An astronomer discovers an object at a distance of 28 Mpc from the Earth. (Recall, M-prefix meaning Mega, i.e. times 106 ) At th

is distance, what is the object most likely to be?

AVprozaik [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The object is most likely to be a (distant) galaxy

Explanation:

Distance of galaxies are often calculated based on the unit of light year.

The abbreviation, mpc which translates to mega parsec

A mega parsec is equivalent to 3.3 light years.

So, if the astronomer sighted the object from a distance of 28mpc which is equivalent to 28 * 3.3 light-years (92.4 light years); the object is most likely to be a galaxy; a distant galaxy

What is a homopolar motor?????)
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

A homopolar motor is a direct current electric motor with two magnetic poles, the conductors of which always cut unidirectional lines of magnetic flux by rotating a conductor around a fixed axis so that the conductor is at right angles to a static magnetic field.

6. A satellite is orbiting Earth just above its surface. The centripetal force making the satellite follow a circular trajectory
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Engular velocity: w=1,24*10^{-3}/s

Linear velocity: V=7905 m/s

The time it takes:

t=5060s=84min

Explanation:

The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration can be related to the angular velocity and radius as:

(1)a=r*w^{2}

Solving for w:

(2)w=\sqrt{\frac{a}{r} }

Replacing a=9,8m/s2 and r=6,375,000m:

(3)w=\sqrt{\frac{9,8m/s^{2}}{6375000m} }=1,24*10^{-3}/s

And the angular velocity relates to the linear velocity:

V=w*r=1,24*10^{-3}/s*6375000m=7905 m/s

The perimeter of the orbit is:

P=\pi *2*r=\pi *2*6375000m=40.05*10^{6}m

The time it takes:

t=\frac{P}{V} =\frac{40.05*10^{6}m}{7905 m/s}=5060s=84min

A car travelling at 5.0 m/s starts to speed up. After 3.0 s its velocity has increased to 11 m/s. a) What is its acceleration? (
lions [1.4K]

initially, the car is traveling at 5.0 m/s.

so, we know acceleration for changing velocity is :

a = (v-v_{o})/t ..........(i)

where v is the final velocity

v_{o} is the initial velocity

t is the time taken to change velocity

Now, as per the question :

initial velocity, v_{o}=5.0 m/s

final velocity, v =11 m/s

time taken, t = 3 s

putting the values in equation (i),

a = ( 11-5 )/3

a = 2 m/s²

Therefore, a, after 3 s, is  <em>2 m/s².</em>

You have a double slit experiment, with the distance between the two slits to be 0.025 cm. A screern is 120 cm behind the double
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the two slits d= 0.025 cm

Distance between the screen and slits D = 120 cm

Distance between the slits y= 1.52 cm

We need to calculate the angle

Using formula of double slit

\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{D}

Where, y = Distance between the slits

D = Distance between the screen and slits

Put the value into the formula

\tan\theta=\dfrac{1.52}{120}

\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{1.52}{120}

\theta=0.725

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

d\sin\theta=n\lambda

Put the value into the formula

0.025\times\sin0.725=5\times\lambda

\lambda=\dfrac{0.025\times10^{-2}\times\sin0.725}{5}

\lambda=6.326\times10^{-7}\ m

\lambda=633\ nm

Hence, The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.
