What type of galaxy has mostly old stars, without a lot of star formation?

Elliptical galaxies, such as M87 (left), have very little gas and dust. Because gas and dust are found in the clouds that are the birthplaces of stars, we should expect to see very few young stars in elliptical galaxies. In fact, elliptical galaxies contain primarily old, red stars (also known as Population II stars).

Elliptical galaxies vary widely in size. Both the largest and the smallest known galaxies are elliptical. Very large elliptical galaxies can reach 300 million light years in diameter. Dwarf ellipticals, which are very common, may contain only 1/100,000th as many stars as the Milky Way!

An old light bulb draws only 54.3 W, rather than its original 60.0 W, due to evaporative thinning of its filament. By what facto
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of old light bulb = 54.3 W

Power = 60 W

We know that,

The resistance is inversely proportional to the diameter.

R\propto\dfrac{1}{D}

The power is inversely proportional to the resistance.

P\propto\dfrac{1}{R}

P\propto D^2

We need to calculate the factor of the diameter of the filament reduced

Using relation of power and diameter

\dfrac{P_{i}}{P_{f}}=\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}=\dfrac{54.3}{60}

\dfrac{D_{i}}{D_{f}}=0.95

D_{i}=0.95 D_{f}

Hence, The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

A rock is dropped off a cliff and falls the first half of the distance to the ground in 2.0 seconds. how long will it take to fa
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The answer is 0.83 seconds.

Explanation:

The formula of free fall is following:

h=1/2*g*t^2

Where g=9.8 m/s^2 and t=2 seconds, the rock takes:

h=1/2*9.8*2^2=19.6

19.6 meters. This is the half distance of the cliff. The whole distance is 39.2 meters. So it takes:

39.2=1/2*9.8*t^2\\t^2=8\\t=2.83

2.83 second to fall down completely. The rock takes the second half of the cliff in 0.83 seconds

The magnetic field in a cyclotron is 1.25 T, and the maximum orbital radius of the circulating protons is 0.40 m. (a) What is th
Darya [45]

Answer:

1.92 x 10⁻¹²J

Explanation:

The magnetic force from the magnetic field gives the circulating protons gives the particle the necessary centripetal acceleration to keep it orbiting round the circular path. And from Newton's second law of motion, the force(F) is equal to the product of the mass(m) of the proton and the centripetal acceleration(a). i.e

F = ma

Where;

a = \frac{v^2}{r}             [v = linear velocity, r = radius of circular path]

=> F = m\frac{v^2}{r}           ------------(i)

We also know that the magnitude of this magnetic force experienced by the moving charge (proton) in a magnetic field is given by;

F = q v B sin θ       ----------(ii)

Where;

q = charge of the particle

v = velocity of the particle

B = magnetic field

θ = the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field.

Combining equations (i) and (ii) gives

m\frac{v^2}{r} = q v B sin θ           [θ = 90° since the proton is orbiting at the maximum orbital radius]

=> m\frac{v^2}{r} = q v B sin 90°

=> m\frac{v^2}{r} = q v B

Divide both side by v;

=> m\frac{v}{r} = qB

Make v subject of the formula

v = \frac{qBr}{m}

From the question;

B = 1.25T

m = mass of proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg

r = 0.40m

q = charge of a proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C

Substitute these values into equation(iii) as follows;

v = \frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(1.25)(0.4)}{(1.67*10^{-27})}

v = 4.79 x 10⁷m/s

Now, the kinetic energy, K, is given by;

K = \frac{1}{2}mv²

m = mass of proton

v = velocity of the proton as calculated above

K = \frac{1}{2}(1.67*10^{-27} * (4.79 * 10^7)^2 )

K = 1.92 x 10⁻¹²J

The kinetic energy is 1.92 x 10⁻¹²J
