Strength: able to detect planets in a wide range of orbits, as long as orbits aren't face on
Limitations: yield only planet's mass and orbital properties
Answer:
The trouble that the most recent experiment, Borexino, have to overcome was that
neutrinos hardly interact with matter and so radioactive decay of ant material inside the detector could look exactly like a neutrino interaction too
Answer:
Efficiency = 10.2 %
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 70 kg
Height = 50 m
Velocity = 10 m/s
We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s².
To find the efficiency of energy conversion from potential to kinetic;
First of all, we would determine the potential energy;
P.E = mgh
P.E = 70 * 9.8 * 50
P.E = 34300 J
For the kinetic energy;
K.E = ½mv²
K.E = ½ * 70 * 10²
K.E = 35 * 100
K.E = 3500
Therefore, Input energy, I = 34300 J
Output energy, O = 3500 J
Next, we find the efficiency;
Efficiency = O/I * 100
Substituting into the formula, we have;
Efficiency = 3500/34300 * 100
Efficiency = 0.1020 * 100
Efficiency = 10.2 %
Answer: 1.12 m
Explanation:
This situation is related to parabolic motion, hence we can use the following equations:
(1)
(2)
Where:
is the ball final height (when it hits the ground)
is the ball initial height
is the initial velocity
is the angle at which the ball was launched
is the time
is the acceleration due gravity
is the horizontal distance the ball travels
Rewriting (1) with the given values:
(3)
Multiplying all the eqquation by -1 and rearranging:
(4)
So, since we have a quadratic equation here (in the form of
, we will use the quadratic formula to find
:
(5)
Where
,
,
Substituting the known values and choosing the positive result of the equation, we have:
(6)
Now, substituting (6) in (2):
(7)
(8) This is the horizontal distance at which the ball hits the ground.
Answer:
an open circuit (A battery, bulb, wire,switch)
Explanation:
the battery supplies the power the wire carries the current from the battery to the bulb but the circuit is not completed if the switch is not connected (Switch )
