I think that the correct reporting of the given values are 10⁴² kg for the Milky Way and 10⁵³ kg for the whole universe. That would be logical in that case. Since it is mentioned that each galaxy has the same mass as the Milky Way, then the number of galaxies in the universe are:

Number of galaxies = 10⁵³ kg/10²⁴ kg = 10¹¹ or 100 trillion galaxies

What is the kinetic energy of a 620.0 kg roller coaster moving with a velocity of 9.00 m/s?
Darina [25.2K]
The kinetic energy of a moving object is calculated through the equation,
                         KE = 0.5mv²
where m is the mass and v is the velocity. 
Substituting the known values,
                         KE = 0.5(620 kg)(9 m/s)²
                           KE = 25,110 J
Thus, the kinetic energy is equal to 25,110 J.

A golf ball stays on the tee until the golf club hits it. Which of the following principles best describes why this occurs? Grou
givi [52]

Answer:

Newton's First Law of Motion.

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that an object continues to stay in its state of rest, or of uniform motion, until acted upon by an external force.

So in the case of the golf ball here, the ball stays in its state of rest, on the tee, until the golf club hits it, i.e. , applies an external force on it.

Hence we can say that Newton's First Law of Motion is the principle which is most suitable for explaining this phenomenon.

In the previous part, you determined the maximum angle that still allows the crate to remain at rest. If the coefficient of fric
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

B. The maximum angle decreases

Explanation:

If θ be the maximum angle of a slope that allows a crate placed on it to remain at rest , following condition exists .

tanθ = μ , θ is called angle of repose . μ is coefficient of static friction .

So the tan of angle of repose θ is proportional to coefficient of static friction.

If coefficient of static friction is less than .7 , naturally angle of repose will also become less ,ie,  it at lower angle of inclination , the object will start slipping .
