Most distances in the Galaxy are measured in light-years instead of meters. Why do you think this is the case?

Answer and Explanation:

Most of the distances in the galaxy are measured in light years instead of meter because the distances in galaxy are very large and it is very difficult to measure in meters and light year is the largest unit of distance so it is very easy to measure large distances in light year so we prefer light year instead of meters for measuring distances in galaxy.

Two forces Upper FSubscript Upper A Baseline Overscript right-arrow EndScripts and Upper FSubscript Upper B Baseline Overscript

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Part a)

$F_A = 4.59 N$

Part B)

$F_B = 1.28 N$

Explanation:

As we know that when both the forces are acting on the object in same direction then we will have

$F_A + F_B = ma$

as we know that

$a = 0.554 m/s^2$

m = 10.6 kg

now we will have

$F_A + F_B = 10.6(0.554)$

$F_A + F_B = 5.87 N$

Now two forces are in opposite direction then we have

$F_A - F_B = 10.6(0.313)$

$F_A - F_B = 3.32 N$

Part A)

Now we will have from above two equation

$F_A = 4.59 N$

Part B)

Similarly for other force we have

$F_B = 1.28 N$

Nuclear energy is released during: fission. radioactive decay. man-induced splitting of atoms. Match the basic components of a nuclear reactor with their descriptions. 1. slows down neutrons -> moderator. 2. absorb emitted neutrons -> control rods.
