Would you expect to observe every supernova in our own Galaxy? Why or why not?

Physics
1 answer:
Taya2010 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Only few supernova are observed in our galaxy -

Type II supernovae ( i.e. the explosions of the massive stars ) occurred in the Milky Way, and they might be hidden by the intervening dust if they are located in the more distant parts of our Galaxy .

Type Ia supernovae , which need a white dwarf star in the binary star system , are brighter than the type II supernovae , but some of them could also happen in the older parts of Galaxy which are hidden due to the buildup of the dust and gas .

When a person plucks a guitar string, the number of half wavelengths that fit into the length of the string determines the _____
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Frequency

Explanation:

Each half wavelength has a point of largest amplitude (aka a node). Depending on the wavelength each node oscillates at a certain rate of swings per unit of time. The latter is referred to as frequency and measure in Hertz [Hz].

What type of galaxy is M82 based on its appearance in the visible-light view?
SSSSS [86.1K]
<h2>Answer: irregular</h2>

According to Hubble  galaxies are classified into elliptical, spiral and irregular.

 

It should be noted this classification is based only on the visual appearance of the galaxy, and does not take into account other aspects, such as the rate of star formation or the activity of the galactic nucleus.  

The classification is as follows:  

1. Elliptical galaxies: Their main characteristic is that the concentration of stars decreases from the nucleus, which is small and very bright, towards its edges. In addition, they contain a large population of old stars, usually little gas and dust, and some newly formed stars.  

2. Spiral galaxies: They have the shape of flattened disks containing some old stars and also a large population of young stars, enough gas and dust, and molecular clouds that are the birthplace of the stars.  

3. Irregular Galaxies:  Galaxies that do not have well-defined structure and symmetry.  

In this context, galaxy M82 does not match with the first two types of galaxies, because it has not a defined shape.

Therefore, M82 is an  irregular galaxy.

Explain why air masses do not mix
kati45 [8]

 

Different densities have to have a reason - different pressure and/or humidity etc. If there is a different pressure, there is a mechanical force that preserves the pressure difference: think about the cyclones that have a lower pressure in the center. The cyclones rotate in the right direction and the cyclone may be preserved by the Coriolis force.

If the two air masses differ by humidity, the mixing will almost always lead to precipitation - which includes a phase transition for water etc. It's because the vapor from the more humid air mass gets condensed under the conditions of the other. You get some rain. In general, intense precipitation, thunderstorms, and other visible isolated weather events are linked to weather fronts.

At any rate, a mixing of two air masses is a nontrivial, violent process in general. That's why the boundary is called a "front". In the military jargon, a front is the contested frontier of a conflict. So your idea that the air masses could mix quickly and peacefully - whatever you exactly mean quantitatively - either neglects the inertia of the air, a relatively low diffusion coefficient, a low thermal conductivity, and/or high latent heat of water vapor. A front is something that didn't disappear within minutes so pretty much tautologically, there must be forces that make such a quick disappearance impossible.

A 1300 kg car moving at 20 m/s and a 900 kg car moving at 15 m/s in precisely oppositedirections participate in a head-on crash.
miskamm [114]

Given

Car 1

m1 = 1300 kg

v1 = 20 m/s

m2 = 900 kg

v2 = -15 m/s

(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)

Procedure

As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,

\begin{gathered} m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \\ v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2} \\ v=\frac{1300\operatorname{kg}\cdot20m/s-900\operatorname{kg}\cdot15m/s}{1300\operatorname{kg}+900\operatorname{kg}} \\ v=5.681m/s \end{gathered}

Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.
