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)

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

3 820 885 N

Explanation:

Gravitational equation

   F = G  m1 m2 / r^2    

         G = gravitational constant = 6.6713 x 10^-11 m^3/kg-s^2

F = 6.6713 x 10^-11   *   4.41 x 10^5  * 5.97 x 10^24  / ( 6.78x 10^6)^2

 = 3820885 .3 N

a boy throw a ball upward from the top of a cliff 73m high.Calculate the time in which ball will fall on the ground and the velo
LekaFEV [45]

The ball rises for v/g seconds; which equals 14.7/9.8=1.5 seconds . After this time, it’s height will be:


h(t)=g/2(1.5)²+14.7(1.5)


=-4.9 x 2.25 + 22.05


=11.025m


The ball then falls for 49+11.025=60.025m, which takes:


g/2t²=60.025


t²=12.25


t=3.5 secs


Total time: 1.5+3.5=5 seconds

Why is the same side of the Moon always visible from Earth?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer

The true fact is that C is what happens in outer space.  Both rotations take 27.3 days.  

A: The exact opposite is true. It does rotate about it's axis.

B: Again this is just plain false. Given the way we observe it, the moon must be rotating around the earth.

D. they don't. 27.3 hours and 24 hours are not the same.

Two charges, Q1 and Q2, are separated by 6·cm. The repulsive force between them is 25·N. In each case below, find the force betw
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

a) 5 N b) 225 N c) 5 N

Explanation:

a) Per Coulomb's Law the repulsive force between 2 equal sign charges, is directly proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the square of  the distance between them, acting along  the  line that joins the charges, as follows:

F₁₂ = K Q₁ Q₂ / r₁₂²

So, if we make Q1 = Q1/5, the net effect will be to reduce the force in the same factor, i.e. F₁₂ = 25 N / 5 = 5 N

b) If we reduce the distance, from r, to r/3, as the  factor is squared, the net effect will be to increase the force in a factor equal to 3² = 9.

So, we will have F₁₂ = 9. 25 N = 225 N

c) If we make Q2 = 5Q2, the force would be increased 5 times, but if at the same , we increase the distance 5 times, as the factor is squared, the net factor will be 5/25 = 1/5, so we will have:

F₁₂ = 25 N .1/5 = 5 N
