Space swap fundamental characters

This week let’s explore a strange place where time and space swap fundamental characters, inside a black hole. Start with this article https://www.space.com/what-happens-black-hole-center Links to an external site. and then research either a gravastar or a Planck star.

The arc of a secondary rainbow

You are looking at the top of the arc of a secondary rainbow, using a telescope, with the sun at your back. You are able to see and follow an individual raindrop, as it falls from the top of the rainbow to the bottom of the rainbow. Discuss and explain the color of the raindrop […]

Scientific notation 

Please provide written explanations for all conceptual questions. Could one please show all of their work for any mathematical calculations so I can understand? The diameter of the Sun is 1.4  106 km, and the distance between the sun and the Epsilon Eridani star is 10.47 ly. Calculate how many Suns it would take, laid […]

Angle of elevation of the Sun

The diameter of the Sun is 1.4  106 km, and the distance between the sun and the Epsilon Eridani star is 10.47 ly. Calculate how many Suns it would take, laid side by side, to reach the Epsilon Eridani star. Use scientific notation. At what distance is an object if its parallax, as measured […]

The equation of a straight line

Use the "trendline" function to fit a straight line through the data, and determine the slope and y-intercept of the line. Plot the line and the equation on your graph. How is the slope defined in the equation of a straight line? What is the value of the slope from your graph? What are the […]
