What type of motion does the galaxy go through

Physics
1 answer:
Mariana [72]3 years ago
8 0

Well, it depends. Your latitude on Earth--that is, how close you are to the equator--and the time of year make a difference. I'll explain why. Your motion is made up of four pieces: the rotation of the Earth on its axis, the motion of the Earth around the Sun, the Sun's orbit about the center of the galaxy, and the motion of the whole galaxy.

How are compounds and mixture alike ?
natita [175]

Compounds are atoms or molecules that are chemically bonded together to form a different molecule or compound. The process could be written as a chemical reaction. A mixture is when two elements or compounds are mixed together but do not react, ie no chemical reaction between the two occurs.

What is the frequency of radiation emitted by a photon of light if the energy released during its transition to ground state is
miskamm [114]
If i was feeling harsh today, I'd say the answer to your question is impossible to obtain due to the fact that photons do not emit radiation, photons ARE the radiation emitted. Though for the sake of it, here is the method...

<u>The simple method:
</u>

E=hf

therefore f=e/h

f=(3.611x10^-15) / 6.63x10^-34)

Answer: 5.45x10^18

A Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 6.75 m / s . If the salmon is in a stream with
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The maximum height that the fish can jump is 2.19 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

The motion of the salmon is a parabolic one because when it jumps, it already has a horizontal velocity (see figure).

The position and velocity vectors of the salmon at a time t, can be calculated as follows:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

Where:

r = position of the salmon at time t.

x0 = initial horizotal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity.

g = acceleration of gravity.

Looking at the figure, notice that at the maximum height, the vertical velocity is zero (because the velocity vector is horizontal). Using the equation of the vertical component of the velocity, we can obtain the time at which the salmon is at its maximum height:

vy = v0y + g · t

To find the initial vertical velocity, v0y, let´s look at the figure. Notice that the initial velocity is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed with the horizontal velocity and the vertical velocity. Then:

v0² = v0x² + v0y²

Solving for v0y:

v0y = √(v0² - v0x²)

v0y = √((6.75 m/s)² - (1.65 m/s)²)

v0y = 6.55 m/s

Now, using the equation of the vertical component of the velocity at the maximum height (vy = 0):

vy = v0y + g · t

0 = 6.55 m/s + (-9.8 m/s²) · t

-6.55 m/s / -9.8 m/s² = t

t = 0.67 s

Now, using the equation of the vertical position at t = 0.67 s, we can find the maximum height:

y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

y = 0 m + 6.55 m/s · 0.67 s + 1/2 · (-9.8 m/s²) · (0.67 s)²

y = 2.19 m

The maximum height that the fish can jump is 2.19 m.

blagie [28]
W=20 e(-kt)  
A. Rearranging gives k= -(ln(w/20)/t 
 Substituting w= 10 and solving gives k=0.014 
 B. Using W=20e(-kt). After 0 hours, W=20. After 24 hours, W=14.29g. After 1 week (24x7=168h) W=1.9g 
 C. Rearranging gives t=-(ln(10/20)/k. Substituting w=1 and solving gives t=214 hours. 
 D. Differentiating gives dW/ dt = -20ke(-kt). Solving for t=100 gives dW/dt = 0.07g/h. Solving for t=1000 gives 0.0000002g/h 
 E. dW/dt = -20ke(-kt). But W=20e(-kt) so dW/dt = -kW
