<u>Answer:</u> The correct statement is both are held together by gravitational forces.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Galaxies are defined as the system which contain millions or billions of stars bind together by gas or dust and held together by gravitational forces.

There are three types of galaxies: elliptical, spiral and irregular shaped. All the galaxies have different shapes of centers. Some may have elongated centers, some can shape like bars.

The galaxies do not change their shape from time to time. Minor changes might be seen but change is shape does not happen.

Hence, the correct statement is both are held together by gravitational forces.

A 360-N child is in a swing that is attached to a pair of ropes 1.90 m long. Find the gravitational potential energy of the chil

Igoryamba

Answer:

684J

Explanation:

So basically the formula for gravitational potential energy is Mass X Gravity X height. That is G.p.e = mgh

We don't have the mass but since we have the height, we multiply directly with the height since the quantity of weight is already given.

so G.p.e = 360 X 1.9 = 684J

Note that; The answer is in joules because g.p.e is work done.

Hope that was helpful!!

A certain quantity of steam has a temperature of 100.0 oC. To convert this steam into ice at 0.0 oC, energy in the form of heat

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

2452.79432 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of ice

$L_s$ = Latent heat of steam

$s_w$ = Specific heat of water

$L_i$ = Latent heat of ice

v = Velocity of ice

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature

Amount of heat required for steam

$Q_1=mL_s\\\Rightarrow Q_1=m(2.256\times 10^6)$

Heat released from water at 100 °C

$Q_2=ms_w\Delta T\\\Rightarrow Q_2=m4186\times (100-0)\\\Rightarrow Q_2=m0.4186\times 10^6$

Heat released from water at 0 °C

$Q_3=mL_i\\\Rightarrow Q_3=m(333.5\times 10^3)\\\Rightarrow Q_3=m(0.3335\times 10^6)$

Total heat released is

$Q=Q_1+Q_2+Q_3\\\Rightarrow Q=m(2.256\times 10^6)+m0.4186\times 10^6+m(0.3335\times 10^6)\\\Rightarrow Q=3008100m$

The kinetic energy of the bullet will balance the heat

$K=Q\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv^2=3008100m\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 3008100}\\\Rightarrow v=2452.79432\ m/s$

The velocity of the ice would be 2452.79432 m/s

Describe in your own words what is meant by the statement that the Sun is in hydrostatic equilibrium.

Jet001 [13]

Answer and Explanation:

Hydrostatic equilibrium is the condition in which force is balance that is upward force and downward force the downward force is due to gravitational force and the upward force is due to the pressure. The Sun is said to be in hydrostatic equilibrium means the force acting on it is balance means upward force which is due to pressure is same as the force exerted by gravitation.
