How is light used to study space? IN YOUR OWN WORDS

Physics
1 answer:
sineoko [7]3 years ago
3 0
Well, all the words are common, but I try to answer in my way. The way how light is used to study space is finding distance between the planets, which is called a light year. According to the <span>scientist's beliefs the space is but a vaccum and the only body that can travel through it is light, that's why light is very importand for discovering space.
</span>Hope you will find it helpful!

0.3-L glass of water at 20C is to be cooled with ice to 5C. Determine how much ice needs to be added to the water, in grams, i
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

a. m_i_c_e=54.6g\\b. m_i_c_e=48.7g\\m_c_o_l_d_w_a_t_e_r=900g

Explanation:

First we need to state our assumptions:

Thermal properties of ice and water are constant, heat transfer to the glass is negligible, Heat of ice h_i_f=333.7KJkg

Mass of water,m_w=\rho V =1\times0.3=0.3Kg.

Energy balance for the ice-water system is defined as

E_i_n-E_o_u_t=\bigtriangleup E_s_y_s\\0=\bigtriangleup U=\bigtriangleup U_i_c_e+\bigtriangleup U_w

a.The mass of ice at 0\textdegree C is defined as:

[mc(0-T_1)+mh_i_f+mc(T_2-0)]_i_c_e+[mc(T_2-T_1)]_w=0\\\\m_i_c_e[0+333.7+418\times(5-0)]+0.3\times4.18\times(5-20)=0\\m_i_c_e=0.0546Kg=54.6g

b.Mass of ice at 20\textdegree C is defined as:

[mc(0-T_1)+mh_i_f+mc(T_2-0)]_i_c_e+[mc(T_2-T_1)]_w=0\\\\m_i_c_e[2.11\times(0-(20))+333.7+4.18\times(5-0)]+0.3\times4.18\times(5-20)=0\\\\m_i_c_e=0.0487Kg=48.7g

c.Mass of cooled water at T_c_w=0\textdegree C

\bigtriangleup U_c_w+\bigtriangleup U_w=0

[mc(T_2-T_1)]_c_w+[mc(T_2-T_1)]_w=0\\m_c_w\times4.18\times(5-0)+0.3\times4.18\times(5-20)\\m_c_w=0.9kg=900g

How does the force of gravity exerted
givi [52]

The two forces of gravity are equal

Explanation:

We can answer this question by applying Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

In this problem, we can identify the Sun as object A and the Earth as object B. This means that the force of gravity exerted by the Sun on the Earth is the action, while the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on the Sun is the reaction: according to Newton's third law, these two forces are equal and opposite.

Therefore, the two forces of gravity are equal in magnitude, which is given by:

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the Sun

m is the mass of the Earth

r is the separation between the Earth and the Sun
