Answer:

False

Explanation:

The two population of stars in our galaxy are nowhere near similar in many characteristics.

For instance, the stars in the milky way galaxy are about 2/3 of all observable stars. Yes, the populations of stars in the milky way and outside of it are both large, but the population in the milky way galaxy is double that of elsewhere.

A comet fragment of mass 1.96 × 1013 kg is moving at 6.50 × 104 m/s when it crashes into Callisto, a moon of Jupiter. The mass o

Answer:

Recoil speed, $1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the comet fragment, $m_1=1.96\times 10^{13}\ kg$

Speed of the comet fragment, $v_1=6.5\times 10^4\ m/s$

Mass of Callisto, $m_2=1.08\times 10^{23}\ kg$

The collision is completely inelastic. Assuming for this calculation that Callisto's initial momentum is zero. So,

$m_1v_1=(m_2+m_2)V$

V is recoil speed of Callisto immediately after the collision.

$V=\dfrac{m_1v_1}{(m_2+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{1.96\times 10^{13}\times 6.5\times 10^4}{(1.96\times 10^{13}+1.08\times 10^{23})}\\\\V=1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s$

So, the recoil speed of Callisto immediately after the collision is $1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s$

A car that is traveling in a straight line at 40 km/h can brake to a stop within 20 m. If the same car is traveling at 120 km/h

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

180 m

Explanation:

Case 1.

U = 40 km/h = 11.1 m/s, V = 0, s = 20 m

Let a be the acceleration.

Use third equation of motion

V^2 = u^2 + 2 as

0 = 11.1 × 11.1 - 2 × a × 20

a = 3.08 m/s^2

Case 2.

U = 220 km/h = 33.3 m/s, V = 0

a = 3.08 m/s^2

Let the stopping distance be x.

Again use third equation of motion

0 = 33.3 × 33.3 - 2 × 3.08 × x

X = 180 m

A cross-country skier travels 40 meters north in 2 minutes. What is the skiers velocity?

allsm [11]

Answer:

v = 0.33 [m/s]

Explanation:

We must remember that speed is defined as the relationship between the displacement in a given time. In this way, we can propose the following equation.

$v=d/t$
