Which of these galaxies would you most likely find at the center of a large cluster of galaxies?
1 answer:
Answer:
b. a large elliptical galaxy
Explanation:
In elliptical galaxies the stars are grouped in an elliptical shape, it has a low quantity of gas and dust in comparison to spiral galaxies, and its stars belong to an old population, there is not new stellar formation in it.
The stars orbit in a messy way which made to believe that they form from the merger of galaxies.
They are also really massive (around solar masses).
The most massive and luminous can be found in the center of cluster of galaxies.

Answer:
Explanation:
Newton's 2nd Law relates the net force <em>F</em> on an object of mass <em>m </em>with the acceleration <em>a</em> it experiments by <em>F=ma.</em> In our case the net force is the friction force, since it's the only one the skier is experimenting horizontally and the vertical ones cancel out since he's not moving in that direction. Our acceleration then will be:
Also, acceleration is defined by the change of velocity in a given time t, so we have:
Since we want the change in velocity, <em>mixing both equations</em> we conclude that:
Which for our values means:
