Astronomers believe that there is a large cloud of frozen comets called the Oort cloud, which surrounds our solar system. It lie

s approximately 50,000 times farther from the Sun than Earth. Approximately how many squares of toilet paper would you need to put the Oort cloud on your model?

Answer:

Explanation:

As 5 sheets represent the distance from earth to sun and the Oort cloud is 50000 times farther away,

5(50000) = 250 000 sheets

A barrel 1 m tall and 60 cm in diameter is filled to the top with water. What is the pressure it exerts on the floor beneath it?
allsm [11]

Answer:

The pressure on the ground is about 9779.5 Pascal.

The pressure can be reduced by distributing the weight over a larger area using, for example, a thin plate with an area larger than the circular area of the barrel's bottom side.  See more details further below.

Explanation:

Start with the formula for pressure

(pressure P) = (Force F) / (Area A)

In order to determine the pressure the barrel exerts on the floor area, we need the calculate the its weight first

F_g = m \cdot g

where m is the mass of the barrel and g the gravitational acceleration. We can estimate this mass using the volume of a cylinder with radius 30 cm and height 1m, the density of the water, and the assumption that the container mass is negligible:

V = h\pi r^2=1m \cdot \pi\cdot 0.3^2 m^2\approx 0.283m^3

The density of water is 997 kg/m^3, so the mass of the barrel is:

m = V\cdot \rho = 0.283 m^3 \cdot 997 \frac{kg}{m^3}= 282.151kg

and so the weight is

F_g = 282.151kg\cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}=2765.08N

and so the pressure is

P = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{F}{\pi r^2}= \frac{2765.08N}{\pi \cdot 0.3^2 m^2}\approx 9779.5 Pa

This answers the first part of the question.

The second part of the question asks for ways to reduce the above pressure without changing the amount of water. Since the pressure is directly proportional to the weight (determined by the water) and indirectly proportional to the area, changing the area offers itself here. Specifically, we could insert a thin plate (of negligible additional weight) to spread the weight of the barrel over a larger area. Alternatively, the barrel could be reshaped (if this is allowed) into one with a larger diameter (and smaller height), which would achieve a reduction of the pressure.

A sperm whale can accelerate at about 0.0800 m/s 2 0.0800 m/s 2 when swimming on the surface of the ocean. How far will a sperm
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

26.64 m

Explanation:

Given the following :

Acceleration at ocean surface = 0.0800 m/s²

Distance covered if initial speed = 0.700 m/s and accelerates to a speed of 2.18m/s

Using the equation :

v² = u² + 2as

Where ;

v = final velocity ; u = initial velocity ; a = acceleration ; s = distance covered

Therefore,

v² = u² + 2as

2.18² = 0.7² + (2 × 0.08 × s)

4.7524 = 0.49 + 0.16s

4.7524 - 0.49 = 0.16s

4.2624 = 0.16s

s = 4.2624 / 0.16

s = 26.64 m

Which of the following account for the differences between radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays? Check all that apply
Ket [755]

Answer: A. Frequency

B. Wavelength

Explanation: Electromagnetic waves are waves which can travel through the vacuum. Electromagnetic waves have electrical and magnetic component associated with them.

Electromagnetic waves are arranged in order of increasing frequencies or decreasing wavelengths.

Radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays are all electromagnetic waves which have different wavelengths and thus have different frequencies. But they all travel with the speed of light.

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}

The order of frequency of given waves  : gamma rays > X rays> Radio waves.

The order of wavelength of given waves  : gamma rays < X rays < Radio waves.

How can an electron in an atom lose energy to go from a higher energy level to a lower energy level?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

when a photon is created by an electron in a higher energy level. The electron looses energy and move to a lower energy level.

Explanation:

energy levels refer to various levels of energy possessed by the electrons in an atom. An electron in a higher energy level possesses more energy and more speed that that in a lower energy level. Electrons can move from one energy level to another when they gain energy from the surroundings or loose energy to the surroundings. They leave their energy level to fit into a new level where the energy level is same with the energy they now possess. Electrons hit by a photon tend to move to higher energy levels. But if an electron creates a photon it drops to a lower energy level
