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

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 .

A car has uniform velocity of 108km/hour. How far does it travel in 1 1/2 minutes

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

2.7km

Explanation:

Two methods: Convert km/hour to km/minutes or convert 3/2 minutes to hours.

Then multiply time to get the distance of the car traveled.

1) The mass of the continent is $3.3\cdot 10^{21}kg$

2) The kinetic energy of the continent is 1683 J

3) The speed of the jogger must be 6.57 m/s

Explanation:

1)

The continent can be represented as a slab of size

$d=5850 km = 5.85\cdot 10^6 m$

and depth

$t = 35 km = 3.5\cdot 10^4 m$

So its volume is

$V=d^2 t = (5.85\cdot 10^6)^2(3.5\cdot 10^4)=1.20\cdot 10^{18} m^3$

We also know that the density of the continent is

$\rho = 2750 kg/m^3$

Therefore, we can calculate its mass as:

$m=\rho V=(2750)(1.20\cdot 10^{18})=3.3\cdot 10^{21} kg$

2)

The kinetic energy of the continent is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is its mass

v is its speed

We have already calculate its mass, while the speed is

v = 3.2 cm/year

We have to convert into SI units first, as follows:

$v=3.2 \frac{cm}{year} \cdot \frac{1}{100 cm/m} \cdot \frac{1}{(365 d/y)(24h/d)(60min/h)(60 s/min)}=1.01\cdot 10^{-9} m/s$

The mass is

$m=3.3\cdot 10^{21} kg$

So, the kinetic energy of the continent is

$K=\frac{1}{2}(3.3\cdot 10^{21})(1.01\cdot 10^{-9})^2=1683 J$

3)

Here we have a jogger having the same kinetic energy of the continent, so

$K=1683 J$

And the kinetic energy of the jogger can be expressed as

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m = 78 kg is the mass of the jogger

v is his speed

We can therefore re-arrange the equation to find the speed of the man, and we get:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1683)}{78}}=6.57 m/s$
