One of the ways that scientists determine the distance between Earth and other objects in space is to send light waves toward an

object and measure how long it takes for the waves to bounce back. If a scientist sends light waves to four different objects in space, which of the following will take the longest to bounce the wave back to Earth?
a star in the Milky Way Galaxy


a star in the Andromeda Galaxy


a planet in Earth's Solar System


a planet in another star system within the Milky Way Galaxy

Answer:

a star in andromeda

Explanation:

all of the other objects are in the milkyway (where we are) and the andromeda galaxy is 2 million light years away from us

A. A light wave moves through glass (n=1.5) at an angle of 25°. What angle will it have when it moves from the glass into air (n
torisob [31]

PART A)

By Snell's law we know that

n_1sin i = n_2 sin r

here we know that

n_1 = 1.5

i = 25 degree

n_2 = 1

now from above equation we have

1.5 sin25 = 1 sin r

r = 39.3 degree

so it will refract by angle 39.3 degree

PART B)

Here as we can see that image formed on the other side of lens

So it is a real and inverted image

Also we can see  that size of image is lesser than the size of object here

Here we can use concave mirror to form same type of real and inverted image

PART C)

As per the mirror formula we know that

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{60} = \frac{1}{20}

d_i = 30 cm

so image will form at 30 cm from mirror

it is virtual image and smaller in size

The weight of an astronaut plus his space suit on the Moon is only 250 N. (a) How much does the suited astronaut weigh on Earth?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a)1500N

b)153.06kg

Explanation:

F = ma

g(moon) = is the acceleration due to gravity on the moon

g(earth) is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth

g(moon) = 1/6g(earth)

g(earth) =6g(moon)

F(gearth) = mg(earth)

               = m 6g(moon)

               = 6 × 250

               = 1500N

b) F(gearth) = mg(earth)

m = F /g

 = 1500/9.8

 = 153.06kg

<h3>What is an equation of motion?</h3>

Physicists use equations of motion to describe how a physical system behaves in terms of how its motion changes over time.

The behavior of a physical system is described by the equations of motion in more detail as a collection of mathematical functions expressed in terms of dynamic variables. These variables typically comprise time and spatial coordinates, but they could also have momentum components. The most flexible option is generalized coordinates, which can be any useful variable that is a component of the physical system. In classical mechanics, the functions are defined in a Euclidean space, while curved spaces are used in relativity instead. The equations are the answers to the differential equations describing the motion of the dynamics of the dynamics of a system are known. The amount of motion changes according to the strength of the force and does so in the direction of the force's applied straight line.
