1 answer:
Rzqust [24]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

d. changing refractive index of gases in the atmosphere

Explanation:

light from a star passes through the atmosphere to reach our eyes. however, the layers of gases in the atmosphere are in constant motion, so the light gets bent and appears to be flickering.

i hope this helps! :D

A object of mass 33 is dropped from a height of 85 meters. Calculate the average power developed by the object in falling throug
DochEvi [55]
Power  =  Work done  /  Time taken.

Work done =  mgh
Mass, m = 33kg    ( Am presuming it is 33 kg).
h =  85 m.
Work done =  33 * 9.81* 85 =  27517.05  J.

Time taken.
Since object was dropped from height, it fell under gravity.
Using    H =  ut  +  (1/2) * gt^2.              u = 0.
               H =  1/2 gt^2.
               t  =   (2H/g) ^ (1/2)
               t  =  (2*85/9.81) ^ 0.5 =  4.1628 s.

Power  =    27517.05 / 4.1628 = 6610.23 Watts.
             =  6610 W  to  3 S. f.

A mass on a spring is first placed on a table and set in SHM and then held vertically and set in SHM. What variable/s would chan
alisha [4.7K]

The variable that changes is the period of the motion.

<h3>What is simple harmonic motion?</h3>

The term simple harmonic motion refers to a regular repeating motion. The acceleration of the SHM is always directed towards the center. The spring is an example of a system undergoing simple harmonic motion.

From the description in the question, the variable that changes is the period of the motion.

A circular hole in an aluminum plate is 2.739 cm in diameter at 0.000°C. What is the change in its diameter when the temperature
prisoha [69]

Answer:

L = 2.746 cm

Explanation:

As we know that thermal expansion coefficient of aluminium is given as

\alpha = 24 \times 10^{-6} per ^oC

now we also know that after thermal expansion the final length is given as

L = L_o(1 + \alpha \Delta T)

here we know that

L_o = 2.739 cm

\alpha = 24 \times 10^{-6}

\Delta T = 108 - 0= 108^oC

now we will have

L = 2.739(1 + 24 \times 10^{-6} (108))

L = 2.746 cm

What can be inferred when an atom is electrically charged?
Elena-2011 [213]

When an atom becomes electrically charged the number of electrons or protons stops and they are not equal again. The "extra" electron or proton is not balanced by something inside the atom any longer and it starts attracting itself to othet protons or electrons in other atoms.

<h3>What is atomic structure?</h3>

An atomic structure comprises of positively charged nucleus which is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electron and neutron which is neutral charged.

Unlike charges attract each other while like charges repel each other.

Therefore, When an electron is fully charged, the number of electrons will stop to be unequal again.
