Answer:
The correct answer is B.
The astronaut will know due to the light from the explosion.
Explanation:
Sound and vibrations require a medium such as air to travel through. Space, there is no air. Only a vacuum. So sound and vibrations are unable to travel. Light requires no medium to travel. It can go through a vacuum.
Therefore the Astronaut will see a bright flash of light as it travels from the explosion to outer space. It is also important to note that light can travel very far because nothing else interacts with its wave particles and as such, it cannot be impeded.

Answer:
(a) = -0.16%
(b) = smaller
Explanation:
given
power = 460 W
potential difference = 120 V
(a) what percentage will its heat output drop if the applied potential difference drops to 110 V ?
we know
.....................(i)
we need to find change in power
..............(ii)
from equations we get



(b)
if we increase temperature resistance will increase and decrease with decrease in temperature and we know power is inversely proportional to resistance so if potential decrease and it would cause drop in power
and due to this increment of heating power resistance will decrease so actual drop in the power would be smaller
The energy stored by a system of capacitors is given by

where Ceq is the equivalent capacitance of the system, and V is the voltage applied.
In the formula, we can see there is a direct proportionality between U and C. This means that if we want to increase the energy stored by 4 times, we have to increase C by 4 times, if we keep the same voltage.
Calling

the capacitance of the original capacitor, we can solve the problem by asking that, adding a new capacitor with

, the new equivalent capacitance of the system

must be equal to

. If we add the new capacitance X in parallel, the equivalent capacitance of the new system is the sum of the two capacitance

and since Ceq must be equal to 4 C1, we can write

from which we find
