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.

Why forces are balanced and unbalanced? need help with this the lesson is tommorow
Naya [18.7K]
"Balanced" means that if there's something pulling one way, then there's also
something else pulling the other way. 

-- If there's a kid sitting on one end of a see-saw, and another one with the
same weight sitting on the other end, then the see-saw is balanced, and
neither end goes up or down.  It's just as if there's nobody sitting on it.

-- If there's a tug-of-war going on, and there are 300 freshmen pulling on one
end of a rope, and another 300 freshmen pulling in the opposite direction on
the other end of the rope, then the hanky hanging from the middle of the rope
doesn't move.  The pulls on the rope are balanced, and it's just as if nobody
is pulling on it at all.

-- If a lady in the supermarket is pushing her shopping cart up the aisle, and her
two little kids are in front of the cart pushing it in the other direction, backwards,
toward her.  If the kids are strong enough, then the forces on the cart can be
balanced. Then the cart doesn't move at all, and it's just as if nobody is pushing
on it at all.

From these examples, you can see a few things:

-- There's no such thing as "a balanced force" or "an unbalanced force".
It's a <em><u>group</u> of forces</em> that is either balanced or unbalanced.

-- The group of forces is balanced if their strengths and directions are
just right so that each force is canceled out by one or more of the others.

-- When the group of forces on an object is balanced, then the effect on the
object is just as if there were no force on it at all.

A spring stretches by 0.0208 m when a 3.39-kg object is suspended from its end. How much mass should be attached to this spring
sashaice [31]

Answer:

COMPLETE QUESTION

A spring stretches by 0.018 m when a 2.8-kg object is suspended from its end. How much mass should be attached to this spring so that its frequency of vibration is f = 3.0 Hz?

Explanation:

Given that,

Extension of spring

x = 0.0208m

Mass attached m = 3.39kg

Additional mass to have a frequency f

Let the additional mass be m

Using Hooke's law

F= kx

Where F = W = mg = 3.39 ×9.81

F = 33.26N

Then,

F = kx

k = F/x

k = 33.26/0.0208

k = 1598.84 N/m

The frequency is given as

f = ½π√k/m

Make m subject of formula

f² = ¼π² •(k/m

4π²f² = k/m

Then, m4π²f² = k

So, m = k/(4π²f²)

So, this is the general formula,

Then let use the frequency above

f = 3Hz

m = 1598.84/(4×π²×3²)

m = 4.5 kg
