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.

A package of mass m is released from rest at a warehouse loading dock and slides down a 3.0-m-high frictionless chute to a waiti
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The speed of the package of mass m right before the collision = 7.668\ ms^-1

Their common speed after the collision = 2.56\ ms^-1

Height achieved by the package of mass m when it rebounds = 0.33\ m

Explanation:

Have a look to the diagrams attached below.

a.To find the speed of the package of mass m right before collision we have to use law of conservation of energy.

K_{initial} + U_{initial} = K_{final}+U_{final}

where K is Kinetic energy and U is Potential energy.

K= \frac{mv^2}{2} and U= mgh

Considering the fact  K_{initial} = 0\ and U_{final} =0 we will plug out he values of the given terms.

So V_{1}{(initial)} =\sqrt{2gh} = \sqrt{2\times9.8\times3} = 7.668\ ms^-1

Keypoints:

  • Sum of energies and momentum are conserved in all collisions.
  • Sum of KE and PE is also known as Mechanical energy.
  • Only KE is conserved for elastic collision.
  • for elastic collison we have e=1 that is co-efficient of restitution.

<u>KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy</u>

b.Now when the package stick together there momentum is conserved.

Using law of conservation of momentum.

m_1V_1(i) = (m_1+m_2)V_f where V_1{i} =7.668\ ms^-1.

Plugging the values we have

m\times 7.668 = (3m)\times V_{f}

Cancelling m from both sides and dividing 3 on both sides.

V_f = 2.56\ ms^-1

Law of conservation of energy will be followed over here.

c.Now the collision is perfectly elastic e=1

We have to find the value of V_{f} for m mass.

As here V_{f}=-2.56\ ms^-1 we can use that if both are moving in right ward with 2.56 then there is a  -2.56 velocity when they have to move leftward.

The best option is to use the formulas given in third slide to calculate final velocity of object 1.

So

V_{1f} = \frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2} \times V_{1i}= \frac{m-2m}{3m} \times7.668=\frac{-7.668}{3} = -2.56\ ms^-1

Now using law of conservation of energy.

K_{initial} + U_{initial} = K_{final}+U_{final}

\frac{m\times V(f1)^2}{2} + 0 = 0 +mgh

\frac{v(f1)^2}{2g} = h

h= \frac{(-2.56)^2}{9.8\times 3} =0.33\ m

The linear momentum is conserved before and after this perfectly elastic collision.

So for part a we have the speed =7.668\ ms^-1 for part b we have their common speed =2.56\ ms^-1 and for part c we have the rebound height =0.33\ m.

Which is true regarding the penetrating power of radiation? (2 points) Select one:
Monica [59]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Alpha particles are heaviest among alpha, beta and gamma so they have least amount of Penetration compared to both.

Gamma Particles are lightest among three so they can Penetrate most .

The order of Penetration is given by

Alpha< Beta < Gamma

A 6.3 g bullet leaves the muzzle of a rifle with a speed of 596.2 m/s. what constant force is exerted on the bullet while it is
ivanzaharov [21]
<span>anwser will be 

F = ma

where 

F = force exerted on the bullet 
m = mass of the bullet = 5 gm (given) = 0.005 kg. 
a = acceleration of the bullet 

Substituting appropriately, 

F = 0.005a --- call this Equation 1 

Next working equation is 

Vf^2 - Vo^2 = 2as 

where 

Vf = velocity of the bullet as it leaves the muzzle = 326 m/sec (given) 
Vo = initial velocity of bullet = 0 
a = acceleration of bullet 
s = length of the rifle's barrel 

Substituting appropriately, 

326^2 - 0 = 2(a)(0.83) 

a = 64,022 m/sec^2 

the anwser will be
Substituting this into Equation 1, 

F = 0.005(64,022) 

F =320.11 Newtons 

Hope this helps. </span><span>
