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

A chef places an open sack of flour on a kitchen scale. The scale reading of
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial reading on scale =40 N

So, we can conclude that weight of the sack is 40 N

After this a 10 N force is applied upward on the sack such that the net force becomes (40-10) N downward (because downward force is more)

This net downward force is the resultant of earth graviational pull and the applied upward force.

So, this downward force acts on the machine which inturn applies an upaward force of same magnitude called Normal reaction.

This situation can be diagramatically represented by figure given below

1-A car moves toward east 12km is represented as A and it turns towards south 16km is represented as B. What is the resultant ve
hjlf

1. A-20 km south east

The car's displacement consists of two components into two different directions. Using a system of coordinates in which x represents the east direction and y represents the south direction, the two displacements are:

d_x = 12 km east

d_y = 16 km south

Since the two components are orthogonal to each other, we can find the resultant displacement by using Pythagorean's theorem:

d=\sqrt{d_x^2+d_y^2}=\sqrt{(12 km)^2+(16 km)^2}=\sqrt{400}=20 km

and the direction is between the two original directions, so south-east.

2. D. 10 m/s

First of all, we need to calculate the total time the stone took to hit the ground. Since the vertical distance covered is S = 78.4 m, and since the motion is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, we have

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

From which we find the total time of the fall, t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(78.4 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=4 s

Now we can consider the horizontal motion of the stone: we know that the stone travels for d = 40 m in a time of t = 4 s, therefore the horizontal velocity of the stone is

v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{40 m}{4 s}=10 m/s

3. B=32.32 m

As in the previous problem, we have to calculate the total time it takes for the stone to reach the river first. Since the vertical distance covered is S = 20 m, we have

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(20 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=2.0 s

And since the stone is traveling horizontally at v = 16 m/s, the horizontal distance covered is

d=vt=(16 m/s)(2 s)=32 m

So, the closest answer is B.
