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%.

The unit 'mb' means millibar which is equivalent to 1/1000 of 1 bar. To convert the units from bar to atmospheres (atm) and to inches Hg (inHg), we need to know the conversion factors.

a.) 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(1 atm/1.01325 bar) =<em> 9.08×10⁻⁴ atm</em>

b.) 1 bar = 29.53 inHg

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(29.53 inHg/1 bar) =<em> 0.027 inHg</em>

<h2>Apartment Explosion Reported </h2>

The apartment’s explosion, reportedly caused by a gas leak, produced a violent release of gas and heat. The heat increased the temperature of the air in the room, which means an increase in the air's molecular kinetic energy.

When heat is provided then temperature increases and the molecules of substances move rapidly by increase of kinetic energy (K.E) temperature increases. It is understood that heat increases temperature.

an iron rod of length 100m at 10 degree Celsius is used to measure a distance of 2km on a day when the temperature is 40 degree
german

Answer:

0.68 m

Explanation:

α = dL / L1*(dT)

dL = L1(dT) * α

Initial length, L1 = 100

Chang in Length =dL

α linear expansivity ; dL = change in length ; dT = change in temperature ; L1 = initial length

α of iron rod = 1.13 * 10^-5 k

dL = 100(40 - 10) * 1.13 * 10^-5

dL = 100(30) * 1.13 * 10^-5

dL = 3000 * 1.13 * 10^-5

dL = 3390 * 10^-5

dL = 0.0339 m

Error :

Distance measured = 2km = (2 * 1000) = 2000m

[Distance measured / (initial length + change in length)] × change in length

Error = (2000 / (100 + 0.0339)) * 0.0339

Error = (2000 / 100.0339) * 0.0339

Error = 19.993222 * 0.0339

Error = 0.6777702

Error = 0.68 m

A fisherman has caught a very large, 5.0kg fish from a dock that is 2.0m above the water. He is using lightweightfishing line th
agasfer [191]

Answer:

t = 2 s

Explanation:

As we know that fish is pulled upwards with uniform maximum acceleration

then we will have

T - mg = ma

here we know that maximum possible acceleration of so that string will not break is given as

T = 54 N

now we have

54 - (5 \times 9.8) = 5 a

a = 1 m/s^2

now for such acceleration we can use kinematics

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2

2 = \frac{1}{2}(1) t^2

t = 2 s

Bill leaves his 60 W desk lamp on every day, including weekends, for eight hours. After one month (30 days), how much total ener
maxonik [38]

' W ' is the symbol for 'Watt' ... the unit of power equal to 1 joule/second.

That's all the physics we need to know to answer this question.
The rest is just arithmetic.

(60 joules/sec) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (3600 sec/hour)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 3600) (joule · day · hour · sec) / (sec · day · hour)

= 51,840,000 joules

Wait a minute !  Hold up !  Hee haw !  Whoa ! 
Excuse me.  That will never do.
I see they want the answer in units of kilowatt-hours (kWh).
In that case, it's

(60 watts) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (1 kW/1,000 watts)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 1 / 1,000) (watt · day · hour · kW / day · watt)

= 14.4 kW·hour

Rounded to the nearest whole number:

14 kWh
