Suppose we make a scale model of our solar system, with the Sun the size of a grapefruit. Which of the following best describes what the planets would look like?
A) The planets are all much smaller than the Sun. Four planets are within about 20 meters of the Sun, while the rest planets are spread much farther apart. B) The planets are all much smaller than the Sun and are spread out evenly over a distance about the length of a large classroom. C) The planets are all much smaller than the Sun. Four planets are located within a few centimeters of the Sun, and four planets are located at distances ranging up to about a meter. D) The planets range in size from about the size of a marble to the size of a baseball. They are spread out over 100 meters.
A few decades ago, there was great controversy among astronomers over the question of quasar distances, with some arguing that quasars are much nearer than application of Hubble's law would seem to imply
Why do nearly all astronomers now agree that quasars really are quite far away? A) We now have images and spectra that show quasars to be embedded at the centers of distant galaxies and within distant galaxy clusters. B) All quasars have large redshifts. C) Now that we can explain bright quasar emission with power due to the presence of supermassive black holes, there is no reason to doubt that quasars are far away. D) No one could think of a way to explain quasar speeds if they are nearby, so we concluded they must be far away.
A particle (charge = 50 ?C) moves in a region where the only force on it is an electric force. As the particle moves 25 cm from point A to point B, its kinetic energy increases by 1.5 mJ. Determine the electric potential difference, VB?VA.
A. ?50 V B. ?40 V C. ?30 V D. ?60 V E. +15 V
What would happen to Jupiter if we could somehow double its mass?
A) Its density would increase, but its diameter would barely change. B) Its density would decrease and its diameter would double. C) Its density would stay about the same and its volume would double. D) It would become a star, with nuclear fusion in its core.
