Explain the bending of light as a property of a warping of space

Physics
1 answer:
saveliy_v [14]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

According to the general theory of relativity, spacetime curves due to the energy it contains. Since mass is a form of energy, "create" gravity. That is, gravity is the effect observed as a consequence of the curvature of spacetime. Therefore, gravity curves the path of light because it curves the space through which light passes.

Answer:

Explanation:

If the passage of the waves is one crest every 2.5 seconds, then that is the frequency of the wave, f.

The distance between the 2 crests (or troughs) is the wavelength, λ.

We want the velocity of this wave. The equation that relates these 3 things is

f=\frac{v}{\lambda} and filling in:

2.5=\frac{v}{2.0} so

v = 2.5(2.0) and

v = 5.0 m/s

Two resistances, R1 and R2, are connected in series across a 9-V battery. The current increases by 0.450 A when R2 is removed, l
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

a. R1 = 0.162 Ω

b. R2 = 0.340 Ω

Explanation:

Since the resistors R1 and R2 are connected in series, the current flowing through them when the 9 V battery is applied is 9/R1 + R2.

When the current increases by 0.450 A wen only R1 is in the circuit, the current is

9/R1 + R2 + 0.450 A = 9/R1       (1)

When the current increases by 0.225 A when only R2 is in the circuit, the current is

9/R1 + R2 + 0.225 A = 9/R2       (2)

equation (1) - (2) equals

9(1/R1 - 1/R2) = 0.450 A - 0.225

9(1/R1 - 1/R2) = 0.125

(1/R1 - 1/R2) = 0.125 A/9 = 0.0138

1/R1 = 0.0138 + 1/R2

R1 = R2/(1 + 0.0138R2)     (3)

From (1)

9/R1 - 9/R1 + R2 = 0.450 A

9R2/[R1(R1 + R2)] = 0.450 A

R2/[R1(R1 + R2)] = 0.450 A/9 = 0.5

R2/[R1(R1 + R2)] = 0.5    (4)

From (3) R2/R1 = (1 + 0.0138R2) and from (4) R2/R1 = 0.5(R1 + R2). So,

(1 + 0.0138R2) = 0.5(R1 + R2)

0.5R1 + 0.5R2 = 1 + 0.0138R2

0.5R1 = 1 + 0.0138R2 - 0.5R2

0.5R1 = 1 - 0.4862R2        (5)

Substituting (3) into (5) we have

0.5R2/(1 + 0.0138R2) = 1 - 0.4862R2

R2 = (1 + 0.0138R2)(1 - 0.4862R2)

R2 = 1 - 0.4724R2 - 0.0067R2²

Collecting like terms, we have

0.0067R2² + 0.4724R2 + R2 - 1 = 0

0.0067R2² + 1.4724R2 - 1 = 0

Using the quadratic formula,

R_{2} = \frac{-1.4724 +/-\sqrt{(1.4724)^{2} - 4 X 0.0067 X -1} }{2 X 0.0067}  \\= \frac{-1.4724 +/-\sqrt{2.1680 + 0.0268} }{0.0268}\\= \frac{-1.4724 +/-\sqrt{2.1948} }{0.0268}\\= \frac{-1.4724 +/- 1.4815 }{0.0268}\\= \frac{-1.4724 + 1.4815 }{0.0268} or \frac{-1.4724 - 1.4815 }{0.0268}\\= \frac{0.0091 }{0.0268} or \frac{-2.9539}{0.0268}\\= 0.340 or -110.22

We choose the positive answer.

So R2 = 0.340 Ω

From (5)

R1 = 0.5 - 0.9931R2

   = 0.5 - 0.9931 × 0.340

   = 0.5 - 0.338

   = 0.162 Ω

a. R1 = 0.162 Ω

b. R2 = 0.340 Ω

Is energy matter? Is gravity matter? Why or why not
Alja [10]

No, because the energy is the capacity for performing work. Gravity is the force that draws everything to the earth's center.

The idea that earth was the center of the universe is an example of ---that has been long dicarded
Leni [432]

Answer:

Geocentric model of the universe

Explanation:

In the geocentric model of the universe, the earth is the center of the universe. This theory was later replaced by the heliocentric model which places the sun as the center.

This belief was propagated by the ancient Greeks. The geocentric model of the universe was proposed by Ptolemy.

The model suggests that other planetary bodies orbits the earth.

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

n=6.56×10¹⁵Hz

Explanation:

Given Data

Mass=9.1×10⁻³¹ kg

Radius distance=5.3×10⁻¹¹m

Electric Force=8.2×10⁻⁸N

To find

Revolutions per second

Solution

Let F be the force of attraction

let n  be the number of revolutions per sec made by the electron around the nucleus then the centripetal force is given by

F=mω²r......................where ω=2π  n

F=m4π²n²r...............eq(i)

as the values given where

Mass=9.1×10⁻³¹ kg

Radius distance=5.3×10⁻¹¹m

Electric Force=8.2×10⁻⁸N

we have to find n from eq(i)

n²=F/(m4π²r)

n^{2} =\frac{8.2*10^{-8} }{9.11*10^{-31}* 4\pi^{2} *5.3*10^{-11}  }\\ n^{2}=4.31*10^{31}\\ n=\sqrt{4.31*10^{31}}\\ n=6.56*10^{15}Hz
