An astronomy class is so excited by the discovery of planets around other stars that they decide to do a library exhibit on the

subject so that everyone in the school can learn about it. In this exhibit they want to pay tribute to both the astronomers of today who have done the work AND some of the scientists of the past whose work was essential to making the discoveries possible (and directly related to the techniques involved). Which of the following scientists of the past should definitely be included in the exhibit?
a. George Herbigâ
b. Ejnar Hertzsprungâ
c. Ptolemyâ
d. Gerard Kuiperâ
e. Christian Dopplerâ

Answer: e. Christian Dopplerâ

Explanation:

Based on the information given, the scientist of the past that should definitely be included in the exhibit is Christian Dopplera.

He described how the frequency of sound waves and light is being affected by the relative speed of both the source and also the observer. This was referred to as the Doppler effect.

In this scenario, the Doppler effect can be used to show how the universe is expanding. Therefore, the correct option is E.

For a given Prandtl-Meyer expansion, the upstream Mach number is 3 and the pressure ratio across the wave is P2/P1 = 0.4. Calcul
loris [4]

Answer:

The angle for the forward Mach line is 19.47°

The angle for the rearward Mach line is 5.21°

Explanation:

From table A-1 (Modern Compressible Flow: with historical perspective):

\frac{P_{o} }{P_{1} } =36.73 (M₁ = 3)

If Po₁ = Po₂

\frac{P_{o2} }{P_{2} } =\frac{P_{o1} }{P_{1} } *\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } =36.73*\frac{1}{4} =91.825

Table A-1:

\frac{P_{o2} }{P_{2} } =91.825,M_{2} =3.63

Table A-5:

v₁ = 49.76°

μ₁ = 19.47°

v₂ = 60.55°

μ₂ = 16°

θ = 60.55 - 49.76 = 10.79°

The angle for the forward Mach line is:

μ₁ = 19.47°

The angle for the rearward Mach line is:

θr = μ₂ - θ = 16 - 10.79 = 5.21°

If fire needs oxygen to burn, where does the sun get oxygen if there is no oxygen in space?​
elena55 [62]

Answer:

through nuclear fusion

Explanation:

The burning of the sun is not chemical combustion. It is nuclear fusion. This combustion releases energy which we experience as the heat and light given off by the flame.

A 3-kg wheel with a radius of 35 cm is spinning in the horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its center at 800 rev/s. A
Kruka [31]

Answer:

\omega_f = 585.37 \ rev/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of wheel(M) = 3 Kg

radius(r) = 35 cm

revolution (ω_i)=  800 rev/s

mass (m)= 1.1 Kg

I_{wheel} = Mr²

when mass attached at the edge

I' = Mr² + mr²

using conservation of angular momentum

I \omega_i = I' \omega_f

(Mr^2) \times 800 = ( M r^2 + m r^2) \omega_f

M\times 800 = ( M + m )\omega_f

3\times 800 = (3+1.1)\times \omega_f

2400 = (4.1)\times \omega_f

\omega_f = 585.37 \ rev/s

In order to sail through the frozen Arctic Ocean, the most powerful icebreaker ever built was constructed in the former Soviet U
professor190 [17]

Answer:

955.36 seconds ≈ 16 minutes

Explanation:

Power(P) is the rate of doing work(W)

That is, P = W/t, where t is the time.

multipying both sides with 't' and dividing with 'P', we get: t=W/P

Here, W = 5.35 x 10^10 J and P = 5.6 x 10^7 W ( 1 W = 1 J/s).

Therefore , on dividing W with P, we get 955.36 seconds.
