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>

Complete Question

The compete question is shown on the first uploaded question

Answer:

The speed is  v  =  350 \  m/s  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  distance of separation is  d =  4.00 m  

  The distance of the listener to the center between the speakers is  I =  5.00 m

  The change in the distance of the speaker is by k  =  60 cm  =  0.6 \  m

    The frequency of both speakers is f =  700 \  Hz

Generally the distance of the listener to the first speaker is mathematically represented as

       L_1  =  \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2}

       L_1  =  \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2}

        L_1  =   5.39 \  m

Generally the distance of the listener to second speaker at its new position is  

          L_2  =  \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2 + k}

       L_2  =  \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2 + 0.6}

        L_2  =   5.64  \  m  

Generally the path difference between the speakers is mathematically represented as

        pD  = L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  \lambda}{2}

Here \lambda is the wavelength which is mathematically represented as

         \lambda =  \frac{v}{f}

=>    L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  \frac{v}{f}}{2}

=>    L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  v}{2f}  

=>    L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  v}{2f}  

Here n is the order of the maxima with  value of  n =  1  this because we are considering two adjacent waves

=>    5.64 - 5.39   =  \frac{1  *  v}{2*700}      

=>    v  =  350 \  m/s

A model rocket blasts off from the ground, rising straight upward with a constant acceleration that has a magnitude of 86.0 m/s2
Harman [31]
<span>When the fuel  of the rocket is consumed, the acceleration would be zero. However, at this phase the rocket would still be going up until all the forces of gravity would dominate and change the direction of the rocket. We need to calculate two distances, one from the ground until the point where the fuel is consumed and from that point to the point where the gravity would change the direction. 

Given:
a = 86 m/s^2 
t = 1.7 s

Solution:

d = vi (t) + 0.5 (a) (t^2) 
d = (0) (1.7) + 0.5 (86) (1.7)^2 
d = 124.27 m 

vf = vi + at 
vf = 0 + 86 (1.7) 
vf = 146.2 m/s (velocity when the fuel is consumed completely) 

Then, we calculate the time it takes until it reaches the maximum height.
vf = vi + at 
0 = 146.2 + (-9.8) (t) 
t = 14.92 s

Then, the second distance
d= vi (t) + 0.5 (a) (t^2) 
d = 146.2 (14.92) + 0.5 (-9.8) (14.92^2) 
d = 1090.53  m

Then, we determine the maximum altitude:
 d1 + d2 = 124.27 m + 1090.53 m = 1214.8 m</span>

A 200g piece of iron is heated at 100C. It is than dropped into water to bring its temperature down to 22C. What is the amount o
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

6926.4J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of iron  = 200g

Initial temperature  = 100°C

Final temperature  = 22°C

Unknown:

Amount of heat transferred to the water  = ?

Solution:

The quantity of heat transferred to the water is a function of mass and temperature of the iron;

 H  = m c Ф

m is the mass of the iron

Ф is the change in temperature

C is the specific heat capacity of iron = 0.444 J/g°C

Now;

 insert the parameters and solve;

      H  = 200 x 0.444 x (100-22)

      H = 6926.4J
