The expansion of the universe has also been compared to the inflation of a balloon. Suppose that before you inflate the balloon,

you draw dots on the surface of the balloon to represent different galaxies. After inflating the balloon, what observation would you expect to make?

Answer:

That the universe (the balloon for this case) is expanding and that is the reason why the galaxies (the dots) appear to move away one from another.

Explanation:

By means of looking at the spectra of galaxies, it can confirm that they are moving away in an accelerated motion.  

Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when it is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect). The source in this particular case is represented for each of the galaxies.      

                           

Hence, the redshift represents this shift of the spectral lines to red part in the spectrum of a galaxy or any object which is moving away. That is a direct confirmation of how the universe is in an expanding accelerated motion.

The redshift can be define in analitic way by trought the doppler velocity:

v = c\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda_{0}}  (1)      

Where \Delta \lambda is the wavelength shift, \lambda_{0} is the wavelength at rest, v is the velocity of the source and c is the speed of light.

v = c(\frac{\lambda_{measured}-\lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}})

\frac{v}{c} = \frac{\lambda_{measured}-\lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}}  

z = \frac{\lambda_{measured}-\lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}} (2)

Where z is the redshift.      

                                           

The ballon example, once that it is inflating, represents how is the universe which it is expanding and that is the reason why the galaxies (the dots) appear to move away one from another.

According to the diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum shown, what would best represent the
iren2701 [21]

The  best represent the size of visible light will be C. Protozoa

The electromagnetic spectrum, gives the overall distribution of electromagnetic radiation by the  frequency or wavelength. All EM waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, but over a wide range of frequencies, wavelengths, and photon energies.

Visible light wavelengths cover the range of approximately 0.4 to 0.7 μm. electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can see is the Visible light. Visible light is a form of electromagnetic (EM) radiation, along with radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and microwaves. the wavelengths that are visible to most human eyes is generally known as Visible light

the best represent the size of visible light is Protozoa, According to the diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum shown,

Which trophic level has the least available energy in kilojoules in this food web?
insens350 [35]

The highest trophic level has the least available energy in kilojoules.

Even though the food web is not shown in the question, but we know that energy decreases steadily as it is passed on from one trophic level to the next according to the second law of thermodynamics.

Energy enters into the system from the sun. The primary producers utilize this energy to produce food. As plants are eaten by animals, this energy is transferred along the food web an diminishes at each higher trophic level.

At the highest trophic level, the the least available energy in kilojoules in this food web is found.

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

a)    L = 3.29 10⁻⁴ H,  b)U = 5.33 10⁻²  J

Explanation:

a) The inductance is a solenoid this given carrier

           L = \frac{N \ \phi_B }{I}

The magnetic field inside the solenoid is

          B = μ₀ \frac{N}{l}  i

hence the magnetic flux

          Ф_B = B. A = μ₀ \frac{N \ A}{l \ i}

we substitute in the expression of inductance

          L = N² μ₀ A /l

let's find the area of ​​each turn

          A = π r²

         A = π 0.02²

         A = 1.2566 10⁻³ m²

let's calculate

          L = 250² 4π 10⁻⁷ 1.2566 10⁻² / 0.3

          L = 3.29 10⁻⁴ H

b) The stored energy is

           U = ½ L i²

let's calculate

            U = ½ 3.29 10⁻⁴ 18²

            U = 5.33 10⁻²  J
