Rasek [7]

Answer:

99.95%

Explanation:

A double pulsar system named PSR J0737-3039A/B  in Puppis constellation was discovered in the year 2003. Pulsars are second most densest object in the universe after black holes and they emit radio waves at regular intervals. This pair presented a great and natural setup to test the Theory of General Relativity presented by Einstein in 1915. In this theory Einstein had presented a set of equations on how the space-time fabric will be curved because of the very dense objects such as Neutron stars. It also predicted how the gravitational waves are created because of stars orbiting each other.

A team of astrophysicists led by Michael Kramer, conducted a study on how these gravitational waves will impact the time in which the radio waves emitted by pulsars will reach Earth. The result of the study proved the theory of General Relativity to be accurate up to 99.95%.

How much energy does a 50 kg rock have if it is sitting on the edge of a 15 m cliff?
noname [10]

Answer:

7350 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of the rock sitting on the edge of the cliff is given by:

U=mgh

where

m is the mass of the rock

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the height of the cliff

In this problem, we have

m = 50 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

h = 15 m

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find:

U=(50 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(15 m)=7350 J

A particle with a charge of -1.24 x 10"° C is moving with instantaneous velocity (4.19 X 104 m/s)î + (-3.85 X 104 m/s)j. What is
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

(a) F= 6.68*10¹¹⁴ N (-k)

(b) F =( 6.68*10¹¹⁴ i  + 7.27*10¹¹⁴ j  ) N

Explanation

To find the magnetic force in terms of a fixed amount of charge q that moves at a constant speed v in a uniform magnetic field B we apply the following formula:

F=q* v X B Formula (1 )

q: charge (C)

v: velocity (m/s)

B: magnetic field (T)

vXB : cross product between the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector

Data

q= -1.24 * 10¹¹⁰ C

v= (4.19 * 10⁴ m/s)î + (-3.85 * 10⁴m/s)j

B  =(1.40 T)i  

B  =(1.40 T)k

Problem development

a) vXB = (4.19 * 10⁴ m/s)î + (-3.85* 10⁴m/s)j X (1.40 T)i =

            = - (-3.85*1.4) k = 5.39* 10⁴ m/s*T (k)

1T= 1 N/ C*m/s

We apply the formula (1)

  F= 1.24 * 10¹¹⁰ C*  5.39* 10⁴ m/s* N/ C*m/s (-k)

   F= 6.68*10¹¹⁴ N (-k)

a)  vXB = (4.19 * 10⁴ m/s)î + (-3.85* 10⁴m/s)j X (1.40 T)k =

             =( - 5.39* 10⁴i - 5.87* 10⁴j)m/s*T

1T= 1 N/ C*m/s

We apply the formula (1)

F= 1.24 * 10¹¹⁰ C*  (  5.39* 10⁴i + 5.87* 10⁴j) m/s* N/ C*m/s

F =( 6.68*10¹¹⁴  i  + 7.27*10¹¹⁴  j  ) N

Superman used X-ray vision to detect objects. Aside from a source of X-rays, what else would be needed for X-ray vision?
Arada [10]

Answer:

an absorber of x-ray

Explanation:

To make x-ray detection/vision work, you will need at least two items: a source of x-ray and absorbed or x-ray.  

The object you want to see itself doesn't have to be the source, but it has to absorb some of the rays instead. When doing a chest x-ray test, the medical employee will put your chest between absorber and source. The heart can absorb some of the rays so it will appear more white than lungs who made of air and won't absorb the rays.
