<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 adaptation of a cheetah is shown in the image which shows it running is its long and strong legs to run fast which is denoted as option B.

<h3>What is Adaptation?</h3>

These are the physical and behavioral features which ensures that they survive in their changing environment.

Cheetahs are known to have long and strong legs which is the reason why it runs at a very high speed.

Study the image.

NNADVOKAT [17]

C. the left plate is positively charged
when looking at these arrows imagine there is a positive electron at the beginning of the arrow. Since the electrons are going towards the plate to the right it is attracted to the negatively charged plate. These electrons want to get away from the positively charged plate because same charges repulse each other

What frequency is received by a stationary mouse just before being dispatched by a hawk flying at it at 24.7 m/s and emitting a

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

f' = 3665.51 Hz

Explanation:

given,

speed of the hawk = 24.7 m/s

frequency of screech emitted by the hawk = 3400 Hz

speed of sound = 331 m/s

By Doppler's effect

$f' = (\dfrac{v}{v-v_s}})f$

f' is the frequency received by the mouse

v is the speed of the sound

v_s is the speed of the hawk

now,

$f' = \dfrac{341}{341-24.7}}\times 3400$

f' = 1.078 x 3400

f' = 3665.51 Hz

The frequency received by the stationary mouse is equal to 3665.51 Hz

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The beat frequency is 5.5 Hz.

Explanation:

f = 110 Hz, T = 600 N , T' = 540 N

let the frequency is f'.

$\frac{f'}{f}=\sqrt\frac{T'}{T}\\\\\frac{f'}{f}=\sqrt\frac{540}{600}\\\\\frac{f'}{f}=0.95\\\\f'= 104.5 Hz$

So, the beat frequency is f - f' = 110 - 104.5 = 5.5 Hz
