<span>TRUE

The force that opposes the movement of an object through water is called drag. This is a type of frictional force. This force normally depends on the density and the viscosity of the fluid in question. The liquid which has more density and more viscosity or stickiness will produce a greater amount of drag force on an object than a fluid that is less dense and less viscous in nature. River water normally has less drag than that of sea water. </span><span> <span>

PLEASE HELP ME I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS AND THIS IS TIMED

(C)

Explanation:

The circle has a radius r = 0.5 m, which means that its circumference C is

$C = 2\pi r = 2\pi(0.5\:\text{m}) = 3.14\:\text{m}$

One revolution means that the stopper travels a distance equal to the circumference of the circle so the velocity of the stopper is

$v = \dfrac{C}{t} =\dfrac{3.14\:\text{m}}{0.2\:\text{s}} = 15.7\:\text{m/s} \approx 16\:\text{m/s}$

How light is channelled down an optical fibre

coldgirl [10]

Explanation:

Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.

The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.

However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.

The largest stars are _____ times the mass of the Sun. 10 100 1,000 10,000

Arte-miy333 [17]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

100 times

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The largest stars are 100 times the mass of the Sun.
<u>The giant stars are about 10 to 100 times the radius of the sun</u>, which means they are 100 times brighter than the sun.
<em><u>The largest known star in terms of mass and brightness is known as the Pistol Star. It is believed to be 100 times as massive as our Sun, and 10,000,000 times as bright.</u></em>

What is black body radiation? Explain in detail.

tangare [24]

An object that absorbs all radiation falling on it, at all wavelengths, is called a black body. When a black body is at a uniform temperature, its emission has a characteristic frequency distribution that depends on the temperature. Its emission is called black-body radiation
