Answer:

Elliptical galaxies

Explanation:

Edwin Hubble classified galaxies into three categories

Elliptical

Spiral

Lenticular

The elliptical galaxies have an elipsoidal shape roughly. They have stars which are old and the primary light source of the galaxy. The formation of new stars is very limited. This increases the brightness of the galaxy. The mass of the stars are low. So, far the percentage elliptical galaxies is low compared to other galaxies.

If a pendulum has a period of 4 seconds at the north pole with gravity force 9.83 ms^-2 and a 3.97m pendulum length, how could t

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The same pendulum could be adjusted to have the same period, in the equator must have a length of 3.949m.

Explanation:

Tnp= 4 sec

gnp= 9.83 m/sec²

Lnp= 3.97m

Tequ= 4 sec

gequ= 9.78 m/sec²

Lequ=?

Lequ= (Lnp* gequ) / gnp

Lequ= 3.949 m

Which of the following represents the wavelength of a wave?

dlinn [17]

Answer: D. the distance between the highest points of consecutive waves

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is defined as the <em>distance traveled by a periodic perturbation that propagates through a medium in a given time interval</em>. It is usually represented by $\lambda$ and can be calculated if the frequency of the wave is known, since there is an inverse relationship between both.

In the specific case of a periodic sine wave (which is the way in which a wave is usually represented graphically) the wavelength can be determined as the distance between two consecutive maxima of the disturbance.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
