High angular momentum leads to faster rotation. why does faster rotation tend to lead to a spiral galaxy, rather than an ellipti

cal galaxy?

Lesechka [4]2 years ago

High angular momentum leads to faster rotation, because faster rotation leads to collisions among particles that cause the gas to settle into a spiral disk, rather than a more spread out cloud.

What is the difference between an elliptical galaxy and a spiral galaxy?

Elliptical galaxies are ellipsoids with no clearly visible internal structure. Spiral galaxies have a very dense nucleus and a region of stars bulging outwards from the disks and, therefore, called the central bulge. Elliptical galaxies also have dense centers, but they do not protrude from the body of the galaxy.

Galaxies rotate, or spin around a central axis, and because of something called density waves, helps galaxies to become spiral in shape.

A train travels 25km in 5 hrs. How fast is the train going?
iren [92.7K]

Answer: 5km per hour

If the train is going 25km in 5 hours, you can figure out how many kilometers per hour it is traveling by dividing 25km by the 5 hours.

25/5 = 5km per hour

A paintball is fired horizontally from a tower 45 m above the ground. If the paintball gun fires at 90 m/s… How long does it tak
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The time taken for the paint ball to hit the ground is t =  2.143 \ s

The distance of the landing point from the tower is d = 192.86 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height of the tower is h =  45 \ m

    The speed of the paintball in the horizontal direction is  v_x =  90 \  m/s

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

      h =  ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2

Here u is the initial  velocity of the paintball in the vertical direction and the value is 0 m/s , this because the ball was fired horizontally

         a is equivalent to g  = 9.8\ m/s^2

        t is the time taken for the paintball to hit the ground

   So    

       45  =  0* t + \frac{1}{2} 9.8 * t^2

=>    t =  2.143 \ s

Generally the distance of its landing position from the tower is

         d = v  *  t

=>      d = 90 *  2.143

=>    d = 192.86 \  m

a car traveling at 24 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 6 seconds what is its acceleration?
Irina18 [472]
We can solve for the acceleration by using a kinematic equation. First we should identify what we know so we can choose the  correct equation.

We are given an original velocity of 24 m/s, a final velocity of 0 m/s, and a time  of 6 s. We and looking for acceleration (a) in m/s^2.

The following equation has everything we need:

v_f=v_i + at

So plug in the known values and solve for a:

0 = 24 + 6a

-24 = 6a

a = -4 m/s^2
