What is the relative size and composition of the universe, a galaxy, and a solar system?

Physics

The solar system is smaller than a galaxy. Galaxies are composed of solar systems. The solar system is composed of planets revolving around a star (such as our sun). To put into perspective, there are about hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy (the milky way). On the other hand, billions of galaxies make up the universe.

The speed of light is constant which is 299 792 458 m / s. The time is taken for light to reach an object can be used to measure the distance between objects in space. This is done by multiplying the time by the speed of light.

Distance in space is so vast and therefore impractical to use the basic SI units of meters and kilometers we use here on earth. Therefore the use of astronomical units and light years is used. Light years is the distance that light can cover in a year in the vacuum of space, while astronomical units is the distance between solar systems.

Problem 20.75 A thin rectangular coil 2 cm by 9 cm has 44 turns of copper wire. It is made to rotate with angular frequency 110
NeTakaya

Answer:

(a) 16.5528 V

(b) 827.64 W

Explanation:

(a)

The formula for maximum emf produced in a coil is given as

E₀ = BANω.................. Equation 1

Where E₀ = maximum emf produced in the coil, B = magnetic Field, A = Area of the rectangular coil, N = number of turns, ω = angular velocity.

Given: B = 1.9 T, N = 44 turns, ω = 110 rad/s, A = 2×9 = 18 cm² = 18/10000 = 0.0018 m²

Substitute into equation 1

E₀ = 1.9(44)(110)(0.0018)

E₀ = 16.5528 V

(b)

Maximum power

P₀ = E₀²/R...................... Equation 2

Where R = Resistance.

Given: R = 50 ohms, E₀ = 16.5528 V

Substitute into equation 2

P₀ = 50(16.5528)

P₀ = 827.64 W

A police car in a high-speed chase is traveling north on a two-lane highway at 35.0 m/s. In the southbound lane of the same high
Sati [7]

Answer:

53 m/s

Explanation:

Since we take the positive x-direction to be toward the north, an SUV travelling to the south would have a negative velocity, -18m/s, relative to Earth. Velocity of Earth relative to the SUV would be 18m/s. And velocity of police car relative to Earth would be positive, 35 m/s.

Velocity of police relative to SUV would equal to velocity of police car relative to Earth plus velocity of Earth relative to SUV

= 35 + 18 = 53 m/s
