Hi!


1. Galaxies are constantly evolving with time, and one manner that they do this is that they change their rotation. This is apparent from the knowledge we have of initially formed galaxies which are spiral like in the beginning, but over time transform into what seems like smooth, barren disks. Another difference is that some galaxies are younger than others, and the age difference is observed with younger galaxies having a higher number of stars that are also comparatively brighter, which makes these galaxies look blue. Older galaxies contain older stars, and older stars are seen to give off red light, which is why these galaxies seem red. Galaxies also undergo various physical and chemical changes, and older galaxies are more structured.


2. Galaxies are brought into formation with the major factor being gravity. The force of gravity is responsible for attracting various stars, collapsing gas, dust clouds and other dark matter into a structured body. Over time the organization becomes more defined. So basically, a galaxy starts off as clouds of dust and stars in space, which come into proximity with other similar clouds, and their subsequent interactions shape the structure of the galaxy.


3. Edwin Hubble, also known as the 'pioneer of distant stars', has contributed to out understanding of galaxies in that he was the first person to prove the existence of galaxies other than the Milky Way, through his studies on spiral nebulae (which were formerly thought to be clouds of dust and gas, but were actually galaxies). He also established the relationship of red shift of a galaxy (recession velocity) and the distance of the galaxy from the Earth - a directly proportional relationship, which is known as the Hubble's Law.


4. The Milky Way is found to be considerably larger, about ten times, than the average dwarf galaxy being 100,000 light years across in diameter. The Milky Way is home to 200 billion stars, and with the capacity (dust and gas) to give rise to billions more. The Milky Way is the biggest galaxy in the Virgo Supercluster, and is relatively old in comparison with most other galaxies within the universe.


5. Dark matter and gravity play a role in determining the structure of the galaxy and influences the environment over time. Dark matter contributes to the mass of the galaxy, and this affects the spin of the galaxy. The more the mass of a galaxy (or more massive a galaxy) the greater would be its rotation. Gravity is the acting force that holds the components of galaxy in place, such as the dust clouds, colonies of star, gas and dark matter. Gravity influences the structure in that it exerts and inward pull on the stars, resulting in the spiral arm structure of a galaxy, which over time tends to be more eclipse like.


Hope this helps!

Two forces of 50 N and 30N respectively, are acting on an object. Find the net force (in N) on the object if
xxTIMURxx [149]

A) the forces are acting in the same direction.. B) Together, forces are acting in opposite directions

Answer:

A) 80 N

B) 20 N

Explanation:

A) If the forces acting are in the same direction, then the net force will be a sum of both so many faces..

Thus;

ΣF = 50 + 30

ΣF = 80 N

B) If the forces are acting in the in opposite directions with the larger force pointing in the positive y-axis then, the net force is;

ΣF = 50 - 30

ΣF = 20 N

Newton's First Law says that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless:
Verdich [7]

Answer: Acted on by equal forces in opposite direction

Explanation:

Newton's First Law says that every body continue in its state of rest or constant speed on a straight line unless being acted upon by an external force.

A student pushes on a crate with a force of 100 Newtons directed to the right.
romanna [79]

Answer:

100N

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Therefore 100N of force is exerted by the crate on student as a reaction to his action

     The force that prevents motion when the surfaces of two objects come into contact is known as friction. Friction decreases a machine's mechanical advantage, or, to put it another way, reduces the output to input ratio.

<h3>How can I figure out the frictional force?</h3>

        The resistive force of friction (Fr) divided by the normal or perpendicular force (N) pushing the objects together yields the coefficient of friction (fr), which is a numerical value.

The formula fr = Fr/N serves as a representation of it.

Therefore, 100N of force is needed to move an item with a mass of 50 kg.

It will accelerate by 10 m/s2.

If a substance's mass does not change over time, friction cannot affect it. Instead, friction can be affected in a variety of ways by an object's mass.
