The answer is 2/3
In the past, they even owned about 9/10 of the nation's total wealth. Back then, most capital goes to whoever owned land and any structura businesses.
Nowdays, people could even find income just through our internet and computers without any significant amount of capital, which make the national wealth spread more evenly.

If the distance of a galaxy is 2,000 Mpc, how many years back into the past are we looking when we observe this galaxy

ruslelena [56]

The age of the galaxy when we look back is 13.97 billion years.

The given parameters:

<em>distance of the galaxy, x = 2,000 Mpc</em>

According Hubble's law the age of the universe is calculated as follows;

v = H₀x

where;

H₀ = 70 km/s/Mpc

$T = \frac{x}{V} \\\\T = \frac{x}{xH_0} \\\\T = \frac{1}{H_0} \\\\T = \frac{1}{70 \ km/s/Mpc} \\\\T = \frac{1 \ sec}{70 \times 3.24 \times 10^{-20} } \\\\T = 4.41 \times 10^{17} \ sec\\\\T = \frac{4.41 \times 10^{17} \ sec\ \times \ years}{3600 \ s \ \times\ 24\ h\ \times \ 365.25 \ days} \\\\T = 1.397 \times 10^{10} \ years\\\\T = 13.97 \ billion \ years$

Thus, the age of the galaxy when we look back is 13.97 billion years.

How does wood and plastic relate to forces

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

There are six kinds of forces that act on objects when they come into contact with one another: Normal force, applied force, frictional force, tension force, spring force and resisting force. These forces make objects change their motion or movement , the act of going from one place to another.

For the circuit shown, calculate

RSB [31]

For the circuit shown

a.the total resistance = R = 35.9 Ω

b. when total current = 2 A, then total voltage = V = 71.8 V

c.the current through resistor of resistance 56Ω = I₁ = 1.28 A

the current through resistor of resistance 100Ω = I₂ = 0.72 A

Explanation:

Resistors can be connected in series or in parallel. For series combination Resultant resistance of the circuit is given by

R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ +...........+Rₙ

But is our case as shown in the picture, Both the resistors are connected in parallel and for parallel combination resultant, resultant resistance of the circuit is given by

(1 / R) = (1 / R₁) + (1 / R₂) + (1 / R₃) +.......+ (1 / Rₙ)

1 / R = (1 / R₁) + (1 / R₂)

Let

R₁ = 56Ω and R₂ = 100Ω

1 / R = 1/56 + 1/100

1 / R = 39 / 1400

R = 1400 / 39

R = 35.9 Ω

Part b can be solved by Ohm's Law Which is stated as "The current flowing through a circuit is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends provided the physical state such as temperature of the conductor (circuit) does not change."

Mathematically

V ∝ I

V = IR

Where V is the potential difference across the ends of the conductor and I is the Current flowing through the circuit. R is the resistance of the circuit.

Given data:

Total current = I = 2 A

Resistance = R = 35.9 Ω

Voltage = ?

By Ohm's Law

V = IR

V = 2*35.9

V = 71.8 V

To solve current through each resistor, We can use current division formula which is given as

I₁ = I[ R₂ / (R₁ + R₂) ]

I₂ = I[ R₁ / (R₁ + R₂) ]

Also we can take Voltage across each resistor equal to V = 71.8 V because Potential difference across each resistors connected in parallel remain same . And by using Ohm's law divide the value of potential difference with the value of respective resistor to find the current through each resistors.

By Ohm's Law

V = IR

I = V / R

I₁ = 71.8 / 56

I₁ = 1.28 A

I₂ = V / R

I₂ = 71.8 / 100

I₂ = 0.72 A

Why is evolution called a scientific theory?

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Evolution is both a fact and a theory. Evolution is widely observable in laboratory and natural populations as they change over time. The fact that we need annual flu vaccines is one example of observable evolution. At the same time, evolutionary theory explains more than observations, as the succession on the fossil record. Hence, evolution is also the scientific theory that embodies biology, including all organisms and their characteristics. In this paper, we emphasize why evolution is the most important theory in biology. Evolution explains every biological detail, similar to how history explains many aspects of a current political situation. Only evolution explains the patterns observed in the fossil record. Examples include the succession in the fossil record; we cannot find the easily fossilized mammals before 300 million years ago; after the extinction of the dinosaurs, the fossil record indicates that mammals and birds radiated throughout the planet. Additionally, the fact that we are able to construct fairly consistent phylogenetic trees using distinct genetic markers in the genome is only explained by evolutionary theory. Finally, we show that the processes that drive evolution, both on short and long time scales, are observable facts.
