Answer:

The International Astronomical Union (IAU)  has accepted 88 constellations in the sky.

Explanation:

Constellations has been used since the beginnings of civilizations and each one of them named them as they considered appropiate. It means Greeks' constellations were different than the ones described by Chinese, so it was necessary to gather all these constellations and make a great record with all of them, but there was a problem: Some constellations from different civilizations overlaped because they shared the same stars. There was necessary to put some order on this and that is when in 1922 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) defned a set of 88 moderm constellations  that would become the international standard to look at the night sky. Each one of them is unique and does not share stars with the other constellations.

An electron moves with a speed of 8.0×106m/s along the -z-axis. It enters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field B = (
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=9.36\times 10^{18}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of electron, v=8\times 10^6\ m/s

Charge on an electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Mass of electron, m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Magnetic field, B=5.5i-3.7j

Magnitude, |B|=\sqrt{5.5^2+(-3.77)^2}=6.66\ T

Magnetic force is given by :

F=qvB

Also, F = ma

a=\dfrac{qvB}{m}

a=\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 8\times 10^6\times 6.66}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

a=9.36\times 10^{18}\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the electron is 9.36\times 10^{18}\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

How does the search for exoplanets help us describe how science requires creativity?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

As the planets are very small and dark in comparison with stars, it makes them very hard to be found from earth.

Explanation:

Astronomy, of course, has a solution for this. As astronomers can't observe planets directly, they decided to observe the stars and search for the effects that planets have on them.

There are many ways of observing the exoplanets: Radial Velocity, Transit Photometry, Microlensing, Astrometry, Direct Imaging, etc.

Before all of this, scientist had to find ways to prove their theories. Most of their time they have spent in giving the creative answers.

Science and creativity are very much connected when we speak about the development of science. Rationality and creativity always go together.

In order to create an idea that other people will consider useful, it is important to use creativity. As no one has the exact answer when it comes to science, the adventure is to research the unknown.
