Answer: SBb

On 1930 the astronomer Edwin Hubble classified the galaxies based on their visual appearance into elliptical, spiral and irregular, being the first two classes the most frequent.  

So, according to this classification, the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy (SBb in Hubble's notation system) because it has a central bar-shaped structure of bright stars that spans from one side of the galaxy to the other. In addition, its spiral arms seem to emerge from the end of this "bar".

Scientifics considered this, after measuring the the disk and central bulge region of the galaxy, and the conclusion is the Milky Way fulfills these conditions, because is a galaxy that orbits on its same axis and with this rotation its arms are twisted in opposite directions around the mentioned axis.

The water behind Grand Coulee Dam is 1000 m wide and 200 m deep. Find the hydrostatic force on the back of the dam. (Hint: the t
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The hydro static force on the back of the dam is 1.96\times10^{11}\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Width b= 1000 m

Depth d= 200 m

We need to calculate the average pressure

Using formula of  average pressure

P_{avg}=\rho\times g\times d_{avg}

Put the value into the formula

P_{avg}=1000\times9.8\times100

P_{avg}=980000\ Pa

We need to calculate  the hydro static force on the back of the dam

Using formula of force

F = P_{avg}\times A

Put the value into the formula

F = 980000\times1000\times200

F=1.96\times10^{11}\ N

Hence, The hydro static force on the back of the dam is 1.96\times10^{11}\ N

A horizontal desk surface measures 1.7 m by 1.0 m. If the Earth's magnetic field has magnitude 0.42 mT and is directed 68° below
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The magnetic flux through the desk surface is 6.6\times10^{-4}\ T-m^2.

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field B = 0.42 T

Angle =68°

We need to calculate the magnetic flux

\phi=BA\costheta

Where, B = magnetic field

A = area

Put the value into the formula

\phi=0.42\times10^{-3}\times1.7\times1.0\cos22^{\circ}

\phi=0.42\times10^{-3}\times1.7\times1.0\times0.927

\phi=6.6\times10^{-4}\ T-m^2

Hence, The magnetic flux through the desk surface is 6.6\times10^{-4}\ T-m^2.

A small hot-air balloon is filled with 1.01×106 l of air (d = 1.20 g/l). as the air in the balloon is heated, it expands to 1.10
lara31 [8.8K]
<span>Volume of air in the balloon 1.01 x 10^6 L
 Density of air is 1.20 g/l
 Mass = Density X Volume

 So mass of the air in the Balloon= ( 1.01 x 10^6) X 1.20 = 1.212 x 10^6 g
 As the air is heated, the volume of air in the balloon expands to 1.10x 10^6 L Density= Mass/ voume So the Density of heated air = 1.212 x 10^6/ 1.10x 10^6 = 1.101 g/l The answer is 1.101 g/l.</span>

How can submarines use echolocation to tell how close they are to the bottom of the ocean?
Lapatulllka [165]
To locate a specific target or to determine how close submarines are to the seafloor, they use active and passive sound navigation and ranging (or a SONAR, in simple terms.) It emits pulses of sound waves that travel through the water, reflect off the target and relayed back to the ship. By determining how fast the sound wave travels back, the computers on the sub calculate how far they are from the target.

Hope this helps.
