In the 1920s what did Edmund hubble notice about the galaxies

1 answer:

5 0

Hubble noticed that the galaxies were moving away from us, which meant the universe was expanding.

This is why constellations change over time. In some years, the Big Dipper won't actually look like a dipper anymore.

A truck covers 47.0 m in 8.60 s while smoothly slowing down to final speed of 2.30 m/s. (a) Find its original speed.

Kruka [31]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, s = 47 m

Time taken, t = 8.6 s

Final speed of the truck, v = 2.3 m/s

Let u is the initial speed of the truck and a is its acceleration such that :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$ .............(1)

Now, the second equation of motion is :

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Put the value of a in above equation as :

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}\times t^2$

$s=\dfrac{t(u+v)}{2}$

$u=\dfrac{2s}{t}-v$

$u=\dfrac{2\times 47}{8.6}-2.3$

u = 8.63 m/s

So, the original speed of the truck is 8.63 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A box is at rest on a ramp at an incline of 22°. The normal force on the box is 538 N.

fomenos

Answer: 580 N

Refer to attached figure.

The angle of inclination is 22 degrees

weight (gravitational force) acts downwards.

Normal force is a contact force which acts perpendicular to the point of contact.

The horizontal component (mg cos 22 ) balances the normal force and the vertical component balances the frictional force.

Gravitational force on an object = mg

The normal force $N= mg cos 22$

$\Rightarrow mg =\frac{N}{cos22}=\frac{538 N}{0.927}=580 N$

During exercise, the amount of ____________ carried in the blood to the muscles increases.

ipn [44]

<span>The correct answer is: Oxygen

Explanation:
In order to function properly (movement etc.) during exercise, muscles require oxygen. During exercise, the depth as well as the rate of breathing increase, which in turn increases the amount of oxygen inhaled. In order to expand and contract lungs and for other bodily movements, muscles require oxygen, and for that, more oxygen is carried in the blood to muscles. Hence, the correct answer is Oxygen.</span>
