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 conductor is initially electrically neutral, and then a charge q is placed at the center of the hollow space. Suppose the co
Anvisha [2.4K]

The total charge on the interior of the conductor is zero.

The total charge on the exterior of the conductor is 8q.

<h3>Total charge on the interior</h3>

Due to large number of electrons available for conduction in a conductor, most of the electrons moves to surface leaving zero net charge inside the conductor.

Thus, the total charge on the interior of the conductor is zero.

<h3>Total charge on the exterior</h3>

The total charge on the exterior of the conductor is calculated as follows;

Q = q + 7q = 8q

Thus, the total charge on the exterior of the conductor is 8q.

Two forces of magnitudes 4.0 Newtons and 3.0 Newtons pull on a box. The forces make an angle of 40° with each other. What is the
leonid [27]

Answer:

6.6 N

Explanation:

Let's take the direction of the force of 4.0 N as positive x-direction. This means that the force of 3.0 N is at 40 degrees above it. So the components of the two forces along the x- and y-directions are:

F_{1x} = 4.0 N\\F_{1y} = 0

F_{2x} = 3.0 N cos 40^{\circ}=2.3 N\\F_{2y} = 3.0 N sin 40^{\circ} = 1.9 N

So the resultant has components

F_x = F_{1x}+F_{2x}=4.0 N +2.3 N = 6.3 N\\F_y = F_{1y} + F_{2y} = 0 + 1.9 N = 1.9 N

So the magnitude of the resultant is

F=\sqrt{F_x^2 +F_y^2}=\sqrt{(6.3)^2+(1.9)^2}=6.6 N

And in order for the body to be balanced, the third force must be equal and opposite (in direction) to this force: so, the magnitude of the third force must be 6.6 N.

When are you most aware of your motion in a moving vehicle: when it is moving steadily in a straight line or when it is accelera
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Acceleration is percieved, not constant velocity.

Explanation:

You are most aware when the vehicle is accelerating. At constant velocity you would not be aware of the motion. Only if the system is accelerated the dynamics must be solved considering a pseudo-force (of inertial origin) acting.

It's because of this that:

(A) False. The acceleration can be detected from the inside of a closed car.

(B) False. You would be aware of the motion, but not because humans can sense speed but acceleration.

(C) False. Constant velocity cannot be felt in a closed car.

(D) False. Again, you can't feel constant speed.
