What is a quasar made of?

Physics
1 answer:
vodomira [7]2 years ago
3 0

Answer: A quasar is an exceptionally bright active galactic nucleus (AGN) containing a supermassive black hole surrounded by a gaseous accretion disk with a mass ranging from millions to billions of times that of the Sun.

Explanation: Energy is emitted in the form of electromagnetic radiation when gas in the disk descends towards the black hole, which can be seen across the electromagnetic spectrum.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The correct option is D) Fission

Explanation:

There are several methods through which Radioactive isotopes are created.

  1. Using a nuclear reactor that has a field of neutrons, insert a stable sample such as Lutetium-176. When it gets bombarded with neutrons, it acquires some, and fission is said to have occurred. Note that when Lutetium-176 acquires a neutron, it becomes radioactive Lu-177.
  2. Fission is also used to create Fluorine-18. To obtain the same, you need to bombard pure or enriched [^{18} O] water with ~18 MeV protons which are high energy in nature. The bombarding is achieved using a cyclotron or an accelerator.

Your little sister is building a radio from scratch. Plans call for a 500 μH inductor wound on a cardboard tube. She brings you
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

N = 195 turns

Explanation:

The inductance of the inductor, L = 500 μH = 500 * 10⁻⁶H

The length of the tube, l = 12 cm = 0.12 m

The diameter of the tube, d = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Radius, r = 0.04/2 = 0.02 m

Area of the tube, A = πr² = 0.02²π = 0.0004π m²

\mu_{0} = 4\pi * 10^{-7}

The inductance of a solenoid is given by:

L = \frac{\mu_{0}N^{2} A }{l}

500 * 10^{-6} = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7}  N^{2} *4\pi  *10^{-4}  }{0.12}\\500 * 10^{-6} = 0.00000001316N^{2} \\N^{2} = \frac{500 * 10^{-6}}{0.00000001316}\\N^{2} = 37995.44\\N = \sqrt{37995.44} \\N = 194.92 turns

If a bullet travels at 593.0 m/s, what is its speed in miles per hour?
Ksenya-84 [330]

We have 1 \; mile = 1609.34\; meters. So, 1 \; meter = \frac{1}{1609.34} \;mile.

1 \; hour = 3600 \; s. So 1 \; s = \frac{1}{3600}  \; hour.

Thus we can convert the units of the given quantity.

That is,

593\;m/s=593\;\frac{1/1609.34}{1/3600} \;miles/hour\\
593\;m/s=1,326.51\;miles/hour.

The quantity is converted to the required units.

An electric field from a charge has a magnitude of 1.5 × 104 N/C at a certain location that points inward. If another charge wit
zysi [14]

Answer:

-0.045 N, they will attract each other

Explanation:

The strength of the electrostatic force exerted on a charge is given by

F=qE

where

q is the magnitude of the charge

E is the electric field magnitude

In this problem,

q=3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C

E=-1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C (negative because inward)

So the strength of the electrostatic force is

F=(-3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C)(1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C)=-0.045 N

Moreover, the charge will be attracted towards the source of the electric field. In fact, the text says that the electric field points inward: this means that the source charge is negative, so the other charge (which is positive) is attracted towards it.
