Your options are:
A) It is located at a distance of 2.6 million light years from Earth.
B) It has to travel a distance of 2.6 million kilometers to reach Earth.
C) It can be photographed by a space telescope in 2.6 million years.
<span>D) It has to move at the rate of 2.6 million kilometers per hour to reach Earth

You need to remember the definition of lightyear: one lightyear is the distance that light can travel in one year through space. It is a measure of astronomical distances and it is equal to 9.5×10¹²km.

Therefore, if light takes 2.6 million years to reach Earth, it means that the Andromeda Galaxy is at a distance of 2.6 million lightyears from Earth. 

Hence, the correct answer is A) </span><span>It is located at a distance of 2.6 million light years from Earth.</span>

SP: Calculate the moment
ipn [44]

Answer:

Moment of the force is 20 N-m.

Explanation:

Given:

Force exerted by the person is, F=80\ N

Distance of application of force from the point about which moment is needed is, d=25\ cm=\frac{25}{100}\ m=0.25\ m

Now, we know that, moment of a force 'F' about a point at a perpendicular distance of 'd' from the same point is given as the product of the force and the perpendicular distance.

Therefore, the moment of the force about the end of the claw hammer is given as:

M=F\times d\\\\M=(80\ N)(0.25\ m)\\\\M=20\textrm{ N-m}

Hence, the moment of the force exerted by the person about the end of the claw hammer is 20 N-m.

for an ideal monoatomic gas, the internal energy U os due to the kinetic energy and U=3/2RT per mole.show that cv=3/2R per mole
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

i. Cv =3R/2

ii. Cp = 5R/2

Explanation:

i. Cv = Molar heat capacity at constant volume

Since the internal energy of the ideal monoatomic gas is U = 3/2RT and Cv = dU/dT

Differentiating U with respect to T, we have

= d(3/2RT)/dT

= 3R/2

ii. Cp - Molar heat capacity at constant pressure

Cp = Cv + R

substituting Cv into the equation, we have

Cp = 3R/2 + R

taking L.C.M

Cp = (3R + 2R)/2

Cp = 5R/2

Is visible light a form of<br> radiation? Explain.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Yes,in fact visible 'light' is a form of radiation, which can be defined as an energy that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. It can also be described as a flow of particle-like 'wave-packets', called photons, that travel constantly at the speed of light (about 300 000 kilometres per second).
