The andromeda galaxy is approaching our galaxy with a radial velocity of 120 km/s. given the galaxies present separation of 800 kpc, and neglecting both the transverse component of the velocity and the effect of gravity in accelerating the motion, estimate when the two galaxies will collide.

The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224 and originally the Andromeda Nebula, is a barred spiral galaxy that is 2.5 million light-years away from Earth and the closest big galaxy to the Milky Way. It has a diameter of roughly 46.56 kiloparsecs.

The Milky Way, which houses the Solar System and Earth, and the Andromeda Galaxy are anticipated to collide in roughly 4.5 billion years. This galactic collision will take place between the two largest galaxies in the Local Group. The Andromeda galaxy is the brightest galaxy outside of our solar system. It is the furthest object that the majority of us humans can see with our unaided eyes at a distance of 2.5 million light-years.

A weightless spring is stretched 10 cm by a suspended 1-kg block. If two such springs are used to suspend the block, one spring
leva [86]

Answer:

total stretch of the double-length spring will be 20 cm

Explanation:

given data

length x1 = 10 cm

mass = 1 kg

mass = double = 2 kg

to find out

the total stretch of the double-length spring will be

solution

we can say here spring constant is

k = mg    ............1

k is spring constant and m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

so for in 1st case and 2nd case with 1 kg mass and 2 kg mass

kx1 = mg   .........................2

and

kx2 = 2mg   ........................3

x is length

so from equation 2 and 3

\frac{kx1}{kx2}= \frac{1mg}{2mg}

\frac{x1}{x2} = \frac{1}{2}

\frac{10}{x2} = \frac{1}{2}

x2 = 20

so total stretch of the double-length spring will be 20 cm

The traditional forecast process employed by most NMHSs involves forecasters producing text-based, sensible, weather-element forecast products (e.g. maximum/minimum temperature, cloud cover) using numerical weather prediction (NWP) output as guidance. The process is typically schedule-driven, product-oriented and labour-intensive. Over the last decade, technological advances and scientific breakthroughs have allowed NMHSs’ hydrometeorological forecasts and warnings to become much more specific and accurate.

As computer technology and high-speed dissemination systems evolved (e.g. Internet), National Weather Service (NWS) customers/partners were demanding detailed forecasts in gridded, digital and graphic formats. Traditional NWS text forecast products limit the amount of additional information that can be conveyed to the user community. The concept of digital database forecasting provides the capability to meet customer/partner demands for more accurate, detailed hydrometeorological fore­casts. Digital database forecasting also offers one of the most exciting opportunities to integrate PWS forecast dissemination and service delivery, which most effectively serves the user community.

Both the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA)/National Weather Service and Environment Canada are currently using digital database forecasting technology to produce routine forecasts. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology is in the process of evaluating and developing an implementation plan for database forecasting using the NOAA/NWS National Digital Forecast Database approach.
