Answer:

Explanation:

As we know that universe is not constant, it is expanding from a very long time.

Scientist and astronomers have been working for a very long time to know the age of universe and for how long it has been expanding. This can be determined by  calculating the age of rocks and objects found in universe.

The decay rate and the emission of radioactive elements also give us information about the expansion of universe.

The expansion rate can also be determined by a number called as hubble constant. Astronomers determine the regulation of dark energy.

A low density matter in universe is older, hence all these factors tells us about the expansion of universe and its age.

Not only astronomers, but all scientists use the technique of rock dating to determine the age of the universe. From the Big Bang Theory, all the celestial bodies were made at the same time. So, the age of the Earth is just the same with the age of the universe. So, they gather rocks deep down in the crust of the Earth and let it undergo radioactive decay. By determining the amount of radioactive material left and half-life, they could compute the age of the Earth.

Complete the paragraph to compare Uranus and Neptune.
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Uranus and Neptun are outer planets od the Solar system, since they are located after the asteroid belt. All of these outer planets are much larger then the inner ones so they are called the "ice giants". The other reason for this name is that they are very far from the Sun, so their temperature is low. Another feature they have in common is their atmosphere which is composed of gases, including methane, which is responsible for their blue color, since methane absorbs red light. However Neptune is known for very fast winds and storms in its atmosphere which is responsible for its high activity and changes.

So, the blanks should be filled with:

Sun

methane

Neptune

outer planets

The reason why your body goes right and the car car goes left is because your body tries to stay where it was, which is on the right. Your upper body doesn't feel a force and because of that continues in the same direction. Your lower half is pulled out from under you by seat friction to the left, leaving you leaning to the right.

Technician A says that the cooling system should be tested for leaks using a pressure-operated pressure pump. Technician B says
mart [117]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Technician A only

Explanation:

Leaks in the cooling system parts such as the radiator cap can be tested with a pressure operated hand pump by attaching the pump cap to the pump with an adaptor and apply pressure enough for there to be a release of pressure at the cap.

The pressure added to the system should be maintained for up to two minutes. If the pressure drops quicker, then there is likely to be leaks in the system

The freezing and boiling point of the coolant is measured with an antifreeze tester which carries the appropriate apparatus to measure the coolants freezing and boiling points.
