if quasars often resemble little blue stars, what was it about them that so surprised astronomers when they were dis­covered?

Quasar is famous for being an intergalactic object which is billions of years away from the earth yet can still be seen, unlike the other star body, unlike giant galaxies.

Hence, the fact that quasars can be detected from distances where even the biggest and most luminous galaxies cannot be seen means that "they must be intrinsically far more luminous than the brightest galaxies."

This condition, including other related evidence gotten in recent years concerning our galaxy, has shown that quasars are probably the central nuclei of very distant, very active galaxies.

The surprising thing was that quasars and active galaxies have a lot of mass in the center of the very small volume of the space.

Therefore, the surprising thing about quasars was that due to this mass and energy they are 100 times more luminous than Milky Way which means they have high recession velocity and a very large amount of red-shifting.

B) 7.87 m/s

The gravitational pull is the rate of change of velocity which is the acceleration. Formula for acceleration is;
a =  \frac{final \: velocity - initial \: velocity}{time \: taken}

Given:

• Initial velocity = 0m/s; I dropped the ball, and didn't throw it, so it was at rest firstly
• Time taken = 2.40s
• Acceleration = 3.28m/s^2

We're require to find the final velocity, at which the ball hit the ground with. Ignoring air resistance, keep in mind that the velocity of an object increases as it comes closer to the ground.

3.28  =  \frac{final \: velocity - 0}{2.40}
3.28 \times 2.40 = final \: velocity
final \: velocity = 7.872 \frac{m}{ {s} }

A small 16 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 4 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?
seraphim [82]

Kinetic Energy,K.E=1/2MV²

mass,m=16kg

velocity,v=4m/s

K.E=1/2×16×4²

=128kgm²/s²

=128 Joules
