Answer:

The velocity of the fish hitting the ground is , v = 45.795 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the fish, m = 5 kg

The height of the bird from the surface, h = 107 m

Using the III equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2gs

Substituting the values,

v = √(0² + 2 x 9.8 x 107)

= 45.795 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the fish hitting the ground is, v = 45.795 m/s

How old is a bone if it still has 50% of its carbon-14 content?

Degger [83]

Answer:

5730 years

Explanation:

The half life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. If 50% of the carbon-14 remains, then exactly 1 half life has passed.

The half-life equation is:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

where A is the remaining amount,

A₀ is the initial amount,

t is time,

and T is the half life.

In this case, A = ½ A₀ and T = 5730.

½ A₀ = A₀ (½)^(t / 5730)

½ = (½)^(t / 5730)

1 = t / 5730

t = 5730

Galileo proved the superiority of the heliocentric theory over the geocentric theory, but given our knowledge of the universe to

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Galileo proved the superiority of the heliocentric theory over the geocentric theory . Heliocentric theory changed the centre of universe from the earth to the sun . According to this theory , the solar system or the universe revolves around the sun .

But the present knowledge of universe considers sun as one of billions of stars present in the universe , with each star behaving as sun with its own solar system . The universe is made of cluster of stars with each cluster having their own centre around with they revolve . These clusters are called galaxy . Sun is a part of cluster called milky way . Sun along with other star of this galaxy revolves around the centre of its galaxy which is a super massive star .

Hence the old heliocentric theory does not fit into the present framework of universe by the scientist.

Star a has an absolute magnitude of 8. what is its apparent magnitude at a distance of 100 pc

tresset_1 [31]

From the definition of apparent magnitude, we know that:
$m_{1} - m_{2} = -2.5Log( \frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}} )$
where:
m = apparent magnitude
F = corresponding flux

We also know that the flux is given by the formula:
$F = \frac{L}{4 \pi d^{2} }$
where:
L = luminosity
d = distance

Therefore:
$\frac{F_{1} }{F_{2}} = (\frac{L_{1} }{4 \pi d_{1}^{2} })(\frac{4 \pi d_{2}^{2} }{L_{2} }) \\ = \frac{L_{1}d_{2}^{2}}{L_{2}d_{1}^{2}}$

Now, let's apply these formulae to the same star (therefore, same luminosity), using apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude (which is defined as the apparent magnitude the star would have if it were at a distance of 10pc):
$m - M = 2.5 Log ( \frac{d}{10pc})^{2}$

Now, let's solve for m:
$m = M + 2.5 Log ( \frac{d}{10})^{2}$
= <span> $8 + 2.5 Log ( \frac{100}{10})^{2}$ </span>
= 13

Hence, the apparent magnitude of the star would be m = +13
