Answer:

a) 147.95 Mpc

Explanation:

Using Hubble's formula

v = H_od

where;

v = radical velocity

H_o = Hubble's constant

d = distance

Given that:

The average radial velocity of galaxies in the Hercules cluster v =  10,800 km/s

Also using H_o = 73 km/s/ Mpc ; we  make distance d the subject of the formula:

Then distance d can be written as:

d = \frac{v}{H_o}

d = \frac{10,800  \ km/s}{73 \ km/s/Mpc}

d = 147.95 Mpc

b)

Now, if the Hubble constant had a smaller value, then for a  given velocity the distance to the galaxy will increase because distance d is inversely proportional to H_o

i.e  

d  ∝ \frac{1}{H_0}

Assume you have four fins each with a mass of 8.0 grams what is the total weight if these four fins
irinina [24]
I do believe the answer would be 2.0 each fin because 2.0+2.0=4.0 do that twice you should get 8.0 let me know if that is correct please hope I helped

Equal amounts of heat are added to equal masses of ice and copper at the same initial temperature. Which substance will have the
pychu [463]

One of the major effects of heat transfer is temperature change: heating increases the temperature while cooling decreases it. We assume that there is no phase change and that no work is done on or by the system. Experiments show that the transferred heat depends on three factors—the change in temperature, the mass of the system, and the substance and phase of the substance.

Figure a shows a copper-colored cylinder of mass m and temperature change delta T. The heat Q, shown as a wavy rightward horizontal arrow, is transferred to the cylinder from the left. To the right of this image is a similar image, except that the heat transferred Q prime is twice the heat Q. The temperature change of this second cylinder, which is also labeled m, is two delta T. This cylinder is surrounded by small black wavy lines radiating outward. Figure b shows the same two cylinders as in Figure a. The left cylinder is labeled m and delta T and has a wavy heat arrow pointing at it from the left that is labeled Q. The right cylinder is labeled two m and delta T and has a wavy heat arrow pointing to it from the left labeled Q prime equals two Q. Figure c shows the same copper cylinder of mass m and with temperature change delta T, with heat Q being transferred to it. To the right of this cylinder, Q prime equals ten point eight times Q is being transferred to another cylinder filled with water whose mass and change in temperature are the same as that of the copper cylinder.

If all else is constant, which would cause the greatest increase in kinetic energy of a moving object?
Maru [420]
When mass is doubled, KE is doubled.
When speed is doubled, KE becomes 4 times as great.
When both are doubled (last choice), KE is multiplied by 8 .
