Answer:

D Dark Energy

Explanation:

The expansion of the universe is explained on the basis of dark energy.

A force that is responsible for the expansion of the universe is named as the Dark energy. It is only a hypothetical form of energy. It seems to oppose gravity by exerting a negative and repulsive pressure.

Accelerated expansion of the universe is caused by the dark energy. Dark energy contributes to atleast 68% of the total energy that exists in the present day observable universe. These are details that are presented by the Standard model of Cosmology.

Dark matter neither emits nor absorbs light. It exerts immense gravity.

infrared radiation from young stars can pass through the heavy dust clouds surrounding them, allowing astronomers here on earth
Mashcka [7]

The wavelength of the infrared radiation is  λ = 3.174×10^{-5}m.

<h3>What is infrared radiation?</h3>

An infrared telescope is tuned to detect infrared radiation with a frequency of 9.45 THz.

We know that,

1 THz = 10¹² Hz

So,

f = 9.45 × 10¹² Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the infrared radiation.

λ=c/f

λ = 3×10^{8}/9.45×10^{12}

λ = 3.174 ×10^{-5} m

The term "infrared radiation" (IR) refers to a part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum with wavelengths between about 700 nanometers (nm) and one millimeter (mm). Longer than visible light waves but shorter than radio waves are infrared waves.

Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than those of visible light is known as infrared, also known as infrared light. Since it is undetectable to the human eye, The typical range of wavelengths considered to be infrared (IR) is from about 1 millimeter to the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum, or about 700 nanometers.

A football is place kicked with a velocity having a vertical component of 12 m/s and a horizontal component of 6 m/s. Find the r
SSSSS [86.1K]

The velocity is given by:

V = √(Vx²+Vy²)

V = velocity, Vx = horizontal velocity, Vy = vertical velocity

Given values:

Vx = 6m/s, Vy = 12m/s

Plug in and solve for V:

V = √(6²+12²)

V = 13.42m/s

Now find the direction:

θ = tan⁻¹(Vy/Vx)

θ = angle of velocity off horizontal, Vy = vertical velocity, Vx = horizontal velocity

Given values:

Vx = 6m/s, Vy = 12m/s

Plug in and solve for θ:

θ = tan⁻¹(12/6)

θ = 63.4°

The resultant velocity is 13.42m/s at an angle of 63.4° off the horizontal.

Compare the maximum rate of heat transfer to the basal metabolic rate by converting a bmr of 88 kcal/hr into watts. what is the
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Explanation :

It is given that,

BMR i.e basal metabolic rate is 88 kcal/hr. So, BMR in watts is converted by the following :

We know that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules

So, 1\ kcal/h=\dfrac{1\times 4184\ J}{3600\ sec}

1\ kcal/h=1.16\ J/sec

J/sec is nothing but watts.

So, 1\ kcal/h=1.16\ watts

and 88\ kcal/h=88\times 1.16\ watts = 102.08\ watts

So, it can be seen that the body can accommodate a modes amount of activity in hot weather but strenuous activity would increase the metabolic rate above the body's ability to remove heat.

What is the energy of the photon emitted when an electron in a mercury atom drops from energy level f to energy level b?
xeze [42]

The energy of the photon emitted when an electron in a mercury atom drops from energy level f to energy level b is 3.06 eV.

<h3>Change in energy level of the electron</h3>

When photons jump from a higher energy level to a lower level, they emit or radiate energy.

The change in energy level of the electrons is calculated as follows;

ΔE = Eb - Ef

ΔE = -2.68 eV - (-5.74 eV)

ΔE = 3.06 eV

Thus, the energy of the photon emitted when an electron in a mercury atom drops from energy level f to energy level b is 3.06 eV.
