A particular spiral galaxy can be approximated by a thin disk-like volume 62 Thousand Light Years in radius and 7 Hundred Light

Years thick. If this Galaxy contains 1,078 Billion stars, estimate the average distance between the stars in this galaxy. Hint: calculate the average volume per star in cubic Light Years, and then estimate the approximate linear dimension across such a volume. (Indicate your answer to one decimal place.)

Answer:

Approximate linear dimension is 2 light years.

Explanation:

Radius of the spiral galaxy r = 62000 LY

Thickness of the galaxy h = 700 LY

Volume of the galaxy = πr²h

                                   = (3.14)(62000)²(700)

                                   = (3.14)(62)²(7)(10)⁸

                                   = 84568×10⁸

                                   = 8.45\times 10^{12} (LY)³

Since galaxy contains number of stars = 1078 billion stars ≈ 1.078\times 10^{12}

Now volume covered by each star of the galaxy = \frac{\text{Total volume of the galaxy}}{\text{Number of stars}}

= \frac{8.45\times 10^{12} }{1.078\times 10^{12}}

= 7.839 Light Years

Now the linear dimension across the volume

= (\text{Average volume per star})^{\frac{1}{3}}

= (7.839)^{\frac{1}{3}}

= 1.99 LY

≈ 2 Light Years

Therefore, approximate linear dimension is 2 light years.

Answer:

Bullying in the schools has negative effects on individual students and on the school climate as a whole. Bullying can cause long-term problems for both the victims of bullying and the bullies themselves. To explore the effects of bullying on adolescents, we will define bullying, identify the characteristics of bullies and victims, outline the extent and consequences of bullying, and present resources for further information and assistance.

Bullying is any behavior that is initiated by one or more students against a victim or victims that causes physical or psychological intimidation. Bullying behaviors can be classified as either direct (such as teasing, threatening, hitting, or stealing) or indirect (such as rumor spreading or social isolation). Boys typically employed direct methods of bullying, while girls tend to use in direct methods. Either way, behaviors must occur repeatedly overtime to be classified as bullying.

Characteristics of Bullies and Victims

There are specific behaviors that bullies tend to exhibit. The bullies often need to feel powerful and in control. They may feel no remorse when they inflict injury and suffering on others. Bullies tend to defy authority and are likely to break school rules. They seem to have little anxiety and appear to possess high self-esteem. Students who come from homes characterized by physical punishment tend to be more likely to exhibit these types of behaviors.

Victims also tend to exhibit specific characteristics. They are often anxious, insecure, cautious, and have low self-esteem. Victims tend to be socially isolated, and may lack social skills and friends. Because they tend to be weaker than their peers, either physically or socially, victims rarely retaliate against bullies. Students who have close ties with their parents/guardians or who have overprotective parents/guardians are more likely to be victimized by bullies.

Calculate the wavelength of the electromagentic waves with the given frequencies, and determine the type of electromagnetic radi
ololo11 [35]

To develop this problem we require the concepts related to wavelength and its expression to calculate it.

The wavelength is given by

\lambda =\frac{c}{f}

Where,

c=3*10^8 m/s light velocity

f = frequency.

Our values are given by,

f_1=4.38*10^{14}Hz

f_2= 4.14*10^{20}Hz

f_3 = 3.24*10^{12}Hz

Then,

\lambda_1=\frac{3*10^8}{4.38*10^{14}}= 6.8493*10^{-7}m Visible

\lambda_2=\frac{3*10^8}{4.14*10^{20}}= 7.24*10^{-13}m Gamma Ray

\lambda_3=\frac{3*10^8}{3.24*10^{12}}= 9.259*10^{-5}m Infrared

<em>*Note the designation on the type of rays that are, can be found in consulted via On-line or in the optical books referring to the electromagnetic spectrum table with their respective ranges.</em>

Will two separate 50db sounds together constitute a 100db sound explain mathematical
vfiekz [6]
Putting together two distinct 50 dB sound, do not create a 100 dB sound. Since decibels are logarithm of energy, creating two sounds together only makes the energy increase but the logarithm only goes up by somehow little. So increasing the sound by 10 dB, only makes it 10000 times louder because each 10 dB increase in sound makes the sound 10 times louder.

Twice as loud is an increase of 10Log (2) = 3.01 dB. So, 53,01 dB is twice as loud as 50dB.
