Answer:

2.73 K

Explanation:

The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation are a type of electromagnetic radiations that are released after the  explosion of the big bang. It propagates in all direction in space and is moving further with the expansion of the universe. They are not visible but they are helpful in estimating the age of the universe.

These radiations have a wavelength of about 970 μm (approximately 1 mm).

The temperature of the corresponding blackbody of this radiation is approximately <u>2.73 K(-270.42°C)</u> and its extremely cold.

Two small diameter, 10gm dielectric balls can slide freely on a vertical channel each carry a negative charge of 1microcoulomb.
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The distance of separation is d = 0.092 \ m

Explanation:

The mass of the each ball is  m= 10 g  =  0.01 \ kg

 The negative charge on each ball is q_1 =q_2=q =  1 \mu C  =  1 *10^{-6} \ C

Now we are told that the lower ball is  restrained from moving this implies that the net force acting on it is  zero

Hence the gravitational force acting on the lower ball is equivalent to the electrostatic force i.e

          F =  \frac{kq_1 * q_2}{d}

=>       m* g  =  \frac{kq_1 * q_2}{d}

here k the the coulomb's  constant with a value  k = 9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2.

So  

      0.01 * 9.8  =  \frac{ 9*10^9 *[1*10^{-6} * 1*10^{-6}]}{d}

            d = 0.092 \ m

Assume that you stay on the earth's surface. what is the ratio of the sun's gravitational force on you to the earth's gravitatio
Pachacha [2.7K]
First, let's determine the gravitational force of the Earth exerted on you. Suppose your weight is about 60 kg. 

F = Gm₁m₂/d²
where
m₁ = 5.972×10²⁴ kg (mass of earth)
m₂ = 60 kg
d = 6,371,000 m (radius of Earth)
G = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(5.972×10²⁴ kg)/(6,371,000 m )²
F = 589.18 N

Next, we find the gravitational force exerted by the Sun by replacing,
m₁ = 1.989 × 10³⁰<span> kg
Distance between centers of sun and earth = 149.6</span>×10⁹ m
Thus,
d = 149.6×10⁹ m - 6,371,000 m = 1.496×10¹¹ m

Thus,
F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(1.989 × 10³⁰ kg)/(1.496×10¹¹ m)²
F = 0.356  N

Ratio = 0.356  N/589.18 N
<em>Ratio = 6.04</em>

A car came to a stop from a speed of 35 m/s in a time of 8.1 seconds. What was the acceleration of the car?
uranmaximum [27]
Simply subtract the two velocities and divide by 8.1,

\frac{0 - 35}{8.1} = - 4.32

~~

I hope that helps you out!!

A physics professor that doesn’t get easily embarrassed stands at the center of a frictionless turntable with arms outstretched
mr Goodwill [35]
Apply conservation of angular momentum:
L = Iw = const.
L = angular momentum, I = moment of inertia, w = angular velocity, L must stay constant.

L must stay the same before and after the professor brings the dumbbells closer to himself.

His initial angular velocity is 2π radians divided by 2.0 seconds, or π rad/s. His initial moment of inertia is 3.0kg•m^2

His final moment of inertia is 2.2kg•m^2.

Calculate the initial angular velocity:
L = 3.0π

Final angular velocity:
L = 2.2w

Set the initial and final angular momentum equal to each other and solve for the final angular velocity w:

3.0π = 2.2w
w = 1.4π rad/s

The rotational energy is given by:
KE = 0.5Iw^2

Initial rotational energy:
KE = 0.5(3.0)(π)^2 = 14.8J

Final rotational energy:
KE = 0.5(2.2)(1.4)^2 = 21.3J

There is an increase in rotational energy. Where did this energy come from? It came from changing the moment of inertia. The professor had to exert a radially inward force to pull in the dumbbells, doing work that increases his rotational energy.

For the first 10 seconds a squirrel runs 3 m/s to look for an acorn. The next 5 seconds he eats an acorn that he finds. Afterwar
Gala2k [10]

Distance covered by the squirrel to look for an acorn :

d = ( 3 m/s ) × 10 s = 30 m.

Time taken to eat an Acron is 5 seconds.

Time taken to cover distance of 30 m with 2 m/s speed is :

T=\dfrac{30}{2}\ s= 15 \ s

Therefore, total time take to  get back to where he started is ( 10+5+15 ) = 30 s.

Hence, this is the required solution.
