In the year 1178. five monks at Canterbury Cathedral in England observed what appeared to be an asteroid colliding with the moon

, causing a red glow in and around it. It is hypothesized that this event created the crater Giordano Bruno, which is right on the edge of the area we can usually see from Earth. How long after the asteroid hit the Moon, which is 3.84 x 10^5 km away, would the light first arrive on Earth in seconds?

Answer: 1.28 sec

Explanation:

Assuming that the glow following the collision was produced instantaneously, as the light propagates in a straight line from Moon to the Earth at a constant speed, we can get the time traveled by the light applying velocity definition as follows:

V = ∆x / ∆t

Solving for ∆t, we have:

∆t = ∆x/v = ∆x/c = 3.84 108 m / 3.8 108 m/s = 1.28 sec

2 rocks of different masses roll down a hill at the same speed which rock has more kinetic energy small one or big one ???
Sophie [7]

Kinetic energy depends on the mass and the speed of a moving object.

If the speeds are equal, then the rick with more mass has more kinetic energy.

a positively charged ion, due to a cosmic ray, is headed through earth's atmosphere toward the center of Earth. Due to Earth's m
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

East direction

Explanation:

Given that

Charge on the particle is positive.

Moving towards the center of earth .

We know that N(north ) pole in magnetic fields work as source of magnetic lines and S(South ) pole works and sink for magnetic lines.

Therefore due to the earth magnetic fields , the positive ions will deflect  towards  East direction.

Thus the answer will be East direction.

You are moving at a speed 2/3 c toward randy when randy shines a light toward you. at what speed do you see the light approachin
yarga [219]
I see the light moving exactly at speed equal to c.

In fact, the second postulate of special relativity states that:
"The speed of light in free space has the same value c<span> in all inertial frames of reference."
</span>
The problem says that I am moving at speed 2/3 c, so my motion is a uniform motion (constant speed). This means I am in an inertial frame of reference, so the speed of light in this frame must be equal to c.

A hypothesis that survives peer review receiving similar results and has predictive capabilities a Fact a) Theory b) a Law an Ax
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

A scientific hypothesis is the proposed perdition or idea which is based on the earlier works and knowledge related to the scientific issue. The hypothesis can be tested and proved on the basis of the experiments.

The proved hypothesis can either become law or theory after peer-reviewed by fellow scientists. If the hypothesis still has predictive capabilities help form another hypothesis. Such statements are known as the "theory".

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
