A Rocket took 5 minutes to travel the 185 km. How fast did the Rocket travel in kilometers per minute (km/min)?

The Event Horizon Telescope needs a 22 micro-arcsecond resolution to view the event horizon regions around black holes. If the a

Answer:

14869817.395 m

Explanation:

$\theta$ =22 microarcsecond

λ = Wavelength = 1.3 mm

Converting to radians we get

$22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}\ radians$

From Rayleigh Criterion

$\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{1.3\times 10^{-3}}{22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}}\\\Rightarrow D=14869817.395\ m$

Diameter of the effective primary objective is 14869817.395 m

It is not possible to build one telescope with a diameter of 14869817.395 m. But, we need this type of telescope. So, astronomers use an array of radio telescopes to achieve a virtual diameter in order to observe objects that are the size of supermassive black hole's event horizon.

Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does

Strike441 [17]

Answer: Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does? The heating element of the heater is made up of alloy which has very high resistance so when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot and glows red. But the resistance of cord which is usually of copper or aluminum is very low so it does not glow.

Describe the difference between a conductor and an insulator in terms of thermal energy transfer and provide an example of each.

Nikitich [7]

The difference between conductors and insulators is because of electronic structure of atoms and molecules.

Anywhere we have free electrons, we have a hard conductor where free electrons help in conduction.

In electrolytes, charged Ions do conduction.

Dielectrics (or insulators) don't have free electrons current.

Free electrons mean, the electrons that are not related with a specific atom, they are allowed to move nearby the crystal lattice.

Here's a basketball problem: A 87.2 kg basketball player is running in the positive direction at 7.0 m/s. She is met head-on by

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

2.47 m/s backwards

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂...................... Equation 1

Where m₁ and m₂ = mass of the first basketball player and second basket ball player respectively, u₁ and u₂ = initial velocity of the first basket player and the second basketball player respectively, v₁ and v₂ = The final velocity of the first basket ball player and second basket ball player respectively.

Making v₁ the subject of the equation,

v₁ = (m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ - m₂v₂)/m₁.......................... Equation 2.

Given: m₁ = 87.2 kg, m₂ = 102.0 kg, u₁ = 7.0 m/s, u₂ = -5.2 m/s, v₂ = 2.9 m/s

Note: u₂ is negative because it moves towards the first basket ball player.

Substitute into equation 2

v₁ = [87.2(7.0)+102(-5.2) - (102×2.9)]/87.2

v₁ = (610.4-530-295.8)/87.2

v₁ = -215.4/87.2

v₁ = -2.47 m/s.

Thus the velocity of the 87.2 kg player = 2.47 m/s backwards.
