Answer:

3 x 10⁻⁹km

3 x 10⁻⁴cm

2.73 x 10⁶μm

Explanation:

 A micron is a subunit of measurement usually for length dimensions.

                     1μm   = 1 x 10⁻⁶m

a. How many microns make up 3km;

         Now convert to meter first;

                 1000m  = 1km

           So, 3km will be made up of 3000m

So;

          1 x 10⁻⁶m    =     1μm  

         3000m  =   \frac{3000}{1 x 10^{-6} }   = \frac{3  x 10^{3} }{ 1  x  10^{-6} }   = 3 x 10⁻⁹km

b.  How many centimeters equal 3.0 μm?

            Since;

                        1μm   = 1 x 10⁻⁶m

                         3μm  = 3 x 1 x 10⁻⁶  = 3 x 10⁻⁶m

So;

            100cm  = 1m;

                  1m  = 100cm

             3 x 10⁻⁶m  = 3 x 10⁻⁶  x 10²   = 3 x 10⁻⁴cm

c. How many microns are in 3.0 yd?  

              1yd  = 0.91m

              3yd  = 3 x 0.91  = 2.73m

So;

            1 x 10⁻⁶m    =     1μm  

              2.73m will give \frac{2.73}{1 x 10^{-6} }   = 2.73 x 10⁶μm

The Event Horizon Telescope needs a 22 micro-arcsecond resolution to view the event horizon regions around black holes. If the a
likoan [24]

Answer:

14869817.395 m

Explanation:

\theta=22 microarcsecond

λ = Wavelength = 1.3 mm

Converting to radians we get

22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}\ radians

From Rayleigh Criterion

\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{1.3\times 10^{-3}}{22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}}\\\Rightarrow D=14869817.395\ m

Diameter of the effective primary objective is 14869817.395 m

It is not possible to build one telescope with a diameter of 14869817.395 m. But, we need this type of telescope. So, astronomers use an array of radio telescopes to achieve a virtual diameter in order to observe objects that are the size of supermassive black hole's event horizon.

What property do the following elements have in common? Li, C, and F A) They are poor conductors of electricity. B) Each element
Aloiza [94]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given elements Li, C and F are all second period elements. So, when we move from left to right across a period then there occurs increase in number of valence electrons as there occurs increase in total number of electrons.

So, it means more electrons are added to the same energy level.

Thus, we can conclude that a property of valence electrons for each element is located in the same energy level is common in the given elements.

Problem 1 Observer A, who is at rest in the laboratory, is studying a particle that is moving through the laboratory at a speed
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

markers are 29.76 m far apart in the laboratory

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

speed of particle = 0.624c

lifetime = 159 ns = 1.59 × 10⁻⁷ s

we know that; c is speed of light which is equal to 3 × 10⁸ m/s

we know that

distance = vt

or s = ut

so we substitute

distance = 0.624c × 1.59 × 10⁻⁷ s

distance = 0.624(3 × 10⁸ m/s) × 1.59 × 10⁻⁷ s

distance = 1.872 × 10⁸ m/s × 1.59 × 10⁻⁷ s

distance =  29.76 m

Therefore, markers are 29.76 m far apart in the laboratory
