What is general relativity

Physics
1 answer:
juin [17]3 years ago
5 0
General relativity is a theory of space and time. The theory was published by Albert Einstein in 1915. The central idea of general relativity is that space and time are two aspects of spacetime. Spacetime is curved when there is gravity, matter, energy, and momentum.

Define valence electrons
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

In chemistry and physics, a valence electron is an outer shell electron with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

Metals such as aluminum can be formed into thin sheets because they are
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

They are malleable.

Explanation:

Malleability is the property of metals that causes them to be able to be formed into thin sheets without breaking.

All metals are malleable.

The reason why metals are malleable is because the atoms in the metals have a stable structure and hence, when beaten, the atoms can move freely among each other and maintain their structure.

A model rocket fired vertically from the ground ascends with a constant vertical acceleration of 52.7 m/s2 for 1.41 s. its fuel
olya-2409 [2.1K]
For rectilinear motions, derived formulas all based on Newton's laws of motion are formulated. The equation for acceleration is

a = (v2-v1)/t, where v2 and v1 is the final and initial velocity of the rocket. We know that at the end of 1.41 s, the rocket comes to a stop. So, v2=0. Then, we can determine v1.

-52.7 = (0-v1)/1.41
v1 = 74.31 m/s

We can use v1 for the formula of the maximum height attained by an object thrown upwards:

Hmax = v1^2/2g = (74.31^2)/(2*9.81) = 281.42 m

The maximum height attained by the model rocket is 281.42 m.

For the amount of time for the whole flight of the model rocket, there are 3 sections to this: time at constant acceleration, time when it lost fuel and reached its maximum height and the time for the free fall.

Time at constant acceleration is given to be 1.41 s. Time when it lost fuel covers the difference of the maximum height and the distance travelled at constant acceleration.

2ax=v2^2-v1^2
2(-52.7)(x) = 0^2-74.31^2
x =52.4 m (distance it covered at constant acceleration)
Then. when it travels upwards only by a force of gravity,
d = v1(t) + 1/2*a*t^2
281.42-52.386 = (0)^2+1/2*(9.81)(t^2)
t = 6.83 s (time when it lost fuel and reached its maximum height)

Lastly, for free falling objects, the equation is
t = √2y/g = √2(281.42)/9.81 = 7.57 s

Therefore, the total time= 1.41+6.83+7.57 = 15.81 s

A Decay Chain
Strike441 [17]

Answer : The energy released in first step of thorium-232 decay chain is 7.974\times 10^{-13}J

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass defect (\Delta m).

The balanced reaction is,

^{232}Th\rightarrow ^{228}Ra+^{4}He

Mass defect = Sum of mass of product - sum of mass of reactants

\Delta m=(\text{Mass of Ra}+\text{Mass of He})-(\text{Mass of Th})

\Delta m=(228.0301069+4.002602)-(232.038054)=5.34\times 10^{-3}amu=8.86\times 10^{-30}kg

conversion used : (1amu=1.66\times 10^{-27}kg)

Now we have to calculate the energy released.

Energy=\Delta m\times (c)^2

Energy=(8.86\times 10^{-30}kg)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)^2

Energy=7.974\times 10^{-13}J

The energy released is 7.974\times 10^{-13}J

Therefore, the energy released in first step of thorium-232 decay chain is 7.974\times 10^{-13}J
