How does weak background radiation coming from every direction in the sky support the big bang theory
postnew [5]

Answer:

Option 1

It provides evidence of universe expansion

Explanation:

The Big Bang Theory actually explains the universe as originating from a single point, which expanded as billions of years went by.

The background radiation supports this theory in the sense that if the universe is expanding, this means that the universe is cooling and continuously losing heat, which results in background radiation

a car drives 40 miles east, turns around, then drives 30 miles west. (a) Find the distance traveled by the car. (b) find the car
Dovator [93]

Part A)

Distance is given as sum of total path length

So here as we are given that car drives 40 miles East and 30 miles West

So here the total path length is

Distance = 40 miles + 30 miles

distance = 70 miles

Part B)

Displacement is given as straight line distance between initial and final position

So here we can see that

d_1 = 40 miles East

d_2 = 30 miles West

Now the total displacement will be

d = d_1 - d_2 = 40 - 30 = 10 miles

<u><em>so the displacement will be 10 miles East</em></u>

What type of decay has the release of electromagnetic energy from the nucleus and has the most penatrating power through other s
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Gamma decay

Explanation:

There are 3 types of radioactive decay:

- Alpha decay: in this decay, a nucleus emits an alpha particle (consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, so a nucleus of helium). The alpha particle has a large charge (2e) and a large mass (4u), so it is strongly ionizing, and therefore loses energy faster while moving through matter, therefore its penetrating power is low (it can be easily stopped by a thin sheet of paper or by the skin)

- Beta decay: this decay occurs when a neutron in a nucleus turns into a proton, emitting a beta particle (a fast-moving electron) alongside with an antineutrino. The beta particle has a lower charge (e) and a smaller mass than the alpha particle, so it has a moderate penetrating power, being able to penetrate more than the alpha particle (the beta particle can be stopped by a thin sheet of aluminium)

- Gamma decay: this decay occurs when an excited nucleus decays emitting a gamma ray photon (which is electromagnetic energy with very high energy and frequency). The gamma ray photon has no charge and no mass, therefore it has the most penetrating power, being able to travel a much large distance before being absorbed by matter (several metres of concrete are required to stop gamma radiation.

So, the description in the question refers to gamma decay.

Two 0.55-kg basketballs, each with a radius of 19 cm , are just touching. You may want to review (Pages 399 - 401) . Part A How
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

      ΔU = - 9,179 10-11 J

Explanation:

For this exercise the two basketballs are linked by gravitational interaction, so we can use gravitational energy

               U = - G m₁m₂ / R

In this case the mass is equal and the initial distance is r₁ = 19 cm = 0.19 m

               U₁ = - G m² / r₁

let's calculate

              U₁ = - 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 0.55² / 0.19

              U₁ = - 10,619 10⁻¹¹ J

when its centers are separated it is at r₂ = 1.4 m

              U₂ = - 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 0.55² / 1.4

              U₂ = - 1.44 10-11 J

the energy between these two points is

          ΔU = U₂ - U₁

          ΔU = (-1.44 +10.619) 10-11

          ΔU = - 9,179 10-11 J

Which statement best describes a difference between the trachea and the esophagus?
Usimov [2.4K]

The trachea allows for the passage of air, and the esophagus allows for the passage of food

Answer: Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The trachea and the esophagus are not the same. The former is related with the respiratory system which is related with breathing while the latter is related with the digestive system.

The trachea connects the upper airways to the lungs for the passing of the air but the esophagus is related with the passage of the food connecting the mouth with the stomach.
