Answer: option c: It orbits beyond the Earth's atmosphere to avoid scattering of light.

Explanation:

Hubble space telescope orbits Earth and sends images of distant objects. The images formed by Hubble are better than the optical telescopes used on land. This is because the Hubble telescope is a space telescope. Light from the distant objects when reaches the land telescopes transmits through atmosphere, where scattering occurs. Some the light rays bounce back. This is avoided by the space telescope Hubble.

How do scientists know the continents were once closer than they are today? Explain your answer in 2-3 complete sentences.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics. 

 

The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other. He called this movement continental drift.

How do scientists use the Doppler effect to understand the universe?
professor190 [17]
There's a very subtle thing going on here, one that could blow your mind.

Wherever we look in the universe, no matter what direction we look,
we see the light from distant galaxies arriving at our telescopes with
longer wavelengths than the light SHOULD have.

The only way we know of right now that can cause light waves to get
longer after they leave the source is motion of the source away from
the observer. The lengthening of the waves on account of that motion
is called the Doppler effect.  (The answer to the question is choice-c.)

But that may not be the only way that light waves can get stretched.  It's
the only way we know of so far, and so we say that the distant galaxies
are all moving away from us. 

From that, we say the whole universe is expanding, and that right there is
one of the strongest observations that we explain with the Big Bang theory
of creation.

Now:  If ... say tomorrow ... a competent Physicist discovers another way
for light waves to get stretched after they leave the source, then the whole
"expanding universe" idea is out the window, and probably the Big Bang
theory along with it !


Now that our mind has been blown, come back down to Earth with me,
and I'll give you something else to think about:

It's true that when we look at distant galaxies, we do see their light
arriving in our telescopes with longer wavelengths than it should have.
And then we use the Doppler effect to calculate how fast that galaxy
is moving away from us.  That's all true.  Astronomers are doing it
every day.                                   I mean every night.

So here's the question for you to think about ... maybe even READ about:

When the light from a distant galaxy pours into our telescope, and we
look at it, and we measure its wavelength, and we find that the wavelength
is longer than it should be ... how do we know what it should be ? ? ?

When you bent the plastic ruler, what did you observe in its size? ​
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The size will increase.

Explanation:

When you bend a plastic ruler, it's size will increase because it is elastic and will exhibit elastic deformation. When it is been bent, it will continue to stretch until it get to a point where it will not be able to regain it formal shape, it size wound of increase. Therefore when the ruler get to elastic limit and you have bend it to the point it cannot regain it's formal shape back, it will remain bent and if further force is apply on it,it will break.

At a speed of 60 mph, how far does your car travel in 3 seconds
Viefleur [7K]

One of the many random useless factoids that I carry around
in my head is the factoid that 60 miles per hour is equivalent
to exactly 88 feet per second.

So in three seconds at that speed, you would cover exactly

                       (3 x 88) = 264 feet.
