The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are members of the Local Group, a cluster of more than 50 galaxies spread across a spherica

l volume with a diameter of 10 million light years. Imagine you could create a scale model of the Local Group with the Milky Way and represented as circular plates with diameters of 24 cm. What would be the diameter (in m) of your spherical scale model of the Local Group?

Answer:

2400 cm

Explanation:

The milky way has diameter of 100000 light years.

100000\ ly=24\ cm\\\Rightarrow 1\ ly=\frac{24}{100000}\ cm

The local group is the collection of galaxies which includes the milky way.

10 million light years is the diameter of the local group.

10\times 10^6\ ly=10\times 10^6\times \frac{24}{100000}\ cm\\\Rightarrow 10\times 10^6\ ly=2400\ cm

Hence, the diameter of the scale model of the local group would be 2400 cm

How long was a 50 W lightbulb left on for if 500,002 J were burned?
saveliy_v [14]

" 50 W " means " 50 Watts "  or  " 50 Joules per second ".

(500,002 J) / (50 J/sec)  =  <em>10,000.04 seconds</em>

(That's 2 hours 46 minutes 40.04 seconds.)

A skateboarder travels on a horizontal surface with an initial velocity of 4.0 m/s toward the south and a constant acceleration
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

a) 0.32 m b) -2.4 m c) 1.08 m/s d) -4 m/s

Explanation:

a)

  • As the x and y axes (as chosen) are perpendicular each other, the movements along these axes are independent each other.
  • This means that we can use the kinematic equations for displacements along both axes.
  • In the x direction, as the only initial velocity is in the south direction (-y axis), the skateboarder is at rest, so we can write:

        x =\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} (1)

  • In the y-direction, as no acceleration is acting on the skateboarder, we can write  the following displacement equation:

        y = v_{0y} * t  (2)

  • For t = 0.6s, replacing by the givens, we get the position (displacement from the origin) on the x-axis, as follows:

       x =\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} =\frac{1}{2} * 1.8 m/s2*(0.6s)^{2}\\ x = 0.32 m

b)

  • From (2) we can get the position on the y-axis (displacement from the origin) as follows:

        y = v_{0y} * t  =  -4 m/s * 0.6 s = -2.4 m

c)

  • In the x- direction, we can find the component of the velocity along this direction, as follows:

        v_{fx} = a*t

  • Replacing by the values, we have:

        v_{fx} = a*t = 1.8 m/s2 * 0.6 s = 1.08 m/s

d)

  • As the skateboarder moves along the y-axis at a constant speed equal to her initial velocity, we  have:

        vfy = voy = -4 m/s
