What do measurements of the number of neutrinos emitted by the Sun tell us about conditions deep in the solar interior?

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The neutrinos are produced in the core of the sun by nuclear fusion and measuring their number helps us confirm that there are enough proton-proton chain reactions of each which produce a neutrino and going on in the Sun's core to explain the energy output of the Sun.

1) Average speed

2) Displacement

Explanation:

1)

Speed is a scalar quantity which gives a measure of how fast a body is moving. It is equal to the ratio between the distance travelled by an object and the time taken to cover that distance:

$speed = \frac{d}{\Delta t}$

where

d is the distance covered

$\Delta t$ is the time taken

It is important to note that being a scalar, speed does not have any direction. Moreover, distance is also a scalar quantity, which corresponds to the total length of the path covered by the object, regardless on the direction taken.

So, the equation "travelled distance/elapsed time" corresponds to the average speed. (where the term average refers to the fact we are not measuring the speed at a specific instant in time, but on a certain time interval $\Delta t$ .

2)

Velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both a magnitude and a direction.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by:

$velocity=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta x$ is the change in position (or displacement) of the object

$\Delta t$ is the time taken

And the direction of the velocity corresponds to the direction of the displacement.

We must note that while distance does not depend on the direction, displacement does. In fact, displacement measures the difference between the initial and final position of the object.

Therefore, the equation "change in position / elapsed time" is equal to the average velocity.

1. A Zambeef delivery track travels 18 km north, 10 km east, and 16 km south. What is its final displacement from the origin?

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

10.2 km

Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance from your original position after movement.

Now, the Zambeef delivery truck moves 18 km north and then 10 km east and then 16 km south.

This means that vertically the truck is 2km short of the 18 km he travelled north..

So we can find the displacement using pythagoras theorem..

Let d be the distance from the current position to the initial position.

Thus;

d² = 2² + 10²

d² = 4 + 100

d = √104

d ≈ 10.2 km

I have attached a diagram showing the direction of this displacement

Focal Lengths II If you were handed an unmarked convex lens (no optical track) and asked to estimate its focal length quickly, h

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Explanation:

To estimate the focal length of a convex lens follow the following steps.

1. take a convex lens.

2. Stand near a window which is just opposite to a wall.

3. Look at a tree which is far away from the window by the convex lens.

4. focus the image of the tree on the wall which is opposite to the window.

5. You wll observe that by changing the position of convex lens a sharp and inverted and small image is seen on the wall.

5. Now measure the distance between the lens and the wall.

7. This distance is the rough focal length of the convex lens.
