Which of the choices describes an action–reaction force pair for a space station containing astronauts in orbit about the earth?

Physics

Answer:

(D) The weight of the space station and the gravitational force of the space station on the earth.

Explanation:

In both A and B , both the forces act in the same direction ( downwards ) , so they can not be action- reaction force .

In the option C , weight of a astronaut can only be reaction force of gravitational force exerted on the earth by astronaut. Both astronaut and the earth pull each other with equal and opposite force.  So option D is correct.

A beam of microwaves with λ = 0.9 mm is incident upon a 9 cm slit. At a distance of 1.5 m from the slit, what is the approximate
liq [111]

Answer:

3 cm

Explanation:

According to the question,

D=1.5 m.

d=9 cm.

\lambda =0.9 mm.

Now the approximate slit's image width is equal to width of central maxima.

And width of central maxima is twice the width from center to first maxima

So,

y=2\frac{\lambda (D)}{d}.

Substitute all the variable in above equation.

y=\frac{(2)0.9\times 10^{-2} m(1.5 m) }{0.09 m}.

y=3 cm.

A 250 Hz tuning fork is struck and the intensity at the source is I1 at a distance of one meter from the source. (a) What is the
Zina [86]

Answer:

a) 0.0625 I_1

b) 3.16 m

Explanation:

<u>Concepts and Principles  </u>

The intensity at a distance r from a point source that emits waves of power P is given as:  

I=P/4π*r^2                         (1)

<u>Given Data</u>

f (frequency of the tuning fork) = 250 Hz

I_1 is the intensity at the source a distance r_1 = I m from the source.  

<u>Required Data</u>

- In part (a), we are asked to determine the intensity I_2 a distance r_2 = 4 in from the source.

- In part (b), we are asked to determine the distance from the tuning fork at which the intensity is a tenth of the intensity at the source.  

<u>solution:</u>

(a)  

According to Equation (1), the intensity a distance r is inversely proportional to the distance from the source squared:

I∝1/r^2

Set the proportionality:  

I_1/I_2=(r_2/r_1)^2                                 (2)

Solve for I_2 :  

I_2=I_1(r_2/r_1)^2  

I_2=0.0625 I_1

(b)  

Solve Equation (2) for r_2:  

r_2=(√I_1/I_2)*r_1

where I_2 = (1/10)*I_1:

r_2=(√I_1/1/10*I_1)*r_1

     =3.16 m

Finally, you are ready to answer the main question. Cheetahs, the fastest of the great cats, can reach 50.0 miles/hour miles/hou
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

a = 10.07m/s^2

Their acceleration in meters per second squared is 10.07m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time

a = ∆v/t

Given;

∆v = 50.0miles/hour - 0

∆v = 50.0miles/hours × 1609.344 metres/mile × 1/3600 seconds/hour

∆v = 22.352m/s

t = 2.22 s

So,

Acceleration a = ∆v/t = 22.352m/s ÷ 2.22s

a = 10.07m/s^2

Their acceleration in meters per second squared is 10.07m/s^2

Honeybees can see light in the ________ range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
konstantin123 [22]
Humans can see wavelengths in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. That is the range of approximately 400 - 700 nm. Honeybees can see visible light and about 100 nm more in the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum. That is approximately 300 - 700 nm.
