An astronomy class is so excited by the discovery of planets around other stars that they decide to do a library exhibit on the

subject so that everyone in the school can learn about it. In this exhibit they want to pay tribute to both the astronomers of today who have done the work AND some of the scientists of the past whose work was essential to making the discoveries possible (and directly related to the techniques involved). Which of the following scientists of the past should definitely be included in the exhibit?
George Herbig  Ejnar Hertzsprung  Ptolemy 
Gerard Kuiper  Christian Doppler

Answer:

Christian Doppler

Explanation:

The Scientist with the most significant contribution to the discovery of planets around other stars is Christian Doppler and his work that made this discovery possible is the Principle of  DOPPLER EFFECT

<em>Christian Doppler was an Austrian scientist and physicist whose principle Doppler effect explained how observed frequency of light and sound waves are affected by a relative motion of both the source and detector </em>

In Millikan's oil drop experiment an oil drop is at rest between two large plates separated by 1.3 cm when the potential differe
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Mass of the oil drop, m=3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg

Explanation:

Potential difference between the plates, V = 400 V

Separation between plates, d = 1.3 cm = 0.013 m

If the charge carried by the oil drop is that of six electrons, we need to find the mass of the oil drop. It can be calculated by equation electric force and the gravitational force as :

qE=mg

m=\dfrac{qE}{g}

q=6e, e is the charge on electron

E is the electric field, E=\dfrac{V}{d}=\dfrac{400}{0.013}=30769.23\ V/m

m=\dfrac{6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 30769.23}{9.8}

m=3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg

So, the mass of the oil drop is 3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Well, a hurricane is a storm with violent winds (more less with a force of 12 in the scale that measures winds) and it happens especially in the Caribbean sea. While a typhoon is also a strong storm but it happens especially in the Indian region and the western pacific oceans.

In conclusion, their difference is the area in which they happen.

If a puddle of water is frozen, do the particles in the ice have kinetic energy? Explain.
TEA [102]
They have some but not very much, the particles in the ice are still vibrating just not as much as in water. the only time a substance would have 0 kinetic energy is when that substance is at 0 degrees kelvin(absolute zero) so far no place in the universe has been recorded at absolute zero though

This is a velocity versus time graph of a car starting from rest. If the area under the line is 10 meters, what is the correspon
adelina 88 [10]

So the area under a velocity time graph is distance or displacement, if you have done calculus yet you will understand that if you take the integral of a velocity function then you end up with displacement. Thats for later understanding however.

So this appears to be a right triangle so we can find the area of a triangle as:

0.5bh = A

Since our area is 10 meters lets alter our formula a bit to fit the situation:

Our base here is time and our height is velocity so:

0.5tv = Δx

So we can read off the graph that our velocity at the end, or our final velocity appears to be near 2.0 m/s

So we have v, and Δx so lets isolate for time by dividing by v and 0.5

t = Δx / 0.5v

Now lets plug all that in:

t = 10 / 0.5(2)

t = 10 seconds

Hope this helped!
