AVprozaik [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The object is most likely to be a (distant) galaxy

Explanation:

Distance of galaxies are often calculated based on the unit of light year.

The abbreviation, mpc which translates to mega parsec

A mega parsec is equivalent to 3.3 light years.

So, if the astronomer sighted the object from a distance of 28mpc which is equivalent to 28 * 3.3 light-years (92.4 light years); the object is most likely to be a galaxy; a distant galaxy

A box with a mass of 12.5kg sits on the floor how high would you need to lift it has a GPE of 568j
Degger [83]
GPE=mgh
m= 12.5kg
g= 9.81 always
h=?

568=12.5*9.81*h
Solve for h
You will get 4.63m

If a thermometer measured the temperature in an oven as 400oF five days in a row when the temperature was actually 397oF, this m
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

It can be said to be reliable although it is not valid

Explanation:

This is because Reliability means an indicator of consistency, A measure should produce similar or the same results consistently if it measures the same quantity. So does the thermometer measures over 5days but it is not valid because it deviates from the real value

do constructive inference occur when the compression of one wave meets up with the compression of a second wave
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There are two types of interference possible when two waves meet at the same point:

- Constructive interference: this occurs when the two waves meet in phase, i.e. the crest (or the compression, in case of a longitudinale wave) meets with the crest (compression) of the other wave. In such a case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is twice that of the original wave.

- Destructive interferece: this occurs when the two waves meet in anti-phase, i.e. the crest (or the compression, in case of a longitudinal wave) meets with the trough (rarefaction) of the other wave. In this case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is zero, since the amplitudes of the two waves cancel out.

In this problem, we have a situation where the compression of one wave meets with the compression of the second wave, so we have constructive interference.

The speed of sound at temperature of________in the air is 360m/s.​
Aleks04 [339]

Vo= 331+0.6T

360=331+0.6T

360-331=0.6T

29=0.6T

0.6T/29

T=6/290 so change it to simplest form and us formulas good luck
