Describe the main distinguishing features of spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies.

Physics

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.

If the absolute pressure of a gas is 550.280 kPa, its gage pressure is A. 101.325 kPa. B. 651.605 kPa. C. 448.955 kPa. D. 277.28
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Absolute  pressure is sum of gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure.

That is

               P_{abs}=P_{gauge}+P_{atm}

We have

          P_{abs}=550.280 kPa\\\\P_{atm}=1atm=101325Pa=101.325kPa

Substituting

         P_{abs}=P_{gauge}+P_{atm}\\\\550.280=P_{gauge}+101.325\\\\P_{gauge}=448.955kPa

Option C is the correct answer.

What evidence do you that suggest water waves are transverse wave​
svp [43]

Answer:

If you throw a pebble into a pond, ripples

spread out from where it went in. These

ripples are waves travelling through the

water. The waves move with a transverse

motion.

A 50-g cube of ice, initially at 0.0°C, is dropped into 200 g of water in an 80-g aluminum container, both initially at 30°C.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

b. 9.5°C

Explanation:

m_i = Mass of ice = 50 g

T_i = Initial temperature of water and Aluminum = 30°C

L_f = Latent heat of fusion = 3.33\times 10^5\ J/kg^{\circ}C

m_w = Mass of water = 200 g

c_w = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg⋅°C

m_{Al} = Mass of Aluminum = 80 g

c_{Al} = Specific heat of Aluminum = 900 J/kg⋅°C

The equation of the system's heat exchange is given by

m_i(L_f+c_wT)+m_wc_w(T-T_i)+m_{Al}c_{Al}=0\\\Rightarrow 0.05\times (3.33\times 10^5+4186\times T)+0.2\times 4186(T-30)+0.08\times 900(T-30)=0\\\Rightarrow 1118.5T-10626=0\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{10626}{1118.5}\\\Rightarrow T=9.50022\ ^{\circ}C

The final equilibrium temperature is 9.50022°C
