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!

A 20 m high filled water tank develops a 0.50 cm hole in the vertical wall near the base. With what speed does the water shoot o
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The speed of the water shoot out of the hole is 20 m/s.

(d) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 20 m

We need to calculate the velocity

Using formula Bernoulli equation

\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2+\rho gh_{1}=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2+\rho gh_{2}

Where,

v₁= initial velocity

v₂=final velocity

h₁=total height

h₂=height of the hole from the base

Put the value into the formula

v_{1}^2=2g(h_{2}-h_{1})

v_{1}=\sqrt{2g(h_{2}-h_{1})}

v_{1}=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times(20-0.005)}

v_{1}=19.7\ m/s= approximate\ 20\ m/s

Hence, The speed of the water shoot out of the hole is 20 m/s.

Cavendish used the attraction between large and small lead balls to measure an experimental value for the gravitational constant
irina1246 [14]

The gravitational constant was experimentally measured by W Cavendish using the attraction between big and small lead balls. is true

The correct answer is true

<h3>How do you define gravitational constant?</h3>

the strength of gravity. a factor in use in Newton's gravity law to relate the strength of the gravitational pull between two bodies with their masses and distance from one another. 6.67259 X 10-11 newtons per square kilogram is roughly the gravitational constant. G is its identifier.

<h3> where is the strongest gravity is?</h3>

The gravitational pull of the earth is greatest near sea level, normally, and weakens as you get further from the center, such as to the summit of Mt. Everest. Because the obloid earth was slightly wider, but only by a minor ratio, the gravity just at poles is stronger than that at the equator.
