Infrared telescopes are usually placed on high-flying airplanes or on satellites in space __________

Physics
1 answer:
Yuliya22 [10]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

In order to improve visibility

Explanation:

Infrared telescopes are made using infrared cameras that contain infrared detectors which are solid-state and are maintained at very cold (cryogenic) temperatures

Infrared radiation is absorbed by water vapor which is present in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the limitation of the use of infra red telescopes at high altitudes such as mountains, high flying planes or satellites

The boom of a fire truck raises a fireman (and his equipment – total weight 280 lbs) 60 ft into the air to fight a building fire
Simora [160]

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 280 lbs

Height = 60 ft

Power = 3.50 hp

(a). We need to calculate the work done by the boom on the fireman

Using formula of work done

Work\ done =Weight\ \times height

W'=W\times h

Put the value into the formula

W'=280\times60

W'= 16800 ftlbf

W'=\dfrac{16800}{778.169}

W'=21.59\ Btu

The work done by the boom is 21.59 Btu.

(b). We know that,

1 hp = 550 ft lbf

So, P = 3.50\times550

P=1925\ ft-lbf/s

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

t = \dfrac{W}{P}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{16800}{1925}

t =8.7\ sec

The time is 8.7 sec.

Hence, This is the required solution.

A(n) ________ is a thick accumulation of sediments and small tectonic blocks formed of material scraped off subducting oceanic l
diamong [38]

C) accretionary-wedge complex.

Explanation:

The accretionary wedge complex is a thick accumulation of sediments and small tectonic blocks formed from materials scraped off subducting oceanic lithosphere at a convergent margin.

Space between the subducting plate and the less dense plate gets filled by sediments scraped off the subducting plate and this forms a wedge like sediment called the accretionary wedge.

  • The accretionary wedge is invariably made up of materials found on the ocean floor.
  • Under extreme conditions, some parts of wedge transforms into metamorphic rocks.
  • The wedge is made up of: pelagic sediments, ocean floor basalts e.t.c

Calculate the average drift speed of electrons traveling through a copper wire with a crosssectional area of 80 mm2 when carryin
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 2.8*10^{-5}ms^{-1}

Explanation:

The formula for the electron drift speed is given as follows,

u=I/nAq

where n is the number of of electrons per unit m³, q is the charge on an electron and A is the cross-sectional area of the copper wire and I is the current. We see that we already have A , q and I. The only thing left to calculate is the electron density n that is the number of electrons per unit volume.

Using the information provided in the question we can see that the number of moles of copper atoms in a cm³ of volume of the conductor is 8.93/63.5 molcm^{-3}. Converting this number to m³ using very elementary unit conversion we get 140384molm^{-3}. If we multiply this number by the Avagardo number which is the number of atoms per mol of any gas , we get the number of atoms per m³ which in this case is equal to the number of electron per m³ because one electron per atom of copper contribute to the current. So we get,

n=140384*6.02*10^{23} = 8.45*10^{28}electrons.m^{-3}

if we convert the area from mm³ to m³ we get A=80*10^{-6}m^{2}.So now that we have n, we plug in all the values of A ,I ,q and n into the main equation to obtain,

u=30/(8.45*10^{28}*80*10^{-6}*1.602*10^{-19})\\u=2.8*10^{-5}m.s^{-1}

which is our final answer.

taurus [48]
Ca(NO3)2(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) → 2NaNO3 + CaCO3⬇. NaNO3 is solution so CaCO3 is the precipitate formed.

a certain projetor uses a concave mirror for projecting an object's image on a screen .it produces on image that is 4 times bigg
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

f = 1 m

Explanation:

The magnification of the lens is given by the formula:

M = \frac{q}{p}

where,

M = Magnification = 4

q = image distance = 5 m

p = object distance = ?

Therefore,

4 = \frac{5\ m}{p}\\\\p = \frac{5\ m}{4}\\\\p = 1.25\ m

Now using thin lens formula:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{1.25\ m}+\frac{1}{5\ m}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = 1\ m^{-1}\\\\

<u>f = 1 m</u>
