Answer:

8427375 N

Explanation:

From newton's equation of motion,

F = ma................. Equation 1

Where F = average force exerted on the meteorite by the car, m = mass of the meteorite, a = acceleration.

We can find the value of acceleration from newton's equation of motion

using,

v² = u²+2as.................. Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.

Make a the subject of the equation

a = (v²-u²)/2s............... Equation 3

Note: When the meteorite struck the car, it was brought to rest

Given: u = 550 m/s, v = 0 m/s ( brought to rest), s = 22 cm = 0.22 m

Substitute into equation 3

a = (0²-550²)/(2×0.22)

a = -302500/0.44

a = -687500 m/s²

Also given: m = 27 pound = (27×0.454) = 12.258 kg

Substitute into equation 1

F = 12.258(-687500)

F = -8427375 N

Note: The negative sign tells that the force act in opposite direction to the motion of the meteorite

Answer:

The average force exerted on the meteorite by the car is 8.435x10⁶N

Explanation:

Given:

m = 27 lb = 12.27 kg

D = 22 cm = 0.22 m

v1 = 550 m/s

The acceleration of the meteorite is:

v_{2} ^{2} =v_{1} ^{2}+2aD\\0=550^{2} +2a(0.22)\\a=-\frac{550^{2} }{2*0.22} =-687500m/s^{2}

Negative sign indicates opposite to the initial velocity. The average force is equal to:

Magnitude of a = 687500 m/s²

F = m*a = 12.27 * 687500 = 8.435x10⁶N

Describe the main distinguishing features of spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies.
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Spiral galaxies consist of a flat, rotating disk of stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge. These are surrounded by a much fainter halo of stars, many of which reside in globular clusters.

Elliptical galaxies have smooth, featureless light-profiles and range in shape from nearly spherical to highly flattened, and in size from hundreds of millions to over one trillion stars. In the outer regions, many stars are grouped into globular clusters. Most elliptical galaxies are composed of older, low-mass stars, with a sparse interstellar medium and minimal star formation activity They are often chaotic in appearance, with neither a nuclear bulge nor any trace of spiral arm structure. Collectively they are thought to make up about a quarter of all galaxies.

irregular galaxies were once spiral or elliptical galaxies but were deformed by gravitational action. they are shapeless.

Two scales on a nondigital voltmeter measure voltages up to 20.0 and 30.0 V, respectively. The resistance connected in series wi
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Resistance of the circuit is 820 Ω

Explanation:

Given:

Two galvanometer resistance are given along with its voltages.

Let the resistance is "R" and the values of voltages be 'V' and 'V1' along with 'G' and 'G1'.

⇒ V=20\ \Omega,\ V_1=30\ \Omega

⇒ G=1680\ \Omega,\  G_1=2930\ \Omega

Concept to be used:

Conversion of galvanometer into voltmeter.

Let G be the resistance of the galvanometer and I_g the maximum deflection in the galvanometer.

To measure maximum voltage resistance R is connected in series .

So,

⇒ V=I_g(R+G)

We have to find the value of R we know that in series circuit current are same.

For G=1680                                    For G_1=2930

⇒ I_g=\frac{V}{R+G}   equation (i)                ⇒ I_g=\frac{V_1}{R+G_1} equation (ii)

Equating both the above equations:

⇒ \frac{V}{R+G} = \frac{V_1}{R+G_1}

⇒ V(R+ G_1) = V_1 (R+G)

⇒ VR+VG_1 = V_1R+V_1G

⇒ VR-V_1R = V_1G-VG_1

⇒ R(V-V_1) = V_1G-VG_1

⇒ R =\frac{V_1G-VG_1}{(V-V_1)}

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ R =\frac{(30\times 1680) - (20\times 2930)}{(20-30)}

⇒ R =\frac{(50400 - 58600)}{(-10)}

⇒ R=\frac{-8200}{-10}

⇒ R=820\ \Omega

The coil resistance of the circuit is 820 Ω .
