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

How to use kinetic energy to calculate velocity
BartSMP [9]

As we know the formula of kinetic energy is

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

here given that

KE = 150,000 J

mass = 120 kg

we can use this to find speed

150,000 = \frac{1}{2} * 120 * v^2

v^2 = 2500

v = 50 m/s

So speed of above object is 50 m/s

Question 4. A tuning fork ‘A’ produces 6 beats/sec with another fork ‘B’ of un-known frequency. On
8090 [49]

Clever problem.

We know that the beat frequency is the DIFFERENCE between the frequencies of the two tuning forks.  So if Fork-A is 256 Hz and the beat is      6 Hz, then Fork-B has to be EITHER 250 Hz OR 262 Hz.  But which one is it ?

Well, loading Fork-B with wax increases its mass and makes it vibrate SLOWER, and when that happens, the beat drops to 5 Hz.  That means that when Fork-B slowed down, its frequency got CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A ... their DIFFERENCE dropped from 6 Hz to 5 Hz.

If slowing down Fork-B pushed it CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A, then its natural frequency must be ABOVE Fork-A.

The natural frequency of Fork-B, after it gets cleaned up and returns to its normal condition, is 262 Hz.  While it was loaded with wax, it was 261 Hz.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:The human eye is sensitive to yellow-green light having a frequency of about 5.5*10^{14} ... What is the energy in joules of the photons associated with this light? ... As the wavelength and frequency of a wave are related, we can find the energy ... In order to find this value, we need Planck's Constant, h=6.626×10−34 J⋅s h ...

levacccp [35]

The actual weight of the gas = apparent weight + weight.

The actual weight = W_{A} + W

Given that a plastic bag is massed. It is then filled with a gas which is insoluble in water and massed again.

If the apparent weight of the gas is the difference between these two masses, then let the apparent weight = W_{A}

The gas is squeezed out of the bag to determine its volume by the displacement of water. Since

density = mass / volume

The density of water is 1000 kg/m^{2}

we can get the mass of the gas by making m the subject of the formula.

W = mg

The actual weight of the gas = apparent weight + weight

That is,

The actual weight =  W_{A} + W

If the student hit a drum in his bedroom how would the sound wave behave differently than if he hit it in a swimming pool? Pleas
zlopas [31]
The sound wave would behave differently in a swimming pool than in his bedroom because sound waves travel faster in more dense mediums; such as water. The wave will travel faster in water, and slower in air.
