If you wanted to detect x rays coming from the sun, where would you place the detector? Why?

You would have to place your sensor above earth's atmosphere because it blocks out nearly all x-rays. this is why we have the Chandra observatory

hope this helps

If you wanted to detect X-rays coming from the sun, the detector would have to be placed in orbit around Earth since most X-rays are absorbed the atmosphere.

Hope this helped :)

<span>The correct answer is C. divergent plate. That's because the plates diverged, that is, they separated. When they moved away from each other, the sea filled the hole. The opposite would be convergent if two plates moved towards each other and squished out a sea. Transform would be if it changed from one form to another.</span>

Differentiate between center of mass and center of gravity

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Centre of mass is the point at which the distribution of mass is equal in all directions, and does not depend on gravitational field. Centre of gravity is the point at which the distribution of weight is equal in all directions, and does depend on gravitational field.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:D. λfilm/4

Explanation: Destructive interference is a type of wave interference which means the coming together or over-lapping of two opposing waves creating No effect or the Cancellation of the wave impact. An example of destructive wave is when Noise cancel the effect of sound from a head phone.

The film thickness will need to be increased by λfilm/4 for it to be able to give a destructive interference.

Desde una altura de 120 m se deja caer un cuerpo. Calcular a los 2,5 s i) la rapidez que lleva; ii) cuánto ha descendido; iii) c

stira [4]

Answer:

i) 24.5 m/s

ii) 30,656 m

iii) 89,344 m

Explanation:

Desde una altura de 120 m se deja caer un cuerpo. Calcule a 2.5 s i) la velocidad que toma; ii) cuánto ha disminuido; iii) cuánto queda por hacer

i) Los parámetros dados son;

Altura inicial, s = 120 m

El tiempo en caída libre = 2.5 s

De la ecuación de caída libre, tenemos;

v = u + gt

Dónde:

u = Velocidad inicial = 0 m / s

g = Aceleración debida a la gravedad = 9.81 m / s²

t = Tiempo de caída libre = 2.5 s

Por lo tanto;

v = 0 + 9.8 × 2.5 = 24.5 m / s

ii) El nivel que el cuerpo ha alcanzado en 2.5 segundos está dado por la relación

s = u · t + 1/2 · g · t²

= 0 × 2.5 + 1/2 × 9.81 × 2.5² = 30.656 m

iii) La altura restante = 120 - 30.656 = 89.344 m.

Two large conducting parallel plates A and B are separated by 2.4 m. A uniform field of 1500 V/m, in the positive x-direction, i

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

a. 1.027 x 10^7 m/s b. 3600 V c. 0 V and d. 1.08 MeV

Explanation:

a. KE =1/2 (MV^2) where the M is mass of electron

b. E = V/d

c. V= 0 V (momentarily the pd changes to zero)

d KE= 300*3600 v = 1.08 MeV
