How was Edwin Hubble able to use his discovery of Cepheids in Andromeda to prove that the "spiral nebulae" were actually galaxie

s external to the Milky Way?
Physics
1 answer:
Ad libitum [116K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:  The correct answer is :  From the period-luminosity relation for Cepheids, he was able to determine the distance to Andromeda and show that it was far outside the Milky Way Galaxy.

Explanation:  Hubble's law says that the recession velocity of a galaxy is directly proportional to its distance from us. Hubble measured the distance to the Andromeda galaxy by applying the period-luminosity relationship to Cepheid.

The curved section of a speedway is a circular arc having a radius of 190 m. this curve is properly banked for racecars moving a
Anestetic [448]

The banking angle of the curved part of the speedway is determined as 32⁰.

<h3>Banking angle of the curved road</h3>

The banking angle of the curved part of the speedway is calculated as follows;

V(max) = √(rg tanθ)

where;

  • r is radius of the path
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

V² = rg tanθ

tanθ = V²/rg

tanθ = (34²)/(190 x 9.8)

tanθ = 0.62

θ = arc tan(0.62)

θ = 31.8

θ ≈ 32⁰

a volleyball is hit upward with an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s. calculate the displacement of the volleyball when its final velo
Luden [163]

Answer:

The displacement of the volleyball is 2.62 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the volleyball, u = 7.5 m/s

final velocity of the volleyball, v = 2.2 m/s

displacement of the volleyball, d = ?

Apply the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² - 2gd

2gd = u² - v²

d = \frac{u^{2}-v^{2}  }{2g}\\\\d = \frac{7.5^{2}-2.2^{2}  }{2*9.8}\\\\d = 2.62 \ m

Therefore, the displacement of the volleyball is 2.62 m

Calculate the potential energy of a 20-kg sled at 40 meters
irakobra [83]

Answer: 7840N

Explanation:

Given that

Potential energy = ?

Mass of sled = 20-kg

Distance = 40 meters

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Recall that potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at rest

i.e potential energy = mass m x acceleration due to gravity g x distance h

P.E = mgh

P.E = 20kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 40m

P.E = 7840N

Thus, the potential energy of the sled is 7840N
