Answer:

According to NASA and their Hubble Space Telescope, we have 4 different types of galaxies, the 3 main ones being elliptical, spiral, and irregular.

Explanation:

Elliptical galaxies are shaped almost like an oval. They do not have any "arms" like you imagine in most galaxies, like our own Milky Way. An example would be galaxy ESO 325-G004.

Spiral galaxies are shaped almost like a circle and has arms "spiraling" out from the center. An example of a spiral shaped galaxy would be our own galaxy, the Milky Way.

Irregular galaxies do not have a definite shape. They are usually shaped randomly and can consist of any shape. An example would be galaxy NGC 1569.

The 4th and obscene type of galaxy is called the Lenticular galaxy. This is simply almost like a cross section between an elliptical galaxy and a spiral galaxy combined together. It is shaped like a disk and has no arms. An example would be galaxy NGC 5010.

How does the force of gravity affect the rate of acceleration?

Vesnalui [34]

Gravity lets all objects fall to the ground at the same speed, 9.8 m/s/s. If the force of gravity were stronger, such as 10 m/s/s, the rate of acceleration would be faster.

Answer:

In m/s^2:

a=11.3778 m/s^2

In units of g:

a=1.161 g

Explanation:

Since the racing greyhounds are capable of rounding corners at very high speed so we are going use the following formula of acceleration for circular paths.

$a=\frac{v^2}{r}$

where:

v is the speed

r is the radius

Now,

$a=\frac{16^2}{45/2}\\ a=11.3778 m/s^2$

In g units:

$a=\frac{11.3778\ g}{9.8}\\ a=1.161\ g$

Bogdan [553]

A rotating disc supplied with constant power where the relationship of the angular velocity of the disc and the number of rotations made by the disc is governed by Newton's second law for rotation. This law is specially made for rotating bodies which is extracted from Newton's second law of motion.
