<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.

The position of a particle moving along the x axis varies in time according to the expression x = 4t 2, where x is in meters and

Pie

Answer:

a) X = 17.64 m

b) X = 17.64 + 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t

c) Velocity = lim(∆t→0)⁡〖∆X/∆t〗 = 16.8 m/s

Explanation:

a) The position at t = 2.10s is:

X = 4t^2

X = 4(2.10)^2

X = 17.64 m

b) The position at t = 2.10 + ∆t s will be:

X = 4(2.10 + ∆t)^2

X = 17.64 + 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t m

c) ∆X is the difference between position at t = 2.10s and t = 2.10 + ∆t so,

∆X= 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t

Divide by ∆t on both sides:

∆X/∆t = 4∆t + 16.8

Taking the limit as ∆t approaches to zero we get:

Velocity =lim(∆t→0)⁡〖∆X/∆t〗 = 4(0) + 16.8

Velocity = 16.8 m/s

Energy is observed in two basic forms: potential and kinetic. Which of the following correctly matches these forms with a source

Travka [436]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

Kinetic energy is the energy which is due to the motion of body.

Potential energy is the energy due to virtue of position of the object.

option A is not true because potential energy is due the position of the body

Option B should be the potential energy not kinetic energy.;

Option D is motion of individual molecule leads to kinetic energy not potential energy.

So, the correct answer is option is the covalent bonds of a sugar molecule is potential energy because of the position of bond.

Mid-ocean ridges happen along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing large volcanic eruptions of basalt.

The distance between two consecutive nodesof a standing wave is 20.9cm.Thehandgen-erating the pulses moves up and down throughac

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Velocity, v = 0.239 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two consecutive nodes of a standing wave is 20.9 cm = 0.209 m

The hand generating the pulses moves up and down through a complete cycle 2.57 times every 4.47 s.

For a standing wave, the distance between two consecutive nodes is equal to half of the wavelength.

$\dfrac{\lambda}{2}=0.209\ m\\\\\lambda=0.418\ m$

Frequency is number of cycles per unit time.

$f=\dfrac{2.57}{4.47}\\\\f=0.574\ Hz$

Now we can find the velocity of the wave.

Velocity = frequency × wavelength

v = 0.574 × 0.418

v = 0.239 m/s

So, the velocity of the wave is 0.239 m/s.
