The arms of a spiral galaxy have lots of gas and dust, and they are often areas where new stars are constantly forming. The bulge of a spiral galaxy is composed primarily of old, red stars. Very little star formation goes on in the bulge.

Exactly what it's named after: a spiral. Think of a spiral galaxy like a CD disk. The arms of it are filled with stars, dust, gases, etc.

A jet airliner moving initially at 406 mph (with respect to the ground) to the east moves into a region where the wind is blowin

astraxan [27]

Answer:

966 mph

Explanation:

Using as convention:

- East --> positive x-direction

- North --> Positive y-direction

The x- and y- components of the initial velocity of the jet can be written as

$v_{1x} = 406 mph\\v_{1y} = 0$

While the components of the velocity of the wind are

$v_{2x} = (568)(cos 15^{\circ})=548.6 mph\\v_{2y} = (568)(sin 15^{\circ})=147.0 mph$

So the components of the resultant velocity of the jet are

$v_x = v_{1x}+v_{2x}=406+548.6=954.6 mph\\v_y = v_{1y}+v_{2y}=0+147.0=147.0 mph$

And the new speed is the magnitude of the resultant velocity:

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(954.6)^2+(147.0)^2}=965.8 mph \sim 966 mph$

What is the least force you could exert on the refrigerator to move it?

Ulleksa [173]

<span>If the refrigerator weights 1365 and you are not exerting any vertical force on it, then the normal force is also 1365N. so Fn=1365

Fsf = Static frictional force = (coefficient of static friction) * (Normal force)

So the least for you could exert to move it is equal to the Fsf.
Fsf = (0.49)(1365N)</span><span>
