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

A man stands on a platform that is rotating (without friction) with an angular speed of 1.0 rev/s; his arms are outstretched and
Airida [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

N_1=1 rev/s

angular velocity \omega =2\pi N_1=6.284 rad/s

Combined moment of inertia of stool,student and bricks =6\ kg.m^2

Now student pull off his hands so as to increase its speed to suppose N_2 rev/s

\omega _2=2\pi N_2  

After Pulling off hands so final moment of inertia is

I_2=2\ kg-m^2

Conserving angular momentum  as no external torque is applied

I_1\omega _1=I_2\omega _2

6\times 6.284=2\times \omega _2

\omega _2=18.85\ rad/s

N_2=3 rev/s

Which has greater kinetic energy, a car traveling at 40 mph or a half-as-massive car traveling at 80 mph?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The 80 mph car

Because the formula says 1/2 mass but for the velocity it is squared

A horizontal 2.00\ m2.00 m long, 5.00\ kg5.00 kg uniform beam that lies along the east-west direction is acted on by two forces.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: 240\ rad/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Length of beam l=2\ m

mass of beam m=5\ kg

Two forces of equal intensity acted in the opposite direction, therefore, they create a torque of magnitude

\tau =F\times l=200\times 2=400\ N.m

Also, the beam starts rotating about its center

So, the moment of inertia of the beam is

I=\dfrac{ml^2}{12}=\dfrac{5\times 2^2}{12}\\\\I=\dfrac{5}{3}\ kg.m^2

Torque is the product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration

\Rightarrow \tau=I\alpha\\\\\Rightarrow 400=\dfrac{5}{3}\times \alpha\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha =240\ rad/s^2
