Imagine a place in the cosmos far from all gravitational and frictional influences. Suppose that you visit that place (just supp

ose) and throw a rock. What will the rock do? Why?

The rock will continue to travel in a straight line with a constant velocity for ever... The reason is, once it leaves your hand there is no force acting on the rock, so it will just continue to move in a natural motion which is constant velocity.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

6 gallons

Explanation:

At 30 mph, the fuel mileage is 25 mpg.

After 5 hours, the distance traveled is:

30 mi/hr × 5 hr = 150 mi

The amount of gas used is:

150 mi × (1 gal / 25 mi) = 6 gal

The maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180^\circ .

vlabodo [156]

Answer: $90\°$

Explanation:

The Compton Shift $\Delta \lambda$ in wavelength when the photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

$\Delta \lambda=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (1)

Where:

$\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m$ is a constant whose value is given by $\frac{h}{m_{e}c}$ , being $h$ the Planck constant, $m_{e}$ the mass of the electron and $c$ the speed of light in vacuum.

$\theta)$ the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.

We are told the maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through $180\°$ :

$\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos(180\°))$ (2)

$\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-(-1))$

$\Delta \lambda_{max}=2\lambda_{c}$ (3)

Now, let's find the angle that will produce a fourth of this maximum value found in (3):

$\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{4}2\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (4)

$\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (5)

If we want $\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}$ , $1-cos\theta$ must be equal to 1:

$1-cos\theta=1$ (6)

Finding $\theta$ :

$1-1=cos\theta$

$0=cos\theta$

$\theta=cos^{-1} (0)$

Finally:

$\theta=90\°$ This is the scattering angle that will produce $\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}$

From the center of the Earth to the moon, what should the orbital radius of such satellite be in order to stay over the same poi

yulyashka [42]

In order to have a period that matches the Earth's rotation, a satellite must be in a circular orbit, and 42,164 km from the center of the Earth.

But that's not quite enough to make sure that it always stays over the same point on the Earth's surface (and appears motionless in the sky). For that to happen, the satellite's orbit has to be directly over the Equator.

The Moon has nothing to do with any of this.

What are examples of devices that use electromagnetic waves? Check all that apply.

yKpoI14uk [10]

Well, there aren't actually ANY that apply, because you haven't listed any. But I've lived a long time, and I remember hearing about electromagnetic waves and things that use them, so I can list a FEW of them for you:

-- radios

-- TVs

-- garage-door openers

-- TV remotes

-- cell phones

-- smart phones

-- GPS

-- walkie-talkies

-- car headlights

-- lava lamps

-- toasters

-- LEDs

-- light bulbs

-- fluorescent light tubes

-- police radios

-- Doppler weather radars

-- CB radios

-- ham radios

-- neon signs

-- eyeglasses

-- microscopes

-- telescopes

-- gas stoves

-- electric stoves

-- wood stoves

-- microwave ovens

-- tanning beds

-- cameras

-- lasers

-- CD recorders and players

-- DVD recorders and players

-- Bluray recorders and players

-- movie cameras

-- movie projectors

-- reading lamps

-- candles

-- whale-oil lamps

-- kerosene lanterns

-- flashlights

-- campfires

-- coffee percolators

-- heat lamps

-- cordless phones

These are just the ones I can think of right now off the top of my head. There are a lot of others.
