Answer:

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate at which an object covers a particular distance. So the formula for determining speed is given as the ratio of distance to time taken for covering that distance.

Speed = Distance/Time

As here the distance is given in km units and time in s units, so the units of any one parameter should be changed. Since we know that speed of sound is always about 300 m/s. So it is better to convert the unit of distance from km to m.

Hence, now the distance traveled by the noise is 2000 m and time taken is 5.8 s.

So the speed of noise = Distance/Time = 2000/5.8=345 m/s.

Thus, the speed of noise is slightly greater than the speed of sound and it is found to be 345 m/s.

What forces shape the stars in galaxies? (Astronomy question, but didn't fit into any categories) PLEASE

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Force of gravity

Explanation:

when the force of gravity pulls large gas clouds and dust together, the concentrated gas clouds and dust collapse under the force of gravity forming stars.

There are many galaxies out there in the universe, each galaxy has its own solar systems, stars, and collection of gas and dust. We (earth) belong to the Milky Way galaxy, our galaxy got this name from the Romans. They called in 'via lactea', which directly translates to 'road of milk' because of the milky patch they saw at night.

What direction does centripetal acceleration point?

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Inward

Explanation:

As the centripetal force acts upon an object moving in a circle at constant speed, the force always acts inward as the velocity of the object is directed tangent to the circle. This would mean that the force is always directed perpendicular to the direction that the object is being displaced. hope this helps :)
