Answer: Speed of galaxy B with respect to galaxy A = 0.8

Speed of galaxy C with respect to galaxy A = 1.4

Explanation:

Let the speed of galaxy A with respect to galaxy B be Vab & it is equal to Va - Vb = -0.8

Let the speed of galaxy C with respect to galaxy B be Vcb = Vc - Vb = 0.6

Speed of galaxy B with respect to galaxy A = Vba = Vb - Va = -Vab = -(-0.8) = 0.8

Speed of galaxy C with respect to galaxy A = Vca = Vc - Va

But from above, Vc - Vb = 0.6; Vc = 0.6 + Vb

And Va - Vb = -0.8; Va = -0.8 + Vb

Vca = Vc - Va = 0.6 + Vb - (-0.8 + Vb) = 0.6 + Vb + 0.8 - Vb = 0.6 + 0.8 = 1.4

Why can light travel through outer space, but sound cannot?
WINSTONCH [101]
Usually, sound needs a medium to travel through, like a vacuum for example. 

Light does not need a medium to travel, and since air is considered a medium, light is not dependent on that. 

On the other hand, sound needs a medium to travel through, and outer space doesn't contain space, therefore, no sound.

Two fish swimming in a river have the following equations of motion:
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The second fish, X2, is moving faster than the first fish, X1

Explanation:

The given parameters for the equation of motion of the fishes are;

X1 = -6.4 m + (-1.2 m/s)×t

X2 = 1.3 m + (-2.7 m/s)×t

The given equation are straight line equations in the slope and intercept form, where the slope is the speed and in m/s and the intercept is the starting point of swimming of the fishes

For the first fish, the intercept = -6.4 m, the slope = the  speed = -1.2 m/s

For the second fish, the intercept = 1.3 m, the slope = the  speed = -2.7 m/s

Whereby the fishes are swimming in the opposite direction of the measurement of length, we have;

The magnitude of the speed of the second fish \left | -2.7 \ m/s \right | = 2.7 \ m/s, is larger than the magnitude of the speed of the first fish \left | -1.2 \ m/s \right | = 1.2 \ m/s

Therefore, the second fish, X2, is moving faster than the first fish, X1.

Two stones, one with twice the mass of the other, are thrown straight up and rise to the same height h. Compare their changes in
Lady bird [3.3K]
<h2>The gravitational potential energy is double for stone with twice the mass of other stone.</h2>

Explanation:

Let mass of stone 1 be m.

Mass of stone 2 is twice the mass of stone 1.

Mass of stone 2 = 2m

We know that

  Gravitational potential energy = Mass x acceleration due to gravity x Height

  PE = mgh

For stone 1 ,

                PE₁ = mgh

For stone 2 ,

                PE₂ = 2mgh = 2 PE₁

So the gravitational potential energy is double for stone with twice the mass of other stone.
