If we use 1 millimeter to represent 1 light-year, how large in diameter is the Milky Way Galaxy?

Physics

storchak [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

d.100 meters

Explanation:

The diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years.

Here we are using 1 millimiter (1 mm) to represent 1 light-year (1 ly). So, we can set the following proportion:

1 mm : 1 ly = x : 100,000 ly

and by finding x, we find the diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy in the scale used:

x=\frac{(1mm )(100,000 ly)}{1 ly}=100,000 mm = 100 m

so the correct answer is

d. 100 meters

When 224-nm light falls on a metal, the current through a photoelectric circuit is brought to zero at a stopping voltage of 1.84
OLga [1]

Answer:

3.71 eV

Explanation:

λ = Wavelength of light = 224 nm = 224 x 10⁻⁹ m

c = speed of electromagnetic wave = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

V₀ = stopping potential = 1.84 volts

W₀ = Work function of the metal = ?

Using the equation

\frac{hc}{\lambda } = eV_{o} + W_{o}

\frac{(6.63\times 10^{-34})(3\times 10^{8})}{224\times 10^{-9} } = (1.6\times 10^{-19})(1.84) + W_{o}

W_{o} = 5.94 x 10⁻¹⁹

W_{o} = 3.71 eV

What characteristics determine how easily two substances change temperature
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer;

Amount of time the two substances are in contact

Area in contact between the two substances

Specific heat of the material that makes up the substances

Explanation;

The change in temperature of a substance is caused by heat energy. The change in temperature will depend on factors such as mass of the substance, the type of material it is made from, the time taken , specific heat of the material that makes the substance, and also the area of contact.

The amount of time the two substances are in contact affect the change in temperature such that if the two bodies are in contact for a longer time then a bigger change in temperature will be observed.

Specific heat capacity also determines the change in temperature that will be observed, such that a substance with a bigger specific heat capacity will record a small change in temperature.

Which of the following describes the effect of a convex mirror on light rays?
natulia [17]
B. It reflects light rays outward.

A convex mirror looks like this ⊂.  So when light rays hit the outward curves, it bends the light rays outwards, and backwards,  and it would appear to be coming from its center called the focus.
