Answer:

Measure the brightness of a star through two filters and compare the ratio of red to blue light. Compare to the spectra of computer models of stellar spectra of different temperature and develop an accurate color-temperature relation.

A 1200-kg car traveling initially with a speed of 25.0 m/s in an easterly direction crashes into the rear end of a 9,000-kg truc
UNO [17]

Answer

given,

mass of car (m) = 1200 Kg

speed of cur, u = 25 m/s

mass of truck(M) = 9000 Kg

speed of truck, u' = 20 m/s

v = 18 m/s

a) using conservation of momentum

m u + M u' = m v + M v'

1200 x 25 + 9000 x 20 = 1200 x 18 + 9000 x v'

9000 v' = 188400

v' = 20.93 m/s

b) To calculate losses, we will find the kinetic energies before & after collision. Any difference would give us the losses (in energy form).

(K E)₁= (K E)₂+ Losses

losses = (K E)₂ -  (K E)₁

           =\dfrac{1}{2}(mv^2 + Mv'^2)- \dfrac{1}{2}(mu^2 + Mu'^2)

           =\dfrac{1}{2}(1200 \times18^2 +9000 \times 20.93^2)- \dfrac{1}{2}(1200 \times 25^2 +9000\times 20^2)

           =9038 J

Check the correctness of given equation<br> s = ut + (1/2)at^2
ruslelena [56]

Lets use Dimensional analysis.

\\ \sf\longmapsto s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

<h3>LHS:-</h3>

\\ \sf\longmapsto s=\left[M^0LT^0\right]

<h3>RHS</h3>

\\ \sf\longmapsto ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto \left[M^0LT^{-1}\right]\left[M^0L^0T^1\right]+\dfrac{1}{2}\left[M^0LT^{-2}\right]\left[M^0L^0T^1\right]^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto L+\dfrac{1}{2}\left[LT^{-2}\right]\left[T^2\right]

\\ \sf\longmapsto L+\dfrac{1}{2}L

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{2L}{2}

\\ \sf\longmapsto [L^1]

\\ \sf\longmapsto \left[M^0LT^0\right]

LHS=RHS

Hence verified

Match the theory to the statement that best describes it. 1. big bang. 2. steady state. 3.osscillating universe. 4. inflation Ch
Gre4nikov [31]

Explanation :

(1) Big bang : (1) The most accepted theory on the origin of the universe.

This theory shows the expanding of the universe from high density and high-temperature states.

(2) Steady state : (3) All is the same and will always stay the same.

Steady state means that the properties of any system remain the same always.

(3) Oscillating universe : (4) Agrees with the big bang theory but insists the universe expanded much quicker.

Oscillating universe theory is the result of big bang theory.

(4) Inflation Choices : (2) it's like an inflating and deflating balloon that never stops.  

In cosmology, cosmic inflation or deflation is just the expanding and contraction of the universe.

So, the statements and the choices are related as:

               (1)-(1)

              (2)- (3)

               (3)-(4)

               (4)-(2)
