What do you think that astronomers mean when they use the term observable universe?

The observable universe consists of galaxies and other matter that can, principally, be seen from Earth because the light signals have had time to reach us. Not everything in the sky is the way it is when we see it, because of the distance the light travels to reach us. 

Hope this helps :)

Far out in space, a 100,000-kg rocket and a 200,000-kg rocket are docked at opposite ends of a motionless 90m-long tunnel. The t

Answer:

a) X_{cm} = 60m

b) I = 5.4*10^8Kg*m^2

c) T= 4.5*10^6 N*m

d) a = 8.3*10^{-3}rad/s^2

e) W= 0.25 rad/s

Explanation:

a) we know that:

X_{cm} = \frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m1+m2}

where X_cm is the ubicaton of the center of mass, m_1 the mass of the first rocket, x_1 its distances with the rocket 1, m_2 the mass of the second rocket and x_2 its distance with the rocket 1. So, replacing values, we get:

X_{cm} = \frac{(100,000kg)(0)+(200,000kg)(90m)}{100,000kg+200,000kg}

X_{cm} = 60m

So, the center of mass is at 60m from the rocket 1.

b) we know that:

I = M_1R_1^2 +M_2R_2^2

where I is the moment of inertia, M_1 is the mass of the rocket 1, R_1 its distance from the center of mass, M_2 the mass of the second rocket and R_2 the distance between the rocket 2 and the center of mass. So, replacing values, we get:

I = (100,000kg)(60m)^2 +(200,000kg)(30m)^2

I = 5.4*10^8Kg*m^2

c) We know that:

T = Fr

where T is the net torque, F is the force and r is the distance between the rocket and the radius. Then:

FR_1+FR_2 = T

Replacing values, we get:

50,000N(60m)+50,000N(30m) = T

T= 4.5*10^6 N*m

d) We know that:

T = Ia

where T is the net torque, I the moment of inertia and a is the angular aceleration. So, replacing values, we get:

4.5*10^6Nm = 5.4*10^8Kg*m^2a

solving for a:

a = 8.3*10^{-3}rad/s^2

e) Finally, using:

W = at

where W is the angular velocity, a is the angular aceleration and t is the time.

Then, replacing values. we get:

W = (8.3*10^{-3}rad/s^2)(30s)

W = 0.25 rad/s
