As light from a star spreads out and weakens, do gaps form between the photons?

1 answer:

Zolol [24]2 years ago

3 0

Answer:

There are no gaps in space between the photons as they travel. If you were to look at a wave then you'd come to a conclusion that indeed that there aren't any gaps unless they are specifically placed.The light from a distance star indeed spreads out and weakens as it travels, but this just reduces the wave strength and does not introduce gaps.

The position of a certain airplane during takeoff is given by x=1/2 *bt2, where b = 2.0 m/s2 and t = 0 corresponds to the instan

Serhud [2]

Answer:

1362000 kgm/s

Explanation:

So the total mass combination of the plane and the people inside it is

M = 35000 + 160*65 = 45400 kg

After 15 seconds at an acceleration of 2 m/s2, the plane speed would be

V = 2*15 = 30 m/s

So the magnitude of the plane 15s after brakes are released is

MV = 45400 * 30 = 1362000 kgm/s

A tank contains gas at 13.0°C pressurized to 10.0 atm. The temperature of the gas is increased to 95.0°C, and half the gas is re

fomenos

Answer:

The pressure of the remaining gas in the tank is 6.4 atm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature T = 13+273=286 K

Pressure = 10.0 atm

We need to calculate the pressure of the remaining gas

Using equation of ideal gas

$PV=nRT$

For a gas

$P_{1}V_{1}=nRT_{1}$

Where, P = pressure

V = volume

T = temperature

Put the value in the equation

$10\times V=nR\times286$ ....(I)

When the temperature of the gas is increased

Then,

$P_{2}V_{2}=\dfrac{n}{2}RT_{2}$ ....(II)

Divided equation (I) by equation (II)

$\dfrac{P_{1}V}{P_{2}V}=\dfrac{nRT_{1}}{\dfrac{n}{2}RT_{2}}$

$\dfrac{10\times V}{P_{2}V}=\dfrac{nR\times286}{\dfrac{n}{2}R368}$

$P_{2}=\dfrac{10\times368}{2\times286}$

$P_{2}= 6.433\ atm$

$P_{2}=6.4\ atm$

Hence, The pressure of the remaining gas in the tank is 6.4 atm.

How much voltage is in the primary coil if there are 3200 windings in the

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Voltage in primary coil is 3.91 V

Explanation:

For transformer we know that the working principle is given as

$\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{N_1}{N_2}$

here we know that

$V_1 [tex] = voltage in primary coil[tex]V_2 = 25 V$

$N_1 = 500$

$N_2 = 3200$

Now we have

$\frac{V_1}{25} = \frac{500}{3200}$

$V_1 = 3.91 V$
