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?

Alona [7]3 years ago

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.

A 2.0 µF capacitor is charged through a 50,000 ohm resistor. How long does it take for the capacitor to reach 90% of full charge
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

0.23 s

Explanation:

First of all, let's find the time constant of the circuit:

\tau=RC

where

R=50,000 \Omega is the resistance

C=2.0\mu F=2.0\cdot 10^{-6}F is the capacitance

Substituting,

\tau=(50,000 \Omega)(2.0\cdot 10^{-6}F)=0.1 s

The charge on a charging capacitor is given by

Q(t)=Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau} ) (1)

where

Q_0 is the full charge

we want to find the time t at which the capacitor reaches 90% of the full charge, so the time t at which

Q(t)=0.90 Q_0

Substituting this into eq.(1) we find

0.90 Q_0 = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})\\0.90=1-e^{-t/\tau}\\e^{-t/\tau}=1-0.90=0.10\\-\frac{t}{\tau}=ln(0.10)\\t=-\tau ln(0.10)=(0.1 s)ln(0.10)=0.23 s

The pressure exerted by a gas is 2.0 atm while it has a volume of 350 mL. What would be the volume of this sample of gas at stan
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

volume is 700 mL

Explanation:

pressure = 2 atm

volume = 350 mL = 0.350 L

to find out

volume

solution

we will apply here equation that is

P1×V1 = P2×V2   ..............1

here P1 = 2 and V1 = 0.350 and P2 = 1 for standard atmospheric pressure

so put all value here  in equation 1 and get V2 volume

2 × 0.350 = 1 × V2

V2 = 0.700 L

V2 = 700 mL

so volume is 700 mL

Elena L [17]

Answer:

A = 2 m from fulcrum

Explanation:

Product of anti clockwise  = Product of  clockwise moment

5 × 4 = 10 × A

20 = 10 x A

A = 20 / 10

A = 2 m from fulcrum
