Understanding the Universe: Structure, Stars, and Big Bang
Structure of the Universe
The universe is composed of an enormous vacuum in which billions of galaxies float. In each galaxy, there are billions of stars, planets, and nebulae. Chemically, the universe is composed of approximately 75% hydrogen, 20% helium, and 5% other elements. In addition to the observable matter, there is non-observable matter (dark matter), which constitutes 90% of the universe’s matter.
To measure distances in the Universe, the unit known as a light-year is used. A light-year

Spectrometry
Objectives:
- To study the spectrum of gases and operation of the spectrometer.
- Use the rotary torque sensor to measure the displacement of the disc that circulates graduate degrees and the light sensor to determine position.
- Calculate the intensity of different spectral lines and the mercury lamp or gas used in the broadcast.
- Use the data to study, register, and display data in a graph.
- Determine a pair of him, the angular variation, and with these data to determine the wavelength for each
Understanding the Big Bang and the Universe’s Evolution
Scene I: The Chaos
The Chaos.
What Was There Before?
There is no way to indicate a theory about what happened before the Big Bang. And we’re not sure what they had or if there really was something before the Big Bang.
What is the Problem for the Precise Origin of the Universe?
The problem in determining the exact origin of the universe is that the current laws of physics are not absolute laws. Therefore, they cannot be applied throughout the universe, if not in certain states of matter and a limited

Understanding the Solar System
Planets: Mercury and Mars
Choose two of the following planets:
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, receiving 10 times more solar energy than Earth. During the day, extreme temperatures are reached, while nighttime temperatures are similar to those on the Moon. Mercury is notable for being the smallest planet with the smallest mass. Its orbital speed is the greatest, resulting in a shorter year. Its density is the largest in the solar system. The Mariner 10 probe

Problem 1: Electric Field, Coulomb Force, and Potential Energy
(a) Diagram of Electric Field Lines
Question:
Two point charges are located in a plane rectangular coordinate system:
- q1 = 10 nC is at (x=0, y=0).
- q2 = 10 nC is at (x=20 cm, y=0).
Draw a diagram of the electric field lines for these two charges.
Solution:
Since both charges are positive, their electric field lines radiate outward. The field lines repel each other in the space between the charges, bending outward. The key features of the diagram
