<h2>Answers:</h2>

<h2>1. event horizon </h2>

The event horizon is the surface of a black hole, it is the border of space-time in which the events on one side of it can not affect an observer on the other side.

That is, at this border also called <em>"point of no return"</em>, nothing can escape (not even light) and no event that occurs within it can be seen from outside.  

<h2>2. gravitational lensing  </h2>

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, mass causes the curvature of spacetime and this curvature is what we call <u>gravity</u>.

Then, the light always move following the curvature that gravity causes in spacetime, and in this way the rays of light are deflected if there is a mass accumulation nearby. Being this is the principle of the gravitational lensing.

<h2>3. black hole </h2>

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, inside a black hole there is a <em>"singularity"</em> that consists of a region of the space in which <u>the density of matter tends to infinity. </u>

How is it possible?

Following what relativity establishes, bodies within a gravitational field follow a curved space path. Then the more a body enters the black hole, the more curved the space will become, until, in the center, it will become infinitely curved.

<h2>4. gravitational waves </h2>

Gravitational waves were discovered (theoretically) by Albert Einstein in 1916 and "observed" for the first time in direct form in 2015.

These gravitational waves  are fluctuations or disturbances of space-time produced by a massive accelerated body, modifying the distances and the dimensions of objects in an imperceptible way.

In this context, an excellent example is the system of two neutron stars that orbit high speeds, producing a deformation that propagates like a wave, <u>in the same way as when a stone is thrown into the water. </u>

<h2>5. wormhole</h2>

A wormhole is <u>a hypothetical feature of a space-time</u> described in the equations of general relativity, which essentially consists of a shortcut through space and time.  It is not proven that they exist, although <u>mathematically they are possible</u> .

In other words:

A wormhole is a tunnel that joins two black holes in different places (two points of spacetime).

<h2>6. time dilation (gravitational) </h2>

The dilation of time is a phenomenon that results from the theory of relativity, which states that time passes at different rates in regions of different gravitational potential.

That is, the greater the local distortion of spacetime due to gravity, the slower the time passes.

<h2>7.  gravitational redshift</h2><h2 />

When we talk about the <u>visible electromagnetic spectrum</u>, we know it starts in violet-blue and ends in red.  

Now, in this context the astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble observed several celestial bodies, and when obtaining the spectra of distant galaxies he observed that the spectral lines were displaced towards the red one (red shift), whereas the nearby stars showed a spectrum displaced to the blue one.  

From there, it was deduced that the farther an body in the universe is, the more redshifted it is in its spectrum.  This effect is due to the dilation and contraction of time by speed.

Need help solving this question.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

to solve this problem we must make a free body diagram, with the forces acting on the metal rod.

i)

The center of gravity of the rod is concentrated in half the distance, that is, from the end of the bar to the center there is 40 [cm]. This can be seen in the attached free body diagram.

We have only two equilibrium equations, a summation of forces on the Y-axis equal to zero, and a summation of moments on any point equal to zero.

For the summation of forces we will take the forces upwards as positive and the negative forces downwards.

ΣF = 0

-15+T-W=0\\T-W=15

Now we perform a sum of moments equal to zero around the point of attachment of the string with the metal bar. Let's take as a positive the moment of the force that rotates the metal bar counterclockwise.

ii) In the free body diagram we can see that the force acts at 18 [cm] of the string.

ΣM = 0

(15*9) - (18*W) = 0\\135 = 18*W\\W = 7.5 [N]

Which property best makes radio waves safe for diagnosing illnesses through magnetic resonance imaging?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

It is used in MRI because it does not damage cells

Radio waves are used for space research because they have very long wavelengths

Explanation:

Many parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are applied in clinical diagnosis and treatment of illnesses. However, these highly ionizing radiation damage cells and its dosage must be carefully managed to avoid creating radiation related health problems for the patients.

Radio waves can be used in MRI without issues because the energy of the radiation is not sufficient to cause damage to cells but is sufficient to provide images for the sake of medical diagnosis.

Secondly, radio waves have long wavelength. This property is suitable for long range

communication. Hence it can be used in space research

How did harlow shapley conclude that the sun was not in the center of the milky way galaxy?
timurjin [86]

We learned that We are in the disk of the Galaxy, about 5/8 of the way from the center.

<h3>What is the work of Harlow Shapley?</h3>

Shapley, who was headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, used Cepheid variable stars to estimate the size of the Milky Way Galaxy and its position relative to the Sun. In 1953, he published his "liquid water belt" theory, today known as the concept of a livable zone.

There are many stars, grains of dust, and gas in the Milky Way. It is known as a spiral galaxy because, from the top or bottom, it would appear to be whirling like a pinwheel. About 25,000 light-years from the galaxy's nucleus, the Sun is situated on one of the spiral arms.

Approximately 5/8 of the way from the galaxy's nucleus, we are in the disc. William Herschel believed that the Sun and Earth were about in the middle of the vast cluster of stars known as the Milky Way.
