Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The astronaut will know due to the light from the explosion.

Explanation:

Sound and vibrations require a medium such as air to travel through. Space, there is no air. Only a vacuum. So sound and vibrations are unable to travel. Light requires no medium to travel. It can go through a vacuum.  

Therefore the Astronaut will see a bright flash of light as it travels from the explosion to outer space. It is also important to note that light can travel very far because nothing else interacts with its wave particles and as such, it cannot be impeded.

Cheers!

What is the driving force for (a) heat transfer, (b) electric current, and (c) fluid flow?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The driving force for (a) heat transfer is temperature difference. (b) electric current is voltage difference. (c) fluid flow is pressure or hydraulic head difference.

Explanation: (a) The driving force for heat transfer is temperature difference. Heat transfer between two mediums is possible only if the two mediums are at different temperature, the higher the temperature, the higher the heat transfer.

(b) The driving force for electric current is voltage difference. Voltage difference is defined as the potential difference in charge between two points in electrical field. For electric current to occur,the voltage must be high.

(c) The driving force for fluid flow is pressure difference or hydraulic head difference. For fluid to move upward,it requires energy.

) A satellite of mass m has an orbital period T when it is in a circular orbit of radius R around the earth. If the satellite in
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

A) T.

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the orbital period (T) of a satellite is related with the radius (R) and the mass of the object (M) it orbits:

T=\frac{2\pi R^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}  

So the orbital period is independent of the mass of the satellite, that means no matter the mass every satellite at a radius R around the earth have an orbital period A.

The two pucks of equal mass did not move linearly (they came to a stop) after the collision due to the conservation of linear mo
weeeeeb [17]

Compared to the pucks given, the pair of pucks will rotate at the same rate.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The law of conservation of the angular momentum expresses that when no outer torque follows upon an article, no difference in angular momentum will happen.  At the point when an item is turning in a shut framework and no outside torques are applied to it, it will have no change in angular momentum.

The conservation of the angular momentum clarifies the angular quickening of an ice skater as she brings her arms and legs near the vertical rotate of revolution.  In the event, that the net torque is zero, at that point angular momentum is steady or saved.  

By twice the mass yet keeping the speeds unaltered, also twice the angular momentum's to the two-puck framework.  Be that as it may, we likewise double the moment of inertia. Since L=I \times \omega, the turning rate of the two-puck framework must stay unaltered.

Write a note on unity of ant​
Tom [10]

Answer: When a pathogen enters their colony, ants change their behavior to avoid the outbreak of disease. In this way, they protect the queen, brood and young workers from becoming ill. These results, from a study carried out in collaboration between the groups of Sylvia Cremer at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) and of Laurent Keller at the University of Lausanne, are published today in the journal Science.

Explanation: search for it.

A monochromatic light beam is incident on a barium target that has a work function of 2.50 \mathrm{eV} . If a potential differen
leva [86]

The wavelength of the light beam required to turn back all the ejected electrons is 497 nm which is option (b).

  • Work function is a material property defined as the minimum amount of energy  required to infinitely remove electrons from the surface of a particular solid.
  • The potential difference required to support all emitted electrons is called the stopping potential which is given by v_0=\frac{K.E_m_a_x}{e} .....(1)
  • where v_0 is the stopping potential and e is the charge of the electron given by 1.6\times10^-^1^9 .

It is given that work function (Ф) of monochromatic light is 2.50 eV.

Einstein photoelectric equation  is given by:

K.E_m_a_x=E-\phi      ....(2)

where K.E(max) is the maximum kinetic energy.

Substituting (1) into (2) , we get

  ev_0=E-\phi\\1.6\times10^{-19} \times1=E-2.50\\E=1.6\times10^{-19}+2.50\\E=2.50eV

As we know that E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}  ....(3)

where Speed of light,c = 3\times10^8 m/s and Planck's constant , h = 6.63\times 10^-^1^9Js = 4.14\times 10^-^1^5 eVs

From equation (3) , we get

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E} \\\\\lambda=\frac{  4.14\times 10^-^1^5 \times 3 \times10^8}{2.50} \\\\\lambda=\frac{1240\times10^-^9}{2.50} \\\\\lambda=496.8\times10^-^9\\\\\lambda=497nm
