Answer:

The Kepler Space Telescope is searching for extrasolar planets by the transit method. It is necessary for Kepler to photometrically monitor a large number of stars because increase the probability to see a transit.

Explanation:

Photometry is the study of the intensivity of light radiated from a particular object.

In the other hand, the transit method consists in the measured of the dimming on the brightness of a star when a planet is passing in front of it, as long as the star, the planet and the detector (in this case the Kepler Telescope) are in the same line of sign.  

However, that transit has a short duration. So it is necessary that the Kepler Telescope monitorates the brightness of several stars each thirty minutes in order to increase the probability of detection of a transit.

Two identical metal spheres a and b are connected by a plastic rod. both are initially neutral. 1.0×1012 electrons are added to
Ann [662]
The plastic rod is made of insulator (plastic), so it does not allow charges moving from one sphere to another. This means that all the electrons given to sphere A will remain on sphere A.

The number of electrons initially given to sphere A is N=1.0 \cdot 10^{12}, and since the charge of 1 electron is e=-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C, the net charge left on sphere A after the removal of the rod will be
Q=N e = 1.0 \cdot 10^{12}(-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C)=-1.6.0 \cdot 10^{-7} C

Which of the following best demonstrates the effect of static friction? A. A person dropping a ball to the ground. B. A person p
Dominik [7]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

A person pushing a couch will face resistive force of friction . When resistive force is greater then his force of effort , couch will not move. This force is static friction because the couch is stationary. When the force of effort is increased , magnitude of static friction also increases keeping the couch stationary. The ability of the static friction to increase its magnitude is limited by a maximum value beyond which the couch starts moving. The static friction is then converted into kinetic friction.

In rest of the three cases object is already moving so kinetic friction is in action.

Answer:

Solar energy; It benefits life because it does not produce greenhouse chemicals that are dangerous to the evironment, it uses the hot light of the plasma from the sun to pass through the solar panels, form there it can be stored and used in batteries already built in, it also provides lots of money savings troughout the seasons, and it can save 155 dollars a year.
