Observations of the Crab Nebula taken over several decades show that gas blobs that are now 100 arcseconds from the center of th

e nebula are moving away from the center by about 0.11 arcsecond per year. Use that information to estimate the year in which the explosion ought to have been observed.

Answer:

Estimation: year 1110.

Explanation:

We need to know how much time it takes to move 100 arcseconds if it moves at 0.11 arcsecond per year. Similarly to any velocity equation v=\frac{d}{t}, where in our case the distances are angular, we will obtain the time by doing:

t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{100arc}{0.11arc/year}=909 years

Which, considering from 2019, the explosion ought to have been observed around 1110 (in reality it was observed by Chinese astronomers in 1054).

Does the sun sun traces shortest path across local sky on june solstice
viktelen [127]
The June solstice in the Northern hemisphere is the summer solstice. The June Solstice in the Southern hemisphere is the winter solstice. The summer solstice is equivalent to the longest day while the winter solstice is equivalent to the shortest day. Therefore on the local sky, when is the June solstice we have have the longest day (longest path of sun in the sky) in the Northern hemisphere and the shortest day (shortest path of sun in the sky) in the Southern hemisphere.

A 1.2 kg hammer slams down on a nail at 5.0 m/s and bounces off at 1.0 m/s. If the impact lasts 1.0 ms, what average force is ex
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse results in a change of momentum

FΔt = mΔV

F = mΔV/Δt

The impulse acting on the hammer will equal the impulse acting on the nail

If we assume upward is the positive direction

F = m(vf - vi)/t

F = 1.2(1.0 - (-1.5)) / 0.001

F = 3000 N

| A 1.0 kg stone is dropped from a bridge 100 m above a canyon. What will be the kinetic energy of the stone after it
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Option D

490 J

Explanation:

When at a height of 100 am above and released, the ball initially posses only potential energy. When it falls, some potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Initial potential energy= mgh where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is height. Substituting 1 Kg for m, 9.81 for g and 100 m for h then

PE initial = 1*9.81*100= 981 J

At 50 m, PE will be 1*9.81*50=490.5 J

Subtracting PE at 50 m from initial PE we get the energy that has been converted to kinetic energy hence

981-490.5= 490.5 J

Approximately, 490 J
