Answer:

D. Galaxies typically contain billions of stars.

Explanation:

A galacy on average contains from 150-250 billion up to 100 trillion of starts, for example the milky way has aproximately 200 billion stars, there are for example andromeda galaxy has approximately 1 trillion stars but the largest observable and found galaxy in the universe is IC1101 has a mass of 100 trillion stars and this is only what we have been able to observe.

A rifle bullet with mass 8.00g strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass 0.992kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal s
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

block velocity   v = 0.09186 = 9.18 10⁻² m/s  and speed bollet   v₀ = 11.5 m / s

Explanation:

We will solve this problem using the concepts of the moment, let's try a system formed by the two bodies, the bullet and the block; In this system all scaffolds during the crash are internal, consequently, the moment is preserved.

Let's write the moment in two moments before the crash and after the crash, let's call the mass of the bullet (m) and the mass of the Block (M)

Before the crash

     p₀ = m v₀ + 0

After the crash

   p_{f} = (m + M) v

    p₀ = p_{f}

    m v₀ = (m + M) v                    (1)

Now let's lock after the two bodies are joined, in this case the mechanical energy is conserved, write it in two moments after the crash and when you have the maximum compression of the spring

Initial

    Em₀ = K = ½ m v2

Final

    E m_{f}= Ke = ½ k x2

   Emo = E m_{f}

   ½ m v² = ½ k x²

   v² = k/m  x²

Let's look for the spring constant (k), with Hook's law

   F = -k x

   k = -F / x

   k = - 0.75 / -0.25

   k = 3 N / m

Let's calculate the speed

  v = √(k/m)   x

  v = √ (3/8.00)   0.15

  v = 0.09186 = 9.18 10⁻² m/s

This is the spped of  the  block  plus bullet rsystem right after the crash

We substitute calculate in equation  (1)

   m v₀ = (m + M) v

  v₀ = v (m + M) / m

  v₀ = 0.09186 (0.008 + 0.992) /0.008

  v₀ = 11.5 m / s

Tungsten, W-181, is a radioactive isotope with a half life of 121 days. If a medical lab purchases 24 kg of W-181, how much will
luda_lava [24]

1 year = (365 / 121) = 3.02 half-lifes.  Let's call it 3 .

The amount of radioactive isotope remaining after 3 half-lifes is

(1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/8 

A year after the medical lab received the 24 kg of W-181, 
there will still be 24 kg of stuff in the container. 
But only 3 kg of it will still be W-181.  The other 21 kg will be
whatever substances W-181 becomes when it decays.

Sadly, even the 3 kg of good stuff won't be usable anymore ...
it'll be thoroughly mixed with the 21 kg of junk.  It would be harder
and more expensive to try and separate them than to buy a new
can of pure W-181, and USE it before 7/8 of it has deteriorated.
