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

Ad libitum [116K]4 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.

A bubble at the bottom of the lake to the surface within 10.0 seconds what is the depth of the lake
stira [4]
I normal bubble starts at the speed of 10mph then speeds up +5 each second. so this would be 600 meters. also, it depends on the density of the water and whats inside the water or liquid in the lake. there are many factors that will change this speed.

The voltage applied across a given parallel-plate capacitor is doubled. How is the energy stored in the capacitor affected?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

The energy stored in the capacitor quadruples its original value.

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by the equation

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C is the capacitance

V is the voltage across the plates

The capacitance, C, depends only on the properties of the capacitor, so it does not change when the voltage applied is changed.

Instead, in this problem the voltage applied is doubled:

V' = 2V

So the new energy stored is

U'=\frac{1}{2}C(2V)^2=4(\frac{1}{2}CV^2)=4U

so, the energy stored has quadrupled.
