<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.

valina [46]

The centripetal force on the ball is 140.9 N; option A

<h3>What is the centripetal force on the ball?</h3>

The centripetal force on the ball is given by the formula below:

F = mv²/r

where;

m is mass
v is linear velocity
r is radius

The linear velocity, v = wr

v = 5 * 2π/4.4 * 1.4 = 9.93 m/s

F = 10² * 2/1.4 = 140.9 N

In conclusion, the centripetal force is derived from the mass, velocity and radius of the path.

this is a 3 part questionOn vacation, your 1400-kg car pulls a 560-kg trailer away from a stoplight with an acceleration of 1.85

mamaluj [8]

ANSWER:

(a) 1036 N

(b) -1036 N

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

Mc = 1400 kg

Mt = 560 kg

a = 1.85 m/s^2

(a)

Force by car on trailer:

$\begin{gathered} F_c=m\cdot a \\ F_c=560\cdot1.85 \\ F_c=1036\text{ N} \end{gathered}$

(b)

$\begin{gathered} F_t=-F_c \\ F_t=-1036\text{ N} \end{gathered}$

(c)

$\begin{gathered} F_n=1400\cdot1.85 \\ F_n=2590\text{ N} \end{gathered}$

A charged particle moves in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field.Which of the following would increase the period of the

Bond [772]

Answer:

Increasing its charge

Increasing the field strength

Explanation:

For a charged particle moving in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field, the centripetal force is provided by the magnetic force, so we can write:

$qvB = m\frac{v^2}{r}$
