How are light years used to measure distances in the universe

1 answer:

4 0

A light year is a unit of distance. It is a distance that light can travel in a years time which is six trillion miles. It is used to measure the distances in space. To take one example, the distance to the next nearest big galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy, from earth is 21,000,000,000,000,000,000 km.

Answer:

Average acceleration on first part of the chunk is given as

$a_1 = 13.125 m/s^2$

Average acceleration on second part of the chunk is given as

$a_2 = -13.125 m/s^2$

Explanation:

By momentum conservation along x direction we will have

$mv_i = \frac{m}{2}v_1 + \frac{m}{2}v_2$

so we have

$v_1 + v_2 = 2v$

$v_1 + v_2 = 4.68$

also by energy conservation

$\frac{1}{2}(\frac{m}{2})v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{m}{2})v_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = 17 J$

$\frac{1}{4}m(v_1^2 + v_2^2) - \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = 17$

$(v_1^2 + v_2^2) - 2v^2 = \frac{4}{7.7}(17)$

$(4.68 - v_2)^2 + v_2^2 - 2v^2 = 8.83$

$21.9 + 2v_2^2 - 9.36 v_2 - 10.95 = 8.83$

$2v_2^2 - 9.36v_2 + 2.12 = 0$

by solving above equation we will have

$v_1 = 4.44 m/s$

$v_2 = 0.24 m/s$

Average acceleration on first part of the chunk is given as

$a_1 = \frac{4.44 - 2.34}{0.16}$

$a_1 = 13.125 m/s^2$

Average acceleration on second part of the chunk is given as

$a_2 = \frac{0.24 - 2.34}{0.16}$

$a_2 = -13.125 m/s^2$

Which factor indicates the amount of charge on the source charge?

Westkost [7]

Answer:

B. the number of field lines on the source charge

Explanation:

As we know that electric flux is defined as the number of electric field lines passing through a given area.

So here electric flux due to a point charge "q" is given by

so here we know that flux depends on the magnitude of charge and hence we can say that number of filed lines originating from a point charge will depends on the magnitude of the charge.
