Suppose that you measure a galaxy's redshift, and from the redshift you determine that its recession velocity is 30,000 (3×10^4)

kilometers per second. According to Hubble's law, approximately how far away is the galaxy?

Answer:

1.4 billion light years away

Explanation:

v = Recessional velocity = 30000 km/s[/tex]

H_0 = Hubble constant = \frac{65}{3.2\times 10^6}\ ly

D = Distance to the galaxy

According to Hubble's law

v=H_0D\\\Rightarrow D=\frac{v}{H_0}\\\Rightarrow D=\frac{3\times 10^{4}}{65}\times 3.2\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow D=1476923076.92307\ ly\\\Rightarrow D=1.4\times 10^9\ ly

The galaxy is 1.4 billion light years away

Andy Petite pitches a 0.8 kg baseball with a velocity of 67 m/s. Josh Hamilton
kodGreya [7K]

The Impulse delivered to the baseball is 89 kgm/s.

To solve the problem above, we use the formula of impulse.

⇒ Formula:

  • I = m(v-u)................. Equation 1

Where:

  • I = Impulse delivered to the baseball
  • m = mass of the baseball
  • v = Final velocity of the baseball
  • u = initial speed of the baseball

From the question,

⇒ Given:

  • m = 0.8 kg
  • u = 67 m/s
  • v = -44 m/s

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

  • I = 0.8(-44-67)
  • I = 0.8(-111)
  • I = -88.8
  • I ≈ -89 kgm/s

Note: The negative tells that the impulse is in the same direction as the final velocity and therefore can be ignored.

Hence, The Impulse delivered to the baseball is 89 kgm/s.

What figure represents a longitudinal figure
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The wavelength can always be determined by measuring the distance between any two corresponding points on adjacent waves. In the case of a longitudinal wave, a wavelength measurement is made by measuring the distance from a compression to the next compression or from a rarefaction to the next rarefaction.

To understand the distinction between mass and weight and to be able to calculate the weight of an object from its mass and Newt
Firdavs [7]

Answer: A.E.

Explanation: To understand the distinction between mass and weight and to be able to calculate the weight of an object from its mass and Newton's law of gravitation. The concepts of mass and weight are often confused. In fact, in everyday conversations, the word "weight" often replaces "mass," as in "My weight is seventy-five kilograms"
