Why are you able to make someone on a swing have very large swings by only exerting very small forces on them?

1 answer:

3 0

Because almost all of the force is done by the weight of the person and the mechanism of the swing itself, when you push someone you only give them an increase in velocity, the acceleration comes from the weight at first and then from gravity when the person is coming down, which is why we bend our legs when coming down

What advantage do space telescopes have over telescopes used on earth?

Elina [12.6K]

Earth's atmosphere blocks many types of light including gamma, x-rays most ultraviolet and infrared. So optical telescopes that use visible light and ultraviolet telescopes that are used to study very hot stars are much less effective on Earth.

The time constant for RC circuit with the values of R1 and C1 is 5ms. What will be the time constant for a new RC circuit with t

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

d. 25 ms

Explanation:

In a RC circuit we call time constant to the product of the resistance times the capacitance, which represents the time when the charge reaches to the 63% of the final value, as follows:

$\tau_{1} = R_{1} *C_{1} = 5 ms (1)$

If we have a new circuit with new values for R and C, the time constant will be defined in the same way, as follows:

$\tau_{2} =10* R_{1} *0.5*C_{1} = 5*(R_{1}* C_{1}) = 5* \tau_{1} = 5* 5 ms = 25 ms (2)$

Assuming that each of the following objects is a typical example of its class, rank them by increasing density.

molecular cloud <interstellar cloud <1 Msun protostar <1 Msun star <intercloud gas

Explanation:

Molecular cloud- They are a variety of interstellar cloud in which molecular hydrogen can sustain themselves. They have a very low temperature ranging from -440 to -370 degrees Fahrenheit or between 10 to 50 Kelvin. Owing to their extremely low temperature, they appear mostly dark when viewed through telescopes.

Interstellar cloud- They are a congregation of a large number of interstellar gases, dust and plasma in any galaxy or universe. They have varying temperature depending on their proximity to a star. E.g. Neutral hydrogen atom clouds have a temperature of around just 100 Kelvin while those in the near vicinity of a star have temperatures as high as 10,000 Kelvin.

1 Msun star- These stars have temperature anywhere between 5300 and 6000 Kelvin. The main source of such high surface temperature is nuclear fusion process where elemental hydrogen molecules are fused to form helium molecules.

1 Msun protostar- protostar is rather a young star which is still in formation phase (i.e. gathering mass from the parent molecular cloud). They have temperature anywhere between 2000-3000 kelvin and are accompanied by dust usually.

Intercloud gas- These are the remainder gases that are spread throughout the interstellar space. This Intercloud gas is divided into warm intercloud medium and extremely hot coronal gas with temperatures comparing to Sun’s corona. Warm intercloud forms the dominant part of intercloud gas with a temperature around 8000 Kelvin.

Ahab has been sent to the shops by his mother. The shops are 1200 m from his

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

it will take him 200secs to run to the shops

(btw 200 seconds is 3minutes and 20secs)

Explanation:

distance = speed x time

time = distance / speed

1200 ÷ 6 = 200

time = 200seconds

hope this helps

brainliest please?
