Answer:

Spiral galaxies consist of a flat, rotating disk of stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge. These are surrounded by a much fainter halo of stars, many of which reside in globular clusters.

Elliptical galaxies have smooth, featureless light-profiles and range in shape from nearly spherical to highly flattened, and in size from hundreds of millions to over one trillion stars. In the outer regions, many stars are grouped into globular clusters. Most elliptical galaxies are composed of older, low-mass stars, with a sparse interstellar medium and minimal star formation activity They are often chaotic in appearance, with neither a nuclear bulge nor any trace of spiral arm structure. Collectively they are thought to make up about a quarter of all galaxies.

irregular galaxies were once spiral or elliptical galaxies but were deformed by gravitational action. they are shapeless.

The lons entering the mass spectrometer have the same charges. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 8.20 kV
Ratling [72]

The calculated magnitude is  6.73 x 10³ V/m.

AMU is described as being one-twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom (12C). C makes up more than 98% of the carbon that can be found in nature, making it the most prevalent isotope. The magnitude of the field is the change in potential across a small distance in the indicated direction divided by that distance.

Potential difference = 8.20 kV= 8.20 x 10³ V

radius= 19.4/100=0.194 m

total distance that is circumference of the circle= 2πr =2 x 3.14 x 0.194

                                                                               = 1.218 m

therefore Magnitude= 8.20 x 10³ / 1.218

                                  =6.73 x 10³ V/m

2. A multipurpose wiring tool can be used to
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Option C

Crimp terminals

Explanation:

It's possible to crimp terminals using a multipurpose wiring tool. Since the tool  selected for use during crimping also depends on the volume of work, the multipurpose wiring tool is recommended for use when the volume is small to medium. Basically, crimping tools are sized according to the wire gauge that they can fit. Since multipurpose has different sizes, that's why it's used for crimping tools.
