Options are

A.) Microwaves coming from Earth

B.) X-rays coming from Earth

<u>C.) White light coming from space</u>

D.) Gamma rays coming from space

C would be your answer, I can't explain it but I just took the test on Plato.

Where are the answers? If there's anything about a white light coming from space I would choose that one.

The amount of pressure required to move a 6800 lb force with a 6" d piston is ___ psi.

Katena32 [7]

The pressure needed in PSI = Pounds of force needed divided by the cylinder Area
The Cylinder rod Area is 21.19 sq inches
Thus, the pressure= 6800/21.19
= 320.91 PSI

A major league baseball pitcher throws a pitch that follows these parametric equations: x(t) = 142t y(t) = –16t2 + 5t + 5. The t

azamat

Answer:

(a) $x'(t)= 142$

(b) 142

(c) $y'(t)= -32t+5$

(d) 96.8 mph

(e) 0.426 s

(f) 0.061 rad

Explanation:

Velocity is a time-derivative of position.

(a) $x(t) = 142t$

$x'(t)= 142$

(b) Since $x'(t)= 142$ is independent of $t$ , it follows it was constant throughout. Hence, at any point or time, the horizontal velocity is 142.

(c) $y(t) = - 16t^2+5t+5$

$y'(t)= -32t+5$

(d) When it passes the home plate, the ball has travelled 60.5 ft (from the question). This is horizontal, so it is equivalent to $x(t)$ .

$x(t)= 142t = 60.5$

$t=\dfrac{60.5}{142}= 0.426$ .

In this time, the vertical velocity, $y'(t)$ is

$y(t)= -32\times0.426+5 = -8.632$

The speed of the ball at thus point is $s=\sqrt{142^2+(-8.632)^2}=142$ ft/s

To convert this to mph, we multiply the factor 3600/5280

$s=142\times\dfrac{3600}{5280}=96.8 \text{ mph}$

(e) The time has been determined from (d) above.

$t= 0.426$

(f) This angle is given by

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{y'(t)}{x'(t)}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{-8.632}{142}=\tan^{-1}-0.0607=3.47$ (Note here we are considering the acute angle so we ignore the negative sign)

In radians, this is

$\theta=3.47\times\dfrac{\pi}{180}=0.061 \text{ rad}$

Suppose that you purchased a water bed with the dimensions 2.55 m Ã 2.53 dm Ã 245 cm. what mass of water does this bed contain

Nadya [2.5K]

dimensions of the bed is given as

$length = 2.55 m$

$thickness = 2.53 dm = 0.253 m$

$width = 245 cm = 2.45 m$

now the volume of the bed is given as

$V = 2.55 * 0.253 * 2.45 m^3$

$V = 1.581m^3$

now the mass of water in it is given as

$mass = density * volume$

$mass = 1000* 1.581$

$mass = 1581 kg$

<em>so it will contain 1581 kg mass in it</em>

Charge q1 is distance r from a positive point charge Q. Charge q2=q1/3 is distance 2r from Q. What is the ratio U1/U2 of their p

worty [1.4K]

We have that The ratio U1/U2 of their potential energies due to their interactions with Q is

$U1/U2=6$
$U1/U2=6$

From the question we are told that

Question 1

Charge q1 is distance r from a positive point charge Q.

Question 2

Charge q2=q1/3 is distance 2r from Q.

Charge q1 is distance s from the negative plate of a parallel-plate capacitor.

Charge q2=q1/3 is distance 2s from the negative plate.

Generally the equation for the potential energy is mathematically given as

$U=\frac{-k*qQ}{r}$

Therefore

The Equations of U1 and U2 is

For U1

$U1=\frac{-k*q_1Q}{r}$

For U2

$U2=\frac{-k*q_1Q}{3*2r}$

Since

U is a function of q and q2=q1/3

Therefore

$U1/U2=6$

For Question 2

For U1

$U1=\frac{-k*q_1Q}{s}\\\\For U2\\\\U2=\frac{-k*q_1Q}{3*2r}$

Therefore

$U1/U2=6$

A friend of yours who has not taken an astronomy class looks at your textbook and really likes the picture of the Pleiades, a cl

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

<em>C. the blue colour of the Earth's sky</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The Pleiades is a cluster of sister stars that are among the closest star cluster to earth.

The reflection nebula of the Pleiades is due to the scattering of the blue light from the hot blue luminous stars that dominate the star cluster. Th blue light is scattered from dust molecules, thought to be predominantly carbon compound like diamond dusts, and other compounds like iron.

The blue colour of the Earth's sky is the closest terrestrial phenomenon to the reflection nebula. On a clear cloudless day, molecules in the air scatter the blue component of light more than the other component colours of white light, giving the sky its characteristic blue coluor.

The common characteristics of the luminous nebula and the Earth's blue sky is that they both have their light scattered by the presence of small particles.
