A distant galaxy is determined to be 150 million light years distant and moving away from us; using the Hubble law determine its

velocity in terms
Physics

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)

What an object is placed 8 mm from a concave spherical mirror a clear image can be projected on the screen 16 mm in front of me
alexgriva [62]

Concept: The magnification of spherical mirror can be defined by two ways.

(i) In terms of the height of the object and image.

The magnification of the spherical mirror is defined as the ratio of the height of the image'h_{i}' to the height of the object 'h_{o}'. It is denoted by letter 'm'.

Mathematically, it can be written as

m= \frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}   ------------(1)

(ii) In terms of the object's and image's distances.

The magnification of the spherical mirror is defined as the negative ratio of the image distance'd_{i}' to the object distance 'd_{o}'.

Mathematically, it can be written as

m= - \frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}   ------------(2)

Now, from equation (1) and (2) we have,

m = \frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}   = -  \frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}  -----------(3)

Given: Spherical Concave Mirror,

We will consider positive sign for object's and image's distance because both are in front of the mirror.

Object distance (d_{o}) = + 8 mm.

Image distance (d_{i}) = + 16 mm

Object's height (h_{o}) = + 4 mm

Image's height (h_{i}) =?

Now, apply equation (3)

\frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}   = - \frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}

Or,   \frac{h_{i}}{4 mm}   = - \frac{+16 mm}{+8 mm}

Or, hi = - 8 mm

Here; negative sign means, the image will be inverted.

The image's height will be 8 mm.

In order for gravitational potential energy to be stored, there must be _____.
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: 1

an object positioned at some height in a gravitational field

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy stored due to position of the object or position at certain height relative to zero position.

Gravitational potential energy can also be expressed as object position at some height above or below zero position in a gravitational field

I think 1 and 2 make sense. But 1 make more sense than 2
