E. Galaxy Cluster

Explanation:

A galaxy cluster, or cluster of galaxies, is a structure that consists of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of galaxies that are bound together by mutual gravity.

A megaparsec is a million parsecs and there are about 3.3 light years in a mega-parsec. Parsec is rather a natural distance unit for astronomers. The standard abbreviation of a mega-parsec is Mpc.

A parsec is approximately 3.09 x 1016 meters, a megaparsec is about 3.09 x 1022 meters.

Hence, 8 megaparsecs is gigantic size and that can be only of a galaxy cluster consisting of hundreds and thousands of galaxies bounded together.

A bottle rocket takes off with a = 34.5 m/s2. It

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:3.4 seconds

Explanation:

Initial velocity(u)=0

acceleration=34.5m/s^2

Height(h)=200m

Time =t

h=u x t - (gxt^2)/2

200=0xt+(34.5xt^2)/2

200=34.5t^2/2

Cross multiply

200x2=34.5t^2

400=34.5t^2

Divide both sides by 34.5

400/34.5=34.5t^2/34.5

11.59=t^2

t^2=11.59

Take them square root of both sides

t=√(11.59)

t=3.4 seconds

In the nuclear fission process mass is converted into energy. Determine the total mass that must be converted to energy in one y

brilliants [131]

Answer:

1) Mass that needs to be converted at 100% efficiency is 0.3504 kg

2) Mass that needs to be converted at 30% efficiency is 1.168 kg

Explanation:

By the principle of mass energy equivalence we have

$E=mc^{2}$

where,

'E' is the energy produced

'm' is the mass consumed

'c' is the velocity of light in free space

Now the energy produced by the reactor in 1 year equals

$Energy=Power\times time\\\\\therefore Energy=1\times 10^{9}\times 365\times 24\times 3600\\\\Energy=31.536\times 10^{15}Joules$

Thus the mass that is covertred at 100% efficiency is

$mass=\frac{Energy}{c^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{9\times 10^{16}}\\\\\therefore mass=0.3504kg$

Part 2)

At 30% efficiency the mass converted equals

$mass|_{30}=\frac{mass|_{100}}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=\frac{0.3504}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=1.168kg$
