Astronomers believe that cosmic background radiation formed:

1 answer:

5 0

The assumption that the cosmic microwave background
is the remnant of the environment at the time of the big bang
or very shortly after it explains very well what we observe now.
So it is the current prevailing theory. "Believe" is not involved.

Which of these is a type of telescope?

Arte-miy333 [17]

I've heard of radio telescopes before on tv, I think they emit waves and measure how they are refracted/diffracted.

Thanks,

20. GP A sinusoidal wave traveling in the negative x direction (to the left) has an amplitude of 20.0cm, a wavelength of 35.0cm,

umka21 [38]

The angular frequency of the wave is determined as 75.4 rad/s.

<h3>What is wave function?</h3>

A wave function is a mathematical equation for the motion of the wave.

y(x, t) = A sin(kx + ωt + Φ)

where;

ω is angular speed
k is angular wavenumber
Φ is phase angle

<h3>What is angular frequency?</h3>

The angular frequency is the angular displacement of any wave element per unit of time or the rate of change of the waveform phase.

<h3>Angular frequency</h3>

ω = 2πf

ω = 2π(12)

ω = 75.4 rad/s

Thus, the angular frequency of the wave is determined as 75.4 rad/s.

an apple in a tree has a gravitational potential energy of 175J and a mass of 0.36g . how high from the ground is the apple

Neko [114]

The equation for potential energy is denoted as;

Pe = mgh,

where m = the mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, and h = vertical height of the apple. We are given the units for everything but height, which is also what we are solving for. We can then algebraically rearrange our initial equation to solve for h;

h = (Pe)/(mg)

Plug in your given units, and solve!

Post-check:

h = Pe/mg

h = 175J/(0.36g)(-9.81m/s^2)

h = appr. 49.5 meters

Note: Potential energy is a vector quantity; the displacement of the apple will be a negative number, but the distance itself, a scalar quantity, will be the absolute value of that.

The Sun delivers an average power of 1.575 W/m2 to the top of Neptune's atmosphere. Find the magnitudes of max and max for the e

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

$1.1486813808\times 10^{-7}\ T$

34.46 V/m

Explanation:

$\mu_0$ = Vacuum permeability = $4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ H/m$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

I = Intensity = 1.575 W/m²

The maximum magnetic field intensity is given by

$B_m=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\mu_0I}{c}}\\\Rightarrow B_m=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 1.575}{3\times 10^8}}\\\Rightarrow B_m=1.1486813808\times 10^{-7}\ T$

The magnetic field intensity is $1.1486813808\times 10^{-7}\ T$

The maximum electric field intensity is given by

$E_m=B_m\times c\\\Rightarrow E_m=1.1486813808\times 10^{-7}\times 3\times 10^8\\\Rightarrow E_m=34.46\ V/m$

The electric field intensity is 34.46 V/m

A 7750 kg space probe, moving nose-first toward Jupiter at 179 m/s relative to the Sun, fires its rocket engine, ejecting 72.0 k

Reika [66]

Answer:

179.47m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses

u1 and u2 are the initial velocities

v is the final velocity

Substitute

7750(179)+72(230) = (7750+72)v

1,387,250+16560 = 7822v

1,403,810 = 7822v

v = 1,403,810/7822

v= 179.47m/s

Hence the final velocity of the probe is 179.47m/s
