The number of moons a planet has orbiting around it is determined by...

1 answer:

7 0

We have no idea. There are probably many things involved ... the planet's mass,
the availability of small bodies in the neighborhood that can be captured, etc.

A test car starts from rest on a horizontal circular track of 115-m radius and increases its speed at a uniform rate to reach 90

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

a= 3.49 m/s^2

Explanation:

magnitude of total acceleration = sqrt{radial acceleration^2+tangential acceleration^2}.

we know that tangential acceleration a_t= change in velocity /time taken

now 90 km/h = 25 m/s

a_t = 25/17 = 1.47 m/s^2.

radial acceleration a_r = v^2/r

v= a_t×t = 1.47×13 = 19.11 m/s

a_r = 19.11^2/115= 3.175

now,

$a= \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}$

$a= \sqrt{1.47^2+3.175^2}$

a= 3.49 m/s^2

If the distance of a galaxy is 2,000 Mpc, how many years back into the past are we looking when we observe this galaxy

ruslelena [56]

The age of the galaxy when we look back is 13.97 billion years.

The given parameters:

<em>distance of the galaxy, x = 2,000 Mpc</em>

According Hubble's law the age of the universe is calculated as follows;

v = H₀x

where;

H₀ = 70 km/s/Mpc

$T = \frac{x}{V} \\\\T = \frac{x}{xH_0} \\\\T = \frac{1}{H_0} \\\\T = \frac{1}{70 \ km/s/Mpc} \\\\T = \frac{1 \ sec}{70 \times 3.24 \times 10^{-20} } \\\\T = 4.41 \times 10^{17} \ sec\\\\T = \frac{4.41 \times 10^{17} \ sec\ \times \ years}{3600 \ s \ \times\ 24\ h\ \times \ 365.25 \ days} \\\\T = 1.397 \times 10^{10} \ years\\\\T = 13.97 \ billion \ years$
