What causes the spiral structural in milky way?

Physics
1 answer:
Mrac [35]3 years ago
6 0
The spiral structure of the milky way can be explained by long lived quasi-static density waves<em>, </em><em>according to the lin-shu hypothesis. </em>Curiously, the waves of higher density gas and stars (seen as spiral arms) appear to remain static as stars move around the galaxy. This explained by assuming that the gravitational disturbances cause by the 'clumping' material in the arms does not affect the gravitational field of the galaxy as whole and is therefore negligible.

The normal eye, myopic eye and old age
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

1)    f’₀ / f = 1.10, the relationship between the focal length (f'₀) and the distance to the retina (image) is given by the constructor's equation

2) the two diameters have the same order of magnitude and are very close to each other

Explanation:

You have some problems in the writing of your exercise, we will try to answer.

1) The equation to be used in geometric optics is the constructor equation

          \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where p and q are the distance to the object and the image, respectively, f is the focal length

* For the normal eye and with presbyopia

the object is at infinity (p = inf) and the image is on the retina (q = 15 mm = 1.5 cm)

        \frac{1}{f'_o} = 1/ inf + \frac{1}{1.5}

        f'₀ = 1.5 cm

this is the focal length for this type of eye

* Eye with myopia

the distance to the object is p = 15 cm the distance to the image that is on the retina is q = 1.5 cm

           1 / f = 1/15 + 1 / 1.5

           1 / f = 0.733

            f = 1.36 cm

this is the focal length for the myopic eye.

In general, the two focal lengths are related

         f’₀ / f = 1.5 / 1.36

         f’₀ / f = 1.10

The question of the relationship between the focal length (f'₀) and the distance to the retina (image) is given by the constructor's equation

2) For this second part we have a diffraction problem, the point diameter corresponds to the first zero of the diffraction pattern that is given by the expression for a linear slit

          a sin θ= m λ

the first zero occurs for m = 1, as the angles are very small

          tan θ = y / f = sin θ / cos θ

for some very small the cosine is 1

          sin θ = y / f

where f is the distance of the lens (eye)

           y / f = lam / a

in the case of the eye we have a circular slit, therefore the system must be solved in polar coordinates, giving a numerical factor

           y / f = 1.22 λ / D

           y = 1.22 λ f / D

where D is the diameter of the eye

          D = 2R₀

          D = 2 0.1

          D = 0.2 cm

           

the eye has its highest sensitivity for lam = 550 10⁻⁹ m (green light), let's use this wavelength for the calculation

         

* normal eye

the focal length of the normal eye can be accommodated to give a focus on the immobile retian, so let's use the constructor equation

      \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

sustitute

       \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{1.5}

       \frac{1}{f}= 0.7066

        f = 1.415 cm

therefore the diffraction is

        y = 1.22  550 10⁻⁹  1.415  / 0.2

        y = 4.75 10⁻⁶ m

this is the radius, the diffraction diameter is

       d = 2y

       d_normal = 9.49 10⁻⁶ m

* myopic eye

In the statement they indicate that the distance to the object is p = 15 cm, the retina is at the same distance, it does not move, q = 1.5 cm

       \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{ 1.5}

        \frac{1}{f}= 0.733

         f = 1.36 cm

diffraction is

        y = 1.22 550 10-9 1.36 10-2 / 0.2 10--2

        y = 4.56 10-6 m

the diffraction diameter is

        d_myope = 2y

         d_myope = 9.16 10-6 m

         \frac{d_{normal}}{d_{myope}} = 9.49 /9.16

        \frac{d_{normal}}{d_{myope}} =  1.04

we can see that the two diameters have the same order of magnitude and are very close to each other

Pitch marks are the invitations left by the ball when they fall on the green
Kipish [7]
You can mark, lift and clean a ball on the green, but it's a violation to do so when another ball is in motion, as your ball might influence the outcome of that stroke. You can also mark and clean your ball in some instances when it's off the green: cleaning it, for example, just to the point where you can identify it.

Which, if any, of the following statements concerning the work done by a conservative force is NOT true? All of these statements
masya89 [10]

Answer:

When the starting and ending points are the same, the total work is zero.

Explanation:

option ( D )correct

A force is said to be conservative when the work done by the force in moving a particle from a point A to a point B is independent of the path followed between A and B and is the same for all the paths. The work done depends only on the particles initial and final positions. And when the initial and final position in conservative field are same the work done is said to be zero.

If a 42kg rolling object slows from 11.5m/s to 3.33m/s how much work did friction do
geniusboy [140]

Answer: 1608.39 J

Explanation: Given that the

mass M = 42kg

U = 11.5m/s

V = 3.33m/s

how much work did friction do

Work done = Force × distance

Work done = Ma × distance

But acceleration a = V/t

Work done = M × V/t × d

Work done = M × V × d/t

Where d/t = velocity

Therefore,

Work done = M × U × V

Work done = 42 × 11.5 × 3.33

Work done = 1608.39 J

An advertisement claims that a particular automobile can "stop on a dime". What net force would actually be necessary to stop an
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

F = 4399 KN

Explanation:

given,

mass of automobile = 890 kg

initial speed = 48 km/h

                     = 48 × 0.278 = 13.34 m/s

using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a × s

0 = 13.34² - 2 a ×0.018

a = \dfrac{13.34^2}{0.036}

a = 4943.21 m/s²

F   = m × a

F   = 890 × 4943.21

F   =  4399456.9 N

F = 4399 KN

hence, the  Net force is F = 4399 KN
