Answer: Elliptical galaxy

Explanation:

There are mainly three types of galaxies: Spiral, Elliptical and Irregular. Elliptical galaxies do not have any arms unlike spiral galaxies. The elliptical galaxies are smoother and uniform in appearance. These contain relatively old stars with any site of new star formation missing. In fact, scientists consider elliptical galaxies as those galaxies which are nearing the end of their evolution.

Two resistors, A and B, are connected in a series circuit with a battery. The resistance of A is twice that of B. Which resistor

IgorC [24]

Answer:

A dissipates more power.

Explanation:

In a series circuit, the current is the same at any point in it.
The power dissipated in any resistor follows Joule's law, as follows:

$P = I^{2} * R$

So, for a given current, the power is directly proportional to the resistance of the resistor.
In this case, as resistor A has twice the resistance of resistor B, A dissipates twice more power than B.

A trombone plays a C3 note. If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s and the wavelength of this note is

Umnica [9.8K]

The frequency of note C3 is 131 $s^{-1}$ .

<u>Explanation:</u>

Frequency is the measure of repetition of same thing a certain number of times. So frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. As wavelength is distance between two successive crests or troughs in a sound wave.

And frequency is the completion of number of cycles in a given time in sound waves. The frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other with velocity of sound being the proportionality constant.

Thus, here the speed of sound is given as 343 m/s, the wavelength of the note is also given as 2.62 m, then frequency will be as follows:

$Frequency=\frac{speed of sound}{Wavelength of note}$

Thus,

$Frequency = \frac{343 m/s}{2.62 m} = 131 s^{-1}$

So the frequency of note C3 is 131 $s^{-1}$ .

The focal length of the lens of a simple digital camera is 40 mm, and it is originally focused on a person 25 m away. In what di

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here image distance is fixed .

In the first case if v be image distance

1 / v - 1 / -25 = 1 / .05

1 / v = 1 / .05 - 1 / 25

= 20 - .04 = 19.96

v = .0501 m = 5.01 cm

In the second case

u = 4 ,

1 / v - 1 / - 4 = 1 / .05

1 / v = 20 - 1 / 4 = 19.75

v = .0506 = 5.06 cm

So lens must be moved forward by 5.06 - 5.01 = .05 cm ( away from film )
