<u>Answer</u>:

The primary method by which the planets have been found around other stars in the galaxy is Kepler Space Telescope.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The primary method by which planets have been found around other stars in our beautiful Galaxy is the Kepler space telescope. Kepler launched Kepler Telescope in 2009 to help to find terrestrial planets super-earth etc.

This is the telescope which measures the amount of light coming from a star and detects a slight variation in brightness as a planet passes in front. Using this technique NASA's Kepler Mission has founded thousands of candidate planet in this world.

Answer:

15193.62 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 6.5 hours

u = Initial velocity = 0 (Assumed)

m = Mass of rocket = 1380 kg

F = Thrust force = 896 N

v = Final velocity

a = Acceleration of the rocket

Force

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{896}{1380}\\\Rightarrow a=0.6493\ m/s^2$

Equation of motion

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+0.6493\times 6.5\times 60\times 60\\\Rightarrow v=15193.62\ m/s$

The velocity of the rocket after 6.5 hours of thrust is 15193.62 m/s

A sinusoidal wave traveling on a string has a period of 0.20 s, a wavelength of 32 cm, and an amplitude of 3 cm. The speed of th

Finger [1]

Answer:

$v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}$

Explanation:

If we have a periodic wave we need to satisfy the following basic relationship:

$v = \lambda f$

From the last formula we see that the velocity is proportional fo the frequency.

For this case we have the following info given by the problem:

$T= 0.2 s, \lambda =32 cm* \frac{1m}{100cm} =0.32 m, A= 3cm*\frac{1m}{100 cm}=0.03 m$

We know that the frequency is the reciprocal of the period so we have this formula:

$f = \frac{1}{T}$

And if we replace we got:

$f =\frac{1}{0.2 s}= 5Hz$

Now since we have the value for the wavelength we can find the velocity like this:

$v = 0.32 m * 5Hz = 1.6 \frac{m}{s}$

And if we convert this into cm/s we got:

$v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}$

Can someone please describe surface tension to me. Please don't give me the dictionary definition. Thank you

Surface tension - My definition -

It's exactly what it says - The tension of a surface with a liquid (such as water), caused by the attraction of the surfaces layer ---- I hope this helps ---- I actually did research it and got some of this from a dictionary, but I changed some of it, too.... Sorry if this doesn't help :)
