Answer:

The answer is 30 degrees.

Explanation:

The angle between the index and pinky fingers is 15 degrees.

Twice this angle is 2×15=30degrees.

Which of these galaxies would you most likely find at the center of a large cluster of galaxies?

Arada [10]

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.

Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 240-Hz sound wave. What is the smallest separation distance b

AveGali [126]

Answer:

The smallest separation distance between the speakers is 0.71 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 240-Hz sound wave, f = 240 Hz

Let the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air. The speed of sound is given by the formula as :

$v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{240\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=1.42\ m$

To produce destructive interference at a listener standing in front of them,

$d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\d=\dfrac{1.42}{2}\\\\d=0.71\ m$

So, the smallest separation distance between the speakers is 0.71 m. Hence, this is the required solution.

What kind of fluctuations in weather patterns do you expect to see in your area? Will the fluctuations or changes vary by month,

balandron [24]

Prevailing definitions of climate are not much different from “the climate is what you expect, the weather is what you get”. Using a variety of sources including reanalyses and paleo data, and aided by notions and analysis techniques from Nonlinear Geophysics, we argue that this dictum is fundamentally wrong. <span>In addition to the weather and climate, there is a qualitatively distinct intermediate regime extending over a factor of ≈ 1000 in scale.Climate changes is projected to affect individual organisms, populations, ... Overall, there is a strong correlation between topographic slope and velocity from ... the ecosystems they live in—will adapt to these changes, or if they even can.</span>

In an experiment, a rectangular block with height h is allowed to float in two separate liquids. In the first liquid, which is w

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The relative density of the second liquid is 7.

Explanation:

From archimede's principle we know that the force that a liquid exerts on a object equals to the weight of the liquid that the object displaces.

Let us assume that the volume of the object is 'V'

Thus for the liquid in which the block is completely submerged

The buoyant force should be equal to weight of liquid

Mathematically

$F_{buoyant}=Weight\\\\\rho _{1}\times V\times g=m\times g\\\\\therefore \rho _{1}=\frac{m}{V}...............(i)$

Thus for the liquid in which the block is 1/7 submerged

The buoyant force should be equal to weight of liquid

Mathematically

$F'_{buoyant}=Weight\\\\\rho _{2}\times \frac{V}{7}\times g=m\times g\\\\\therefore \rho _{2}=\frac{7m}{V}.................(ii)$

Comparing equation 'i' and 'ii' we see that

$\rho_{2}=7\times \rho _{1}$

Since the first liquid is water thus $\rho _{1}=1gm/cm^3$

Thus the relative density of the second liquid is 7.
