How is an elliptical galaxy different from a spiral galaxy?

1 answer:

6 0

An elliptical galaxy is a type of galaxy having an approximately ellipsoidal shape and a smooth, nearly featureless brightness profile.

Unlike flat spiral galaxies with organization and structure, they are more three-dimensional, without much structure, and their stars are in somewhat random orbits around the center.

Answer:

Electric force, $F=-3.59\times 10^6\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric charge 1, $q_1=+40\ C$

Electric charge 2, $q_2=-40\ C$

Distance, $d=2\ km=2\times 10^3\ m$

To find,

The electric force between these two sets of charges.

Solution,

There exists a force between two electric charges and this force is called electrostatic force. It is equal to the product of electric charged divided by square of distance between them.

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$

k is the electrostatic constant

$F=8.99\times 10^9\times \dfrac{40\times (-40)}{(2\times 10^3)^2}$

$F=-3.59\times 10^6\ N$

So, the electric force between these two sets of charges is $-3.59\times 10^6\ N$ .

A 200-gram liquid sample of Alcohol Y is prepared at -6°C. The sample is then added to 400 g of water at 20°C in a sealed styrof

Vinil7 [7]

The specific heat capacity of the alcohol will be 3.72 kJ/kg°C.

<h3>What is the specific heat capacity?</h3>

The amount of heat required to increase a substance's temperature by one degree Celsius is known as its "specific heat capacity."

Similarly, heat capacity is the relationship between the amount of energy delivered to a substance and the increase in temperature that results.

Given data;

Mass of liquid sample of Alcohol m₁ = 200-gram

The temperature of alcohol, T₁ = -6°C.

Mass of liquid sample of water m₂ = 400-gram

The temperature of the water, T₂= 20°C.

The specific heat capacity of the alcohol, S₁=?

The specific heat capacity of water is, S₂=4.19 kJ/kg.°C

As we know that;
