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.

Two electrons in a vacuum exert force of F = 3.8E-09 N on each other. They are then moved such that they are separated by x = 8.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

F_n = 5.65E-11 N

d = 1.20682E-31 m

Explanation:

F = 3.8E-09 N

where

m = Mass of electron = 9.109E−31 kilograms

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67E-11 m³/kgs²

x = Distance between them

$F=G\frac{m^2}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow 3.8E-09=G\frac{m^2}{x^2}$

For $F_n$

$F_n=G\frac{m^2}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow F_n=G\frac{m^2}{(8.2x)^2}\\\Rightarrow F_n=G\frac{m^2}{67.24x^2}$

Dividing the above equations we get

$\frac{F}{F_n}=\frac{G\frac{m^2}{x^2}}{G\frac{m^2}{67.24x^2}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{F}{F_n}=67.24\\\Rightarrow F_n=\frac{F}{67.24}\\\Rightarrow F_n=\frac{3.8E-09}{67.24}\\\Rightarrow F_n=5.65E-11\ N$

F_n = 5.65E-11 N

$F=G\frac{m^2}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{Gm^2}{F}}\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{G}{F}}m\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{6.67E-11}{3.8E-09}}9.109E-31\\\Rightarrow x=1.20682E-31\ m$

d = 1.20682E-31 m

When the Glen Canyon hydroelectric power plant in Arizona is running at capacity, 690 m3 of water flows through the dam each sec

igomit [66]

Answer:

The maximum electric power output is $P_{max} =1.339*10^{9} \ W$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The capacity of the hydroelectric plant is $\frac{V}{t} = 690 \ m^3 /s$

The level at which water is been released is $h = 220 \ m$

The efficiency is $\eta =$ 0.90

The electric power output is mathematically represented as

$P = \frac{PE_l - PE _o}{t}$

Where $PE_l$ is the potential energy at level h which is mathematically evaluated as

$PE_l = mgh$

and $PE_o$ is the potential energy at ground level which is mathematically evaluated as

$PE_o = mg(0)$

$PE_o = 0$

$P = \frac{mgh}{t}$

here $m = V * \rho$

where V is volume and $\rho$ is density of water whose value is $\rho = 1000 kg/m^3$

$P = \frac{(\rho * V) * gh}{t}$

$P = \frac{V}{t} * gh \rho$

substituting values

$P =690 * 9.8 * 220 * 1000$

$P =1.488*10^{9} \ W$

The maximum possible electric power output is

$P_{max} = P * \eta$

substituting values

$P_{max} =1.488*10^{9} * 0.90$

$P_{max} =1.339*10^{9} \ W$

What is the charge on 1.0 kg of protons? (e = 1.60 × 10-19 c, mproton = 1.67 × 10-27 kg)?

Andru [333]

First, we need to find the number of protons, which is the total mass divided by the mass of one proton:
$N= \frac{m}{m_p}= \frac{1.0 kg}{1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg}=6.0 \cdot 10^{26}$ protons

Then, the total charge is the number of protons times the charge of a single proton:
$Q=Ne = 6.0 \cdot 10^{26}\cdot 1.60 \cdot 10^{-19} C=9.6 \cdot 10^7 C$
