initial velocity of particle B = 0 m/s, t = time taken for collision, a" = horizontal component of particle B's acceleration =  asinθ.

So, x = ut + 1/2a"t²

x = 0 × t + 1/2(ainsθ)t²

x = 0 + 1/2(asinθ)t²

x = 1/2(asinθ)t²  (3)

Equating (2) and (3), we have

vt = 1/2(asinθ)t²   (4)

From (1) t = √[2y/(acosθ)]

Substituting t into (4), we have

v√[2y/(acosθ)] = 1/2(asinθ)(√[2y/(acosθ)])²  

v√[2y/(acosθ)] = 1/2(asinθ)(2y/(acosθ)  

v√[2y/(acosθ)] = ytanθ

√[2y/(acosθ)] = ytanθ/v

squaring both sides, we have

(√[2y/(acosθ)])² = (ytanθ/v)²

2y/acosθ = (ytanθ/v)²

2y/acosθ = y²tan²θ/v²

2/acosθ = ytan²θ/v²

1/cosθ = aytan²θ/2v²

Since 1/cosθ = secθ = √(1 + tan²θ) ⇒ sec²θ = 1 + tan²θ ⇒ tan²θ = sec²θ - 1

secθ = ay(sec²θ - 1)/2v²

2v²secθ = aysec²θ - ay

aysec²θ - 2v²secθ - ay = 0

Let secθ = p

ayp² - 2v²p - ay = 0

Substituting the values of a = 0.35 m/s, y = 31 m and v = 2.8 m/s into the equation, we have

ayp² - 2v²p - ay = 0

0.35 × 31p² - 2 × 2.8²p - 0.35 × 31 = 0

10.85p² - 15.68p - 10.85 = 0

dividing through by 10.85, we have

p² - 1.445p - 1 = 0

Using the quadratic formula to find p,

p = \frac{-(-1.445) +/- \sqrt{(-1.445)^{2} - 4 X 1 X (-1)}}{2 X 1} \\p = \frac{1.445 +/- \sqrt{2.088 + 4}}{2} \\p = \frac{1.445 +/- \sqrt{6.088}}{2} \\p = \frac{1.445 +/- 2.4675}{2} \\p = \frac{1.445 + 2.4675}{2} or p = \frac{1.445 - 2.4675}{2} \\p = \frac{3.9125}{2} or p = \frac{-1.0225}{2} \\p = 1.95625 or -0.51125

Since p = secθ

secθ = 1.95625 or secθ = -0.51125

cosθ = 1/1.95625 or cosθ = 1/-0.51125

cosθ = 0.5112 or cosθ = -1.9956

Since -1 ≤ cosθ ≤ 1 we ignore the second value since it is less than -1.

So, cosθ = 0.5112

θ = cos⁻¹(0.5112)

θ = 59.26°

So, the angle between a with arrow and the positive direction of the y axis would result in a collision is 59.26°.

why does electrical process signals often take the form of a current instead of voltage? two specific reasons for this.
wolverine [178]

voltage signals drop over distance due to resistance while current remains the same.

also the building blk of electronic device is a transistor n transistor is turned on/off by current; so dats the signal instead of voltage.
