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.

Think about this hypothetical (not real) situation: Astronaut Dustin and Astronaut Barb are floating in space. The force of grav
Maslowich

The distance between Dustin and the planet is larger than the distance between Barb and the planet

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between each astronaut and the planet is given by

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where :

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

m is the mass of the astronaut

r is the separation between the astronaut and the planet

In this problem, we have:

  • The force of gravity between Dustin and the planet is 120,265 N
  • The force of gravity between Barb and the planet is 354,999 N

We see that the force exerted by the Planet on Barb is much greater than the force exerted by the planet on Dustin. Assuming that the mass of Dustin and Barb is similar, then we can say that the magnitude of the force of gravity depends mainly on the distance:

F=\frac{1}{r^2}

And since the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, this means that the distance between Dustin and the planet is larger than the distance between Barb and the planet.

1. What is the relationship between wavelength and the penetrating power of an electromagnetic wave?
Andreyy89

#1

As we know that energy of electromagnetic wave is given by

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

so here we know that penetrating power will directly depends on its energy and energy inversely depends on wavelength

So here we can say correct answer will be

C) The penetrating power decreases as the wavelength increases.

#2

Speed of sound is maximum in solids and minimum in gas

so here as ice melts into water the speed of sound must have to decrease

so correct answer will be

D) The speed of sound would decrease because sound travels faster through solids than liquids.

#3

mechanical waves required medium to travel while non mechanical waves do not require any medium to travel

so here correct answer will be

A) sound

The rocket is fired vertically and tracked by the radar station shown. When θ reaches 66°, other corresponding measurements give
Flauer [41]

Answer:

velocity = 1527.52 ft/s

Acceleration = 80.13 ft/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

Radius of rotation; r = 32,700 ft

Radial acceleration; a_r = r¨ = 85 ft/s²

Angular velocity; ω = θ˙˙ = 0.019 rad/s

Also, angle θ reaches 66°

So, velocity of the rocket for the given position will be;

v = rθ˙˙/cos θ

so, v = 32700 × 0.019/ cos 66

v = 1527.52 ft/s

Acceleration is given by the formula ;

a = a_r/sinθ

For the given position,

a_r = r¨ - r(θ˙˙)²

Thus,

a = (r¨ - r(θ˙˙)²)/sinθ

Plugging in the relevant values, we obtain;

a = (85 - 32700(0.019)²)/sin66

a = (85 - 11.8047)/0.9135

a = 80.13 ft/s²
