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 $10^{4}$ solar masses).

The most massive and luminous can be found in the center of cluster of galaxies.

A small button placed on a horizontal rotating platform with diameter 0.320 m will revolve with the platform when it is brought

Otrada [13]

Answer:

0.2687 approximately 0.27

Explanation:

Diameter = 0.320

Speed = 40.0 rev/min

We are required to find coefficient of static friction between friction and button

The radius can be calculated as

0.320/2

= 0.160m

Then we have the rotational speed w = 40rev/min x 2pi/60

= 4.19 rad/s

umg = mrw²

u = mrw²/mg

u = rw²/g -------(1)

g = 9.8

When we put values into equation 1

0.150m x 4.19² / 9.8

= 0.150m x 17.5561 /9.8

= 0.2689

This is approximately 0.27

You throw a baseball straight up into the air with a speed of 24.5 m/s. How long does it take the baseball to reach its highest

galben [10]

Time=speed/acceleration
Gravitaional Acceleration=9.8 m/s^2
Speed=24.5 m/s
Time=24.5/9.8=2.5 s

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time. The velocity of the first airplane is 730 m/h at a heading of 65.3 ◦ . The velo

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Plane will 741.6959 m apart after 1.7 hour

Explanation:

We have given time = 1.7 hr

So if we draw the vectors of a 2d graph we see that the difference in angles is = $102^{\circ}-65.3^{\circ}=36.7^{\circ}$

Speed of first plane = 730 m/h

So distance traveled by first plane = 730×1.7 = 1241 m

Speed of second plane = 590 m/hr

So distance traveled by second plane = 590×1.7 = 1003 m

We represent these distances as two sides of the triangle, and the distance between the planes as the side opposing the angle 58.6.

Using the law of cosine, $r^2$ representing the distance between the planes, we see that:

$r^2=1241^2+1003^2-2\times 1003\times 1241cos(36.7)=550112.8295$

r = 741.6959 m

Heat transfers energy from a hot object to a cold object. Both objects are isolated from their surroundings. The change in entro

aniked [119]

To develop this problem we will start from the definition of entropy as a function of total heat, temperature. This definition is mathematically described as

$S = \frac{Q}{T}$

Here,

Q = Total Heat

T = Temperature

The total change of entropy from a cold object to a hot object is given by the relationship,

$\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T_{cold}}-\frac{Q}{T_{hot}}$

From this relationship we can realize that the change in entropy by the second law of thermodynamics will be positive. Therefore the temperature in the hot body will be higher than that of the cold body, this implies that this term will be smaller than the first, and in other words it would imply that the magnitude of the entropy 'of the hot body' will always be less than the entropy 'cold body'

Change in entropy $\Delta S_{hot}$ is smaller than $\Delta S_{cold}$

Therefore the correct answer is C. Will always have a smaller magnitude than the change in entropy of the cold object
