Answer:

1606

The main reason for using light years, however, is because the distances we deal with in space are immense. If we stick to miles or kilometers we quickly run into unwieldy numbers just measuring the distance to the nearest star: a dim red dwarf called Proxima Centauri that sits a mere 24,000,000,000,000 miles away!

Check all that are true about waterfalls
Lerok [7]
Waterfalls are created when a river flows following a descending rapid slope. The waterfall, then, flows from the source (where it starts) to the mouth (where it ends).
Waterfalls are created when the erosion of the rocks at the bottom of the slope is more powerful than the erosion of the rocks on the top.
After many years the water is able to erode the rocks on the top as well, and the waterfall slowly disappears.

Therefore the options that apply are:
b) waterfalls move towards their mouth;
c) the top or cap rock is resistant to erosion;
<span>f) waterfalls indicate a youthful river </span>

The gauge pressure at the bottom of a cylinder of liquid is 0.30atm. The liquid is poured into another cylinder with twice the r
likoan [24]

Answer:

P_g' = 0.075 atm

Explanation:

Gauge pressure at the bottom of the cylinder depends on the height of water in the cylinder

So here we can say that

P_g = \rho g h

now when liquid is filled to height "h" in base area "A" then gauge pressure of the liquid at the bottom is given as

P_g = 0.30 atm

now we put the whole liquid into another cylinder with twice radius of the first cylinder

So area becomes 4 times

now by volume conservation we can say that if area is increased by 4 times then height of liquid will decrease by 4 times

so we have

h' = \frac{h}{4}

so gauge pressure is given as

P_g' = \frac{0.30}{4} = 0.075 atm

A container with volume 1.64 L is initially evacuated. Then it is filled with 0.226 g of N2N
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

0.015 atm

Explanation:

The pressure of the gas can be calculated using Ideal Gas Law:

p = \frac{nRT}{V}

<u>Where:</u>

n: is the number of moles of the gas

R: is the gas constant = 0.082 L*atm/(K*mol)

V: is the volume of the container = 1.64 L

T: is the temperature

We need to find the number of moles and the temperature. The number of moles is:

n = \frac{m}{M}

<u>Where:</u>

M: is the molar mass of the N₂ = 14.007 g/mol*2 = 28.014 g/mol

m: is the mass of the gas = 0.226 g

n = \frac{0.226 g}{28.014 g/mol} = 8.07 \cdot 10^{-3} moles

Now, the temperature can be found using the following equation:

v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}    

<u>Where:</u>

R: is the gas constant = 0.082 L*atm/K*mol = 8.314 J/K*mol

v_{rms}: is the root-mean-square speed of the gas = 182 m/s

By solving the above equation for T, we have:

T = \frac{v_{rms}^{2}*M}{3R} = \frac{(182 m/s)^{2}*28.014 \cdot 10^{-3} Kg/mol}{3*8.314 J K^{-1}mol^{-1}} = 37.20 K        

Finally, we can find the pressure of the gas:

p = \frac{nRT}{V} = \frac{8.07 \cdot 10^{-3} mol*0.082 L*atm* K^{-1}*mol^{-1}*37.20 K}{1.64 L} = 0.015 atm

Therefore, the pressure of the gas is 0.015 atm.

I hope it helps you!

You want to photograph a circular diffraction pattern whose central maximum has a diameter of 1.0 cm. You have a helium-neon las
topjm [15]

Answer:

0.776 m far Pinhole should be placed before the viewing screen

Explanation:

For circular aperture of diameter D will have a bright central maximum of diameter, width is given by

w=\frac{2.44 \lambda L}{D}

where \lambda is wavelength of helium neon laser = 633 nm, D=10.cm, w=0.12 mm

Pinhole should be placed before the viewing screen is

L=\frac{wD}{2.44\lambda}\\L=\frac{0.12\times 10^{-3}\times 0 .01}{2.44\times 633 \times 10^{-9}}\\L=0.776 m
