A distant galaxy has a redshift z = 5.82 and a recessional velocity vr = 287,000 km/s (about 96% of the speed of light.) Notice

that the equation z=vrcz=vrc does not hold true for recessional velocities approaching the speed of light. What is the distance to the galaxy in light years?

Answer: 4100 Mpc

Explanation:

Since H o = 70 km/s/Mpc

Redshift z = 5.82

Recessional velocity vr = 287,000 km/s

Then, the distance to the galaxy in light years will be:

= Recessional velocity / H o

= 287000 / 70

= 4100 Mpc

Use the table below to answer the following questions. Substance Specific Heat (J/g•°C) water 4.179 aluminum 0.900 copper 0.385
lbvjy [14]

1. -8.78 \cdot 10^5 J

The energy lost by the water is given by:

Q=m C_s \Delta T

where

m = 3.0 kg = 3000 g is the mass of water

Cs = 4.179 J/g•°C is the specific heat

\Delta T=10.0C-80.0C=-70.0 C is the change in temperature

Substituting,

Q=(3000 g)(4.179 J/gC)(-70.0 C)=-8.78 \cdot 10^5 J

2. 3.24 \cdot 10^4 J

The energy added to the aluminium is given by:

Q=m C_s \Delta T

where

m = 0.30 kg = 300 g is the mass of aluminium

Cs = 0.900 J/g•°C is the specific heat

\Delta T=150.0 C-30.0C =120.0 C is the change in temperature

Substituting,

Q=(300 g)(0.900 J/gC)(120.0 C)=3.24 \cdot 10^4 J

3a. -5.6^{\circ}C

The temperature change of the water is given by

\Delta T=\frac{Q}{m C_s}

where

Q = -232 kJ=-2.32\cdot 10^5 J is the heat lost by the water

m=10.0 kg=10000 g is the mass of water

Cs = 4.179 J/g•°C is the specific heat

Substituting,

\Delta T=\frac{-2.32\cdot 10^5 J}{(10000g)(4.179 J/gC)}=5.6^{\circ}C

3b. +10.2^{\circ}C

The temperature change of the copper is given by

\Delta T=\frac{Q}{m C_s}

where

Q = 1.96 kJ=1960 is the heat added to the copper

m= 500 g is the mass of copper

Cs = 0.385 J/g•°C is the specific heat

Substituting,

\Delta T=\frac{1960 J}{(500g)(0.385 J/gC)}=10.2^{\circ}C

4. 42.9 g

The mass of the water sample is given by

m=\frac{Q}{C_S \Delta T}

where

Q=4300 J is the heat added

\Delta T=39 C-15 C=24C is the temperature change

Cs = 4.179 J/g•°C is the specific heat

Substituting,

m=\frac{4300 J}{(4.179 J/gC)(24 C)}=42.9 g

5. 115.5 J

The heat used to heat the copper is given by:

Q=m C_s \Delta T

where

m = 5.0 g is the mass of copper

Cs = 0.385 J/g•°C is the specific heat

\Delta T=80.0 C-20.0C =60.0 C is the change in temperature

Substituting,

Q=(5.0 g)(0.385 J/gC)(60.0 C)=115.5 J

6. 0.185 J/g•°C

The specific heat of iron is given by:

C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}

where

Q = -47 J is the heat released by the iron

m = 10.0 g is the mass of iron

\Delta T=25.0-50.4 C=-25.4 C is the change in temperature

Substituting,

C_s = \frac{-47 J}{(10.0 g)(-25.4 C)}=0.185 J/gC

Luda [366]

Answer:

The average velocity is 180 km/hr

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity, u = 60 km per hour

final velocity, v = 120 km per hour

initial time = 1 hour

final time = 2 hour

Initial position = 60 km/h x 1 hour = 60 km

final position = 120 km/h x 2 hour = 240 km

The average velocity is given by;

V_{avg} = \frac{Final \ position\  - \ Initial \ position}{final \ time\  - \ initial \ time}\\\\V_{avg} = \frac{240km \ - \ 60km}{2hr\  - \ 1hr} \\\\V_{avg} = \frac{180 \ km}{1hr} \\\\V_{avg}= 180 \ km/hr

Therefore, the average velocity is 180 km/hr
