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.

Cesium-137 undergoes beta decay and has a half-life of 30.0 years. How many beta particles are emitted by a 14.0-g sample of ces
Mandarinka [93]

Answer: 0.81\times 10^{16} beta particles

Explanation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass = 14.0 g

Molar mass = 137 g/mol

\text{Number of moles of cesium}=\frac{14.0g}{137g/mol}=0.102moles

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

1 mole of cesium contains atoms =  6.023\times 10^{23}

0.102 moles of cesium contains atoms =  \frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 0.102=0.614\times 10^{23}

The relation of atoms with time for radioactivbe decay is:

N_t=N_0\times \frac{1}{2}^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}

Where N_t =atoms left undecayed

N_0 = initial atoms

t = time taken for decay = 3 minutes

{t_{\frac{1}{2}}} = half life = 30.0 years = 1.577\times 10^7 minutes

The fraction that decays  :  1-(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{3}{1.577\times 10^7}}=1.32\times 10^{-7}

Amount of particles that decay is  = 0.614\times 10^{23}\times 1.32\times 10^{-7}=0.81\times 10^{16}

Thus 0.81\times 10^{16} beta particles are emitted by a 14.0-g sample of cesium-137 in three minutes.

Which statement best describes perigee?
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A. The closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth

Explanation:

The perigee is defined as the closest point in the orbit of an object (such as a satellite) from the centre of the Earth. In this case, the Earth's satellite is the Moon, so the perigee is defined as the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. so option A is the correct one.

Let's see instead the names of the other options:

B. The farthest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth  --> this point is called apogee

C. The closest point in Earth's orbit of the Sun  --> this point is called perihelion

D. The Sun's orbit that is closest to the Moon --> this point has no specific name

A prismatic bar AB of length L and solid circular cross section (diameter d) is loaded by a distributed torque of constant inten
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

a) the maximum shear stress τ_{max} the bar is 16T_{max} /πd³

b) the angle of twist between the ends of the bar is 16tL² / πGd⁴  

Explanation:

Given the data in the question, as illustrated in the image below;

d is the diameter of the prismatic bar of length AB

t is the intensity of distributed torque

(a) Determine the maximum shear stress tmax in the bar

Maximum Applied torque  T_max = tL

we know that;

shear stress τ = 16T/πd³

where d is the diameter

so

τ_{max} = 16T_{max} /πd³

Therefore, the maximum shear stress τ_{max} the bar is 16T_{max} /πd³

(b) Determine the angle of twist between the ends of the bar.

let theta (\theta) be the angle of twist

polar moment of inertia I_p} = πd⁴/32

now from the second image;

lets length dx which is at distance of "x" from "B"

Torque distance x

T(x) = tx

Elemental angle twist = d\theta = T(x)dx / GI_{p}

so

d\theta = tx.dx / G(πd⁴/32)

d\theta = 32tx.dx / πGd⁴

so total angle of twist \theta will be;

\theta =  \int\limits^L_0  \, d\theta

\theta =  \int\limits^L_0  \, 32tx.dx / πGd⁴

\theta = 32t / πGd⁴  \int\limits^L_0  \, xdx

\theta = 32t / πGd⁴ [ L²/2]

\theta = 16tL² / πGd⁴  

Therefore,  the angle of twist between the ends of the bar is 16tL² / πGd⁴

A skier of mass 60 kg is pulled up a slope by a motor-driven cable. (a) How much work is required to pull him 75 m up a 30° slop
postnew [5]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of skier=60 kg

distance traveled by skier=75 m

inclination(\theta )=30^{\circ}

speed (v)=2.4 m/s

as the skier is moving up with a constant velocity therefore net force is zero

F_{net}=0

Force applied by cable=mg\sin \theta

F=60\times 9.8\times \sin (30)=294 N

work done=F\cdot x

W=294\cdot 75=22.125 J

(b)Power=F\cdot v

P=294\cdot 2.4=705.6 W\approx 0.946 hp
