Why does the volume of water in a cylinder increase when it is heated

Heat causes the water molecules to move faster. As the molecules move apart, the water has a greater volume and less density.

1. How do galaxies change over time? 2. How are galaxies created? 3. How was Hubble important to our understanding of galaxies?
VashaNatasha [74]

Hi!


1. Galaxies are constantly evolving with time, and one manner that they do this is that they change their rotation. This is apparent from the knowledge we have of initially formed galaxies which are spiral like in the beginning, but over time transform into what seems like smooth, barren disks. Another difference is that some galaxies are younger than others, and the age difference is observed with younger galaxies having a higher number of stars that are also comparatively brighter, which makes these galaxies look blue. Older galaxies contain older stars, and older stars are seen to give off red light, which is why these galaxies seem red. Galaxies also undergo various physical and chemical changes, and older galaxies are more structured.


2. Galaxies are brought into formation with the major factor being gravity. The force of gravity is responsible for attracting various stars, collapsing gas, dust clouds and other dark matter into a structured body. Over time the organization becomes more defined. So basically, a galaxy starts off as clouds of dust and stars in space, which come into proximity with other similar clouds, and their subsequent interactions shape the structure of the galaxy.


3. Edwin Hubble, also known as the 'pioneer of distant stars', has contributed to out understanding of galaxies in that he was the first person to prove the existence of galaxies other than the Milky Way, through his studies on spiral nebulae (which were formerly thought to be clouds of dust and gas, but were actually galaxies). He also established the relationship of red shift of a galaxy (recession velocity) and the distance of the galaxy from the Earth - a directly proportional relationship, which is known as the Hubble's Law.


4. The Milky Way is found to be considerably larger, about ten times, than the average dwarf galaxy being 100,000 light years across in diameter. The Milky Way is home to 200 billion stars, and with the capacity (dust and gas) to give rise to billions more. The Milky Way is the biggest galaxy in the Virgo Supercluster, and is relatively old in comparison with most other galaxies within the universe.


5. Dark matter and gravity play a role in determining the structure of the galaxy and influences the environment over time. Dark matter contributes to the mass of the galaxy, and this affects the spin of the galaxy. The more the mass of a galaxy (or more massive a galaxy) the greater would be its rotation. Gravity is the acting force that holds the components of galaxy in place, such as the dust clouds, colonies of star, gas and dark matter. Gravity influences the structure in that it exerts and inward pull on the stars, resulting in the spiral arm structure of a galaxy, which over time tends to be more eclipse like.


Hope this helps!

Which of these would not contribute to a global increase in temperature?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

planting trees - increasing the amount of animal life on earth

Explanation:

from all the other options given, all except planting trees will increase global temperature.

1. deforestation: this removes vegetative cover and the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere.

2. increasing the use of gasoline burning vehicles: burning gasoline produces carbon dioxide which is a green house gas which traps heat in the atmosphere and causes global warming

3. increasing the industrial release of carbon dioxide: carbon dioxide is released when gasoline is burned in industries, this in-turn causes global warming.

Trees produces oxygen and sucks in carbon dioxide which causes global warming. more trees mean more oxygen and less carbon dioxide which translates to less global increase in temperature

A circuit consists of a series combination of 6.50 −kΩ and 4.50 −kΩ resistors connected across a 50.0-V battery having negligibl
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Part A: 16.1 V

Part B: 20.5 V

Part C: 21.5%

Explanation:

The voltmeter is in parallel with the 4.5-kΩ resistor and the combination is in series with the 6.5-kΩ resistor. The equivalent resistance of the parallel combination is given as

\dfrac{1}{R_E}=\dfrac{1}{4.50}+\dfrac{1}{10.0}

R_E=\dfrac{4.50\times10.0}{4.50+10.0} = 3.10

Part A

The voltmeter reading is the potential difference across the parallel combination. This is found by using the voltage-divider rule.

V_1 = \dfrac{3.10}{3.10+6.50}\times50.0 = \dfrac{3.10}{9.60}\times50.0 = 16.1 \text{ V}

Part B

Without the voltmeter, the potential difference across the 4.5-kΩ resistor is found using the same rule as above:

V_2 = \dfrac{4.50}{4.50+6.50}\times50.0 = \dfrac{4.50}{11.0}\times50.0 = 20.5 \text{ V}

Part C

The error in % is given by

\dfrac{20.5-16.1}{20.5}\times100\% = \dfrac{4.4}{20.5}\times100\% = 21.5\%

How much energy ( in joules ) is released when 0.06 kilograms of mercury is condensed to a liquid at the same temperature ?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

B. 17,705.1 J

Explanation:

The hear released when the mercury condenses into a liquid is given by:

Q=m \lambda_v

where

m = 0.06 kg is the mass of the mercury

\lambda_v is the latent heat of vaporization

For mercury, the latent heat of vaporization is \lambda_v = 296 kJ/kg, so the heat released during the process is:

Q=(0.06 kg)(296 kJ/kg)=17.76 kJ = 17,760 J

So, the closest option is

B. 17,705.1 J

What does the revolution of the moon do to it?
Degger [83]

Answer:

The Moon revolves or moves around the Earth in a path called its orbit and rotates, or spins, in space.

Explanation: The Moon's movements cause the phases of the Moon and the Earth's ocean tides.
