An apparatus is used to prepare an atomic beam by heating a collection of atoms to a temperature T and allowing the beam to emer

ge through a hole of diameter d in one side of the oven. The beam then travels through a straight path of length L. Show that the uncertainty principle causes the diameter of the beam at the end of the path to bt larger than d by an amount of order Lh/d Squareroot 3mkT, where m is the mass of an atom.

Explain how a star's absorption spectrum and the concept of red shift help support the Big Bang Theory.
marta [7]

Answer:

Red shift supports the big bang theory. ... The light from distant galaxies is red shifted (this tells us the galaxies are moving away from us) and the further away the galaxy the greater the red shift (this tells us that the more distant the galaxy the faster it is moving). Constellations look like they are moving because earth is rotating on it's axis.

A tugboat tows a ship at a constant velocity. The tow harness consists of a single tow cable attached to the tugboat at point A
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The tensions in T_{BC} is approximately 4,934.2 lb and the tension in T_{BD} is approximately  6,035.7 lb

Explanation:

The given information are;

The angle formed by the two rope segments are;

The angle, Φ, formed by rope segment BC with the line AB extended to the center (midpoint) of the ship = 26.0°

The angle, θ, formed by rope segment BD with the line AB extended to the center (midpoint) of the ship = 21.0°

Therefore, we have;

The tension in rope segment BC = T_{BC}

The tension in rope segment BD = T_{BD}

The tension in rope segment AB = T_{AB} = Pulling force of tugboat = 1200 lb

By resolution of forces acting along the line A_F gives;

T_{BC} × cos(26.0°) + T_{BD} × cos(21.0°) = T_{AB} = 1200 lb

T_{BC} × cos(26.0°) + T_{BD} × cos(21.0°) = 1200 lb............(1)

Similarly, we have for equilibrium, the sum of the forces acting perpendicular to tow cable = 0, therefore, we have;

T_{BC} × sin(26.0°) + T_{BD} × sin(21.0°) = 0...........................(2)

Which gives;

T_{BC} × sin(26.0°) = - T_{BD} × sin(21.0°)

T_{BC} = - T_{BD} × sin(21.0°)/(sin(26.0°))  ≈ - T_{BD} × 0.8175

Substituting the value of, T_{BC}, in equation (1), gives;

- T_{BD} × 0.8175 × cos(26.0°) + T_{BD} × cos(21.0°) = 1200 lb

- T_{BD} × 0.7348  + T_{BD} ×0.9336 = 1200 lb

T_{BD} ×0.1988 = 1200 lb

T_{BD} ≈ 1200 lb/0.1988 = 6,035.6938 lb

T_{BD} ≈ 6,035.6938 lb

T_{BC} ≈ - T_{BD} × 0.8175 = 6,035.6938 × 0.8175 = -4934.1733 lb

T_{BC} ≈ -4934.1733 lb

From which we have;

The tensions in T_{BC} ≈ -4934.2 lb and  T_{BD} ≈ 6,035.7 lb.

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Deductive

Explanation:

Deductive reasoning or logic is the form of logic where the reasoning process from which the conclusion is reached is based on one or more premises. Deductive logic, is a top down logic, where premises are linked with conclusion, such that true premises give a true conclusion which is reached by a process of narrowing the focus based on certainty

The question bases the conclusion on the premise that the Big Bang theory which is based on scientific evidence is several billions of years old and if the theory is correct the universe <em>(as it is today)</em> was not created six days

Two water jets are emerging from a vessel at a height of 50 centimeters and 100 centimeters. If their horizontal velocities at t
givi [52]
For t1:

t1 = square root of 2h1 / g = square root of 2 * 0.5 / 9.8 = 0.319 sec

For t2:

t2 = sqaure root of 2h2 / g = square root of 2 * 1.0 / 9.8 = 0.451 sec

Wherein:
t = time(s) for the vertical movement
h= height
g = gravity (using the standard 9.8 m/sec measurement)

d1 = 1*0.319 = 0.319 m
d2 = 0.5 * 0.451 = 0.225 m

Where:

d = hor. distance

ratio = d1:d2
= 0.319 : 0.225
=3.19 : 2.25

The answer is 3.19 : 2.25
