What is 1 major discovery in cosmology that relies on improvement in existing apparatus?

1 answer:

3 0

The most dramatic astronomical development of the century thus far is the detection of gravitational waves from merging black holes at a distance of 400 Mpc, during the first science run of the advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory.

The telescope was also very important. Galileo Galilei was the first person to use a telescope to look at celestial bodies (though he did not invent the telescope) and discovered the four brightest moons of Jupiter, proving that there are things in the Solar System that don't revolve around the Sun.

Physical cosmology is the branch of physics and astrophysics that deals with the study of the physical origins and evolution of the Universe. It also includes the study of the nature of the Universe on a large scale. In its earliest form, it was what is now known as "celestial mechanics", the study of the heavens.

Hope this helps you :)

Which of the following is a source of dissolved substances in the ocean?

kari74 [83]

The best answer among the choices given is option A. Chemical weathering of rocks is a source of dissolved substances in the ocean. It is a process that involves the erosion of rocks due to chemical reactions by water and substances dissolved in the water. Therefore, it most likely the source of dissolved substances.

A particle with a charge of 9.40 nC is in a uniform electric field directed to the left. Another force, in addition to the elect

juin [17]

Answer:

a. Work done by the electric force = -2.85 * ×10⁻⁵ J

b. The potential of the starting point with respect to the end point = -3.03 * 10³ V

c. The magnitude of the electric field is 33.7kV/m

Explanation:

Given.

Charge = Q = 9.40 nC

Distance = d = 9.00 cm = 0.09m

Amount of work = 7.10×10⁻⁵ J

Kinetic energy = K = 4.25×10⁻⁵ J

a. What work was done by the electric force?

This is calculated by; change in Kinetic Energy i.e. ∆KE

∆KE = ∆K2 - ∆Kæ

Where K2 = 4.25×10⁻⁵ J

The body is released at rest, so the initial velocity is 0.

So, K1 = 0

Also, total work done = W1 + W2

Where W2 = 7.10×10⁻⁵J

So, W1 + W2 = W = K2

W1 + 7.10×10⁻⁵ = 4.25×10⁻⁵

W1 = 4.25×10⁻⁵ - 7.10×10⁻⁵

W = -2.85 * ×10⁻⁵ J

Work done by the electric force = -2.85 * ×10⁻⁵ J

b. What is the potential of the starting point with respect to the end point?

The change in potential energy is given as

W = ∆U

W = Q|V2 - V1| where V1 = 0 because the body starts from rest

So, W = QV2

Make V the Subject of the formula

V2 = W/Q

V2 = -2.85 * ×10⁻⁵ J / 9.40 nC

V2 = -2.85 * ×10⁻⁵ J / 9.40 * 10^-9C

V2 = −3031.9148936170212765957V

V2 = -3.03 * 10³ V

The potential of the starting point with respect to the end point = -3.03 * 10³ V

c. What is the magnitude of the electric field?

The magnitude of the electric field is calculated as follows;

W = -Fd = -QEd

And E = V/d

E = -3.03 * 10³ V / 0.09 m

E = −33687.943262411347517730 V/m

E = -33.7kV/m

The magnitude of the electric field is 33.7kV/m

Be sure to answer all parts. find the most acidic hydrogen in tert−butyl methyl ketone and write a chemical equation for the pro

sleet_krkn [62]

Those Hydrogen atoms which are present at alpha position to carbonyl group are mildly acidic in nature. When such acidic proton containing carbonyl compounds are treated with strong base, they yield enolates. The negative charge created on alpha carbon resonates and shifts to carbonyl oxygen resulting in formation of carbon double bond carbon.

In <span>tert−butyl methyl ketone there are two carbons at each alpha position. Among these two carbons only methyl carbon contains hydrogen atoms while the second one is bonded to further three carbons making it Quaternary carbon. The base abstracts proton from methyl group and enolate is formed.

</span>tert−butyl methyl ketone in this case acts as acid, Hydroxyl ion acts as base, while the enolate generated is the conjugate base of <span>tert−butyl methyl ketone and Water produced is the conjugate acid of hydroxide ion.</span>
