frez [133]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Convection currents are the result of different heating. Lighter material (warm) rises while heavier (cold) material sinks. This movement of the materials is what causes convection currents! (BTW, it happens in water, in the atmosphere, and in the mantle of Earth!

Explanation:

I hope this helps a little! :)

exis [7]
The question for this problem would be the minimum headphone delay, in ms, that will cancel this noise.
The 200 Hz. period = (1/200) = 0.005 sec. It will need to be delayed by 1/2, so 0.005/2, that is = 0.0025 sec. So converting sec to ms, will give us the delay of:Delay = 2.5 ms.

If the distance of a galaxy is 2,000 Mpc, how many years back into the past are we looking when we observe this galaxy
ruslelena [56]

The age of the galaxy when we look back is 13.97 billion years.

The given parameters:

  • <em>distance of the galaxy, x = 2,000 Mpc</em>

According Hubble's law the age of the universe is calculated as follows;

v = H₀x

where;

H₀ = 70 km/s/Mpc

T = \frac{x}{V} \\\\T = \frac{x}{xH_0} \\\\T = \frac{1}{H_0} \\\\T = \frac{1}{70 \ km/s/Mpc} \\\\T = \frac{1 \ sec}{70 \times 3.24 \times 10^{-20} } \\\\T = 4.41 \times 10^{17} \ sec\\\\T = \frac{4.41 \times 10^{17} \ sec\  \times \ years}{3600 \ s \ \times\  24\ h\  \times \ 365.25 \ days} \\\\T = 1.397  \times 10^{10} \ years\\\\T = 13.97 \ billion \ years

Thus, the age of the galaxy when we look back is 13.97 billion years.

States that there is an exchange of materials when two objects come into contact with each other
pishuonlain [190]

"Edmond Locard" states that there is an exchange of materials when two objects come into contact with each other.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A French criminologist who was popular as the "Sherlock Holmes of France," the pioneer in forensic science named as Dr. Edmond Locard. He articulated forensic science's fundamental principle "Each touch leaves a trace." This became known as Locard's philosophy of exchange. A Locard hypothesized that each and every time you touch another person, place or object, the result would be an exchange of materials. Burglars, for instance, will leave evidence of their existence behind and take traces with them too.
