  • ASTR 1020 Homework Solutions
    ASTR 1020 Homework Solutions Chapter 1 24. Set up a proportion, but be sure that you express all the distances in the same units (e.g., centimeters). The diameter of the Sun is to the size of a basketball as the distance to Proxima Centauri (4.2 LY) is to the unknown distance (X), so (1.4 × 1011 cm) / (30 cm) = (4.2 LY)(9.46 × 1017 cm/LY) / (X) Rearranging terms, we get X = (4.2 LY)(9.46 × 1017 cm/LY)(30 cm) / (1.4 × 1011 cm) = 8.51 × 108 cm = 8.51 × 103 km = 8510 km In other words, if the Sun were the size of a 30-cm diameter ball, the nearest star would be 8510 km away, which is roughly the distance from Los Angeles to Tokyo. 27. The Sun’s hydrogen mass is (3/4) × (1.99 × 1030 kg) = 1.49 × 1030 kg. Now divide the Sun’s hydrogen mass by the mass of one hydrogen atom to get the number of hydrogen atoms contained in the Sun: (1.49 × 1030 kg) / (1.67 × 10-27 kg/atom) = 8.92 × 1056 atoms. 8 11 29. The distance from the Sun to the Earth is 1 AU = 1.496 × 10 km = 1.496 × 10 m. The light-travel time is the distance, 1 AU, divided by the speed of light, i.e., 11 8 3 time = distance/speed = (1.496 × 10 m) / (3.00 × 10 m/s) = 0.499 × 10 s = 499 s = 8.3 minutes. 34. Since you are given diameter (D = 2.6 cm) and angle, and asked to find distance, you need to rewrite the small-angle formula as d = (206,265)(D) / (α).

    The Processes of Violent Disintegration and Natural Creation of Matter in the Universe Weitter Duckss Independent Researcher, Zadar, Croatia [email protected] Abstract: This article completes the circle of presenting the process of the constant growth of objects and systems and the topics to complete it consist of the visible matter violent disintegration and its re-creation inside the Universe. A constant process of the visible matter disintegration is presented as the end of the process, the proportions of which are gigantic, and the creation of the visible matter as the beginning of it. The disintegration of particles disturbs the balance of the Universe's wholeness; despite the enormous loss of the visible matter, the Universe is constantly growing. After having postponed it for a while, this article discusses the age of objects and the Universe as a consequence of the process of the constant matter growth. The acquired results are completely different from those, offered by the renowned experts of the time. Keywords: disintegration of matter; particle formation; the age of the Universe I. Introduction The goal of the article is to unite the total processes of the constant matter growth inside the Universe, based on the independent research, the use of databases of generally accepted, easily verifiable evidence for the broadest community of readers. This article is a summary of the materials inside the process of the constant matter gathering, with the articles (Yukawa, 1935), (Duckss, 2019), (Duckss, 2018), and (Duckss, 2018) due to gravity or the law of universal gravitation. The disintegration of matter is a process of turning the visible matter into the invisible matter and energy and it exists in the whole of the Universe.

Nabil Derbel Acknowledgement It is a great feeling, after finishing the Ph.D. to look backward to all stations I have been through. All the memories passes in front of my eyes as a movie. Oh I’m free now, I have finished my Ph.D. lastly. However, this work was impossible to be done without the support of many people, whom I need to thanks sincerely and from my heart. Above all, I would like to thank God for my success with this chapter of my life. I express my deep sense of gratitude and thanking to Prof. Dr.-Ing. Olfa Kanoun for supervising me all the time, for the extremely motivational conversations as well as the valuable directions and advices. Working with you was and will remain an honor and pride for me all my life. Also, I thank all my colleagues from the MST institute for the unlimited cooperation during the working hours. In particular, the members of energy harvesting group, each according to his own name for granting me a part of their experiences and for the precious feedbacks during our meetings. All the students who worked with me continuously and hardly deserve a thanking words too.

  • A History of the Earth
    A HISTORY OF THE EARTH John Scales Avery November 6, 2020 Introduction1 The place of humans in nature In this book, I have tried to sketch human history, from earliest times un- til the present, against a cosmic backdrop. According to modern cosmol- ogy, the universe is almost unimaginably vast. It is estimated that there are 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in the observable universe. Of these, many stars have planets on which life is likely to have developed. Thus our earth and its life forms are by no means unique. We cannot claim to be “the center of the universe” with any unique justifi- cation. However, the earth is our home. It is important to us. As parents, we wish for and work for the survival of our children and grandchildren, and for all future generations of humans. We must also recognize our responsibility as custodians of the natural world. We have a duty to protect both human civilization and the biosphere. We must work with dedication to guard and protect the future of our precious and beautiful earthly home. Cultural evolution When humans first appeared on earth, they were not very numerous, and not conspicuously different from other animals. Then suddenly, in a brief space of geological time, they exploded in numbers, populating all parts of the world, and even setting foot on the moon. This explosive growth was driven by what might be called an “information explosion”. All animals and plants pass on information from one generation to the next in the form of DNA, the information-bearing genetic material.
