dlinn [17]3 years ago

Your question kind of petered out there towards the end and you didn't specify
the terms, so I'll pick my own.

The "Hubble Constant" hasn't yet been pinned down precisely, so let's pick a
round number that's in the neighborhood of the last 20 years of measurements:

             <em>70 km per second per megaparsec</em>.

We'll also need to know that 1 parsec = about 3.262 light years.

So the speed of your receding galaxy is

         (Distance in LY) x (1 megaparsec / 3,262,000 LY) x (70 km/sec-mpsc) =

              (150 million) x  (1 / 3,262,000) x (70 km/sec) =

                                 <em>3,219 km/sec  </em>in the direction away from us (rounded)

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

16. 68.18 Km/h

17. 3 miles.

Explanation:

16. Determination of the speed

Distance travelled = 150 Km

Time = 2.2 hours

Speed =?

Speed is simply defined as the distance travelled with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed = Distance / time

With the above formula, we can obtain the speed as follow:

Distance travelled = 150 Km

Time = 2.2 hours

Speed =?

Speed = Distance /time

Speed = 150 / 2.2

Speed = 68.18 Km/h

17. Determination of the distance.

Speed = 3 mph

Time = 1 hour

Distance =?

Speed = Distance /time

3 = distance / 1

Distance = 3 miles

2.5 gram sample of a radioactive element was formed in a 1960 explosion of an atomic bomb at Johnson Island in the Pacific Test
kow [346]

Answer:

0.15625 grams

Explanation:

Half life: It is related to the decay of radioactive material. The duration in which  half of the material will be degraded/decayed. That means after half life 50% of the radioactive material will be left. Here the half life is 28 years.

Initial quantity of the sample: 2.5 grams.

After 28 years, the leftover quantity = 1.25 grams

After 56 years, the leftover quantity = 0.625 grams

After 84 Years, the leftover quantity = 0.3125 grams

After 112 years, the leftover quantity = 0.15625 grams
