Why might a telescope be built high in the mountains above weather sys

Large telescopes aren't built on mountain tops for the purpose of watching
weather systems.  The ones that are built at high altitudes are intended to be
used to observe celestial objects ... planets, stars, galaxies, comets, nebulae,
quasars, novae, and the space around black holes. 

The way a telescope does that is:  It collects visible light and radiation with
other electromagnetic wavelengths, and people then analyze the radiation
that the telescope has collected.

When we use the telescope to do that, we want anything it collects to be
as close as possible to the radiation that actually left the star.  The problem
is that anything the telescope collects must come down through AIR. The trip
through air changes the radiation before you have a chance to collect it, so
you can never see exactly what left the star.

The solution: 

==> Build your telescope in a place where the light goes through less air
before it reaches the telescope. 

==> Or ... if you can work it out somehow ... through NO air.

That means: 

==> Build your telescope at high altitude, on a mountaintop, where
most of the Earth's air is BELOW you.

==> Or put your telescope in a spacecraft.  Put the spacecraft in orbit
around the Earth, where there is almost NO air, and let the telescope
send its pictures and other data to you by radio.

We start with 5.00 moles of an ideal monatomic gas with an initial temperature of 128 ∘C. The gas expands and, in the process, a
o-na [289]

Answer:

The final temperature of the gas is <em>114.53°C</em>.

Explanation:

Firstly, we calculate the change in internal energy, ΔU from the first law of thermodynamics:

ΔU=Q - W

ΔU = 1180 J - 2020 J = -840 J

Secondly, from the ideal gas law, we calculate the final temperature of the gas, using the change in internal energy:

ΔU=\frac{3}{2} nRΔT

ΔU=\frac{3}{2} nR(T_{2} -T_{1} )

Then we make the final temperature, T₂, subject of the formula:

T_{2} =\frac{2ΔU}{3nR} +T_{1}

T_{2} =\frac{2(-840J)}{(3)(5)(8.314J/mol.K)} +128 deg.C

T_{2} =114.53 deg.C

Therefore the final temperature of the gas, T₂, is 114.53°C.

1 Give reasons:
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a) The plasma membrane is called a selectively permeable membrane as it permits the movement of only certain molecules in and out of the cells. ... It allows hydrophobic molecules and small polar molecules diffuse through the lipid layer, but does not allow ions and large polar molecules cannot diffuse through the membrane

b) Plastids are present in the cells of plants. They are characterised by the presence of pigments. ... Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments responsible for capturing the light energy that is necessary for photosynthesis. The chloroplasts are therefore known as the kitchen of the cell.

c) Lysosomes are known as the suicidal bag of the cell because it is capable of destroying its own cell in which it is present. It contains many hydrolytic enzymes which are responsible for the destruction process. This happens when either the cell is aged or gets infected by foreign agents like any bacteria or virus.

d) Mitochondria are often called the “powerhouses” or “energy factories” of a cell because they are responsible for making adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy-carrying molecule. ... In mitochondria, this process uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide as a waste product.

e) In Hydra, the cells are arranged in two germinal layers—outer ectoderm and inner endoderm. Between these two layers is a layer of undifferentiated cells called mesoglea. Such kind of pattern of embryonic layers is seen in diploblastic animals. Hence, Hydra is a diploblastic animal.

Answer:

<em>two different components</em>

Explanation:

<em>Any two-dimensional vector can be conceived of as having two distinct components. The component of a single vector describes the vector's effect in a specific direction.</em>

For two traveling waves, if the crest of one wave coincides with a trough of another, what type of interference occurs?
kogti [31]
When crest of one wave interferes with the trough of other wave, the amplitude of the resultant wave formed is less. Hence the type of interference is destructive interference.
