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.

Determine the linear velocity of an object with an angular velocity of 5.9 radians per second at a distance of 12 centimeters fr
Andre45 [30]
The linear velocity of a rotating object is the product of the angular velocity and the radius of the circular motion. Angular velocity is the rate of the change of angular displacement of a body that is in a circular motion. It is a vector quantity so it consists of a magnitude and direction. From the problem, the angular velocity is 5.9 rad per second and the radius is given as 12 centimeters. We calculate as follows:

Linear velocity = angular velocity (radius)
Linear velocity = 5.9 (12 ) = 70.8 cm / s

The linear velocity of the body in motion is 70.8 centimeters per second or 0.708 meters per second.

If two stars are the same size and one is twice the temperature of the other, how much more luminous is the hotter one? quizlit
Dmitriy789 [7]
The hotter star will be 16 times more luminous  - luminosity depends on two things  - the size of the star and the temperature of the star. The hotter a star is, the more energy it will give out. This will give rise to greater luminosity.

A car travelling 95 km/h is 210 behind a truck travelling 75 km/h. how long will it take the care to reach the truck
masya89 [10]
<span>37.8 seconds First, determine the speed difference between the car and truck. 95 km/h - 75 km/h = 20 km/h Convert that speed into m/s to make a more convenient unit of measure. 20 km/h * 1000 m/km / 3600 s/h = 5.556 m/s Now it's simply a matter of dividing the distance between the two vehicles and their relative speed. 210 m / 5.556 m/s = 37.8 s So it will take 37.8 seconds for the car to catch the truck that's 210 meters in front of the car.</span>

Which quantities indicate a direction and a magnitude?<br>Check all that apply.​
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Vector, in physics, a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude. Although a vector has magnitude and direction, it does not have position.

Explanation:

The only thing I found in my notes for this question was this although it isn't in your choices, I just hope this helps you and hope you get it right!
