Rasek [7]2 years ago

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%.

Water flowing through a cylindrical pipe suddenly comes to a section of pipe where the diameter decreases to 86% of its previous
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of the water in the large section of the pipe is not stated

so i will assume 36m/s

(if its not the said speed, input the figure of your speed and you get it right)

Continuity equation is applicable for ideal, incompressible liquids

Q the flux of water that is  Av with A the cross section area and v the velocity,

so,

A_1V_1=A_2V_2

A_{1}=\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2} \\\\ A_{2}=\frac{\pi}{4}d_{2}^{2}

the diameter decreases 86% so

d_2 = 0.86d_1

v_{2}=\frac{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2}v_{1}}{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{2}^{2}}\\\\=\frac{\cancel{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2}}v_{1}}{\cancel{\frac{\pi}{4}}(0.86\cancel{d_{1}})^{2}}\\\\\approx1.35v_{1} \\\\v_{2}\approx(1.35)(38)\\\\\approx48.6\,\frac{m}{s}

Thus, speed in smaller section is 48.6 m/s

The headlights of a car emit light of wavelength 400 nm and are separated by 1.2 m. The headlights are viewed by an observer who
densk [106]

Answer:

The most correct option is;

B. 10 km

Explanation:

L = \frac{y \times d}{1.22 \times  \lambda} = \frac{1.2 \times 0.004}{1.22 \times  400 \times 10^{-9}} = 9836.066 \ km

Where:

y = Distance between the two headlights

d = Aperture of observers eye

λ = Wavelength of light

L = Distance between the observer and the headlight

Therefore, from the above solution, the distance between the observer and the headlights is 9386.066 km which is approximately 10 km.

Also we have

sinθ = y/L = 1.22 (λ/d)  

= 1.22 \times \frac{400 \times 10^{-9}}{0.004}

sinθ = 1.22×10⁻⁴ rad

3. A 75kg man sits at one end of a uniform seesaw pivoted at its center, and his 24kg son sits at the
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The wife have to sit at 0.46 L from the middle point of the seesaw.

Explanation:

We need to make a sketch of the seesaw and the loads acting over it.

And by the studying of the Newton's law we can find the equation useful to find the distance of the mother sitting on the seesaw with respect to the center ot the pivot point.

A logical intuition will give us the idea that the mother will be on the side of her son to make the balance.

The maximum momentum with respect to the pivot point (0) will be:

M=75 *\frac{L}{2}

Where L/2 is the half of the distance of the seesaw

Therefore the other loads ( mom + son) must be create a momentum equal to the maximum momentum.

Determine whether each substance will sink or float in corn syrup, which has a density of 1.36 g/cm3. Write “sink” or “float” in
Tatiana [17]

Explanation:

  • A substance will floats if it is having lower density than the density of the liquid in which it is placed.
  • A substance will sink if it is having density greater than the density of the liquid in which it is kept.

Density of corn syrup = 1.36 g/cm^3

1) Density of gasoline = 0.748 g/cm^3

Density of the gasoline is less than the the density of corn syrup which means it will float in corn syrup.

2) Density of water = 1 g/cm^3

Density of the water is less than the the density of corn syrup which means it will float in corn syrup.

3) Density of honey = 1.45 g/cm^3

Density of the gasoline is more than the the density of corn syrup which means it will sink in corn syrup.

4) Density of titanium = 4.506 g/cm^3

Density of the titanium is more than the the density of corn syrup which means it will sink in corn syrup.
