Answer:

Gamma rays are the most energetic form of rays. A gamma ray burst can emit a large amount of energy in a very short interval of time. In fact, a short gamma-ray burst occurs in less than 2 seconds. A leading hypothesis states that when two neutron stars merge or when a neutron star merges with a black hole, short gamma-ray burst originates. Such merger are expected to produce kilonovoe.

Calculate the time period of simple pendulum whose length is 98.2cm

alekssr [168]

The time period resulting in oscillations will be 1.986 seconds.

<h3>What is the period of oscillation?</h3>

The period is the amount of time it takes for a particle to perform one full oscillation. T is the symbol for it. Taking the reciprocal of the frequency yields the frequency of the oscillation.

The time period of the oscillation is;

$\rm T = 2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \\\\ \rm T = 2 \times 3.14 \times \sqrt{ \frac{98.2 \ \times 10^{-2} \ m}{9.81 \ m/s^2}} \\\\ T= 1.986 \ sec$

Hence the time period resulting oscillations will be 1.986 seconds.

Thermopane window is constructed, using two layers of glass 4.0 mm thick, separated by an air space of 5.0 mm.

Bond [772]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to rate of thermal conduction

$\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA\Delta T}{d}$

The letter Q represents the amount of heat transferred in a time t, k is the thermal conductivity constant for the material, A is the cross sectional area of the material transferring heat, $\Delta T$ , T is the difference in temperature between one side of the material and the other, and d is the thickness of the material.

The change made between glass and air would be determined by:

$(\frac{Q}{t})_{glass} = (\frac{Q}{t})_{air}$

$k_{glass}(\frac{A}{L})_{glass} \Delta T_{glass} = k_{air}(A/L)_{air} \Delta T_{air}$

$\Delta T_{air} = (\frac{k_{glass}}{k_{air}})(\frac{L_{air}}{L_{glass}}) \Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T_{air} = (\frac{0.84}{0.0234})(\frac{5}{4}) \Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T_{air} = 44.9 \Delta T_{glass}$

There are two layers of Glass and one layer of Air so the total temperature would be given as,

$\Delta T = \Delta T_{glass} +\Delta T_{air} +\Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T = 2\Delta T_{glass} +\Delta T_{air}$

$20\°C = 46.9\Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta T_{glass} = 0.426\°C$

Finally the rate of heat flow through this windows is given as,

$\Delta {Q}{t} = k_{glass}\frac{A}{L_{glass}}\Delta T_{glass}$

$\Delta {Q}{t} = 0.84*24*10 -3*0.426$

$\Delta {Q}{t} = 179W$

Therefore the correct answer is D. 180W.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

v = 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

The wavelength of the waves is given as the horizontal distance between the crests:

λ = wavelength = 5.5 m

Now, the time period is given as the time taken by boat to move from the highest point again to the highest point. So it will be equal to twice the time taken by the boat to travel from highest to the lowest point:

T = Time Period = 2(2.3 s) = 4.6 s

Now, the speed of the wave is given as:

$v = f\lambda$

where,

v= speed of wave = ?

f = frequency of wave = $\frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{4.6\ s} = 0.217\ Hz$

Therefore,

$v = (0.217\ Hz)(5.5\ m)\\$

Easy defimation of newtons second law of motion

shtirl [24]

Hi pupil here's your answer ::

_______________________________

Newton's Second Law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum of an object is proportional to the applied unbalanced force in the direction of the force.
ie., F=ma

Where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the body, and a, the acceleration produced.

Or in simplest language it is the force applied to a particular object of particular mass multiplied by the acceleration caused by force .
