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

What is the direction and speed of an object?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity by definition means speed and direction of an object. This means it has a value and a positive or minus sign indicating direction. Speed is the absolute value of velocity because there is no direction correlated with speed. If you add a direction, it is then called velocity

Discuss the effects of breaking a food chain.
Tom [10]

Explanation:

Food chain is linear sequence of the organisms through which the nutrients and the energy pass as one organism eats the another.

<u>If one species in the food chain ceases to exist, the other members in rest of chain could cease to exist too or may increase in population which can affect other food chains. (Breaking of food chain).</u>

This is because the animals in the food chain are dependent on the nutrient present in the another.

For example in the food chain,

Grass ----  Deer ------ Lion

If all deer extinct, the lion will die as they will have nothing to feed on and the population of grass increases.

A crate is placed on an adjustable, incline board. the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the board is 0.29.
sasho [114]

Let the angle be Θ (theta)

Let the mass of the crate be m.

a) When the crate just begins to slip. At that moment the net force will be equal to zero and the static friction will be at the maximum vale.

Normal force (N) = mg CosΘ

μ (coefficient of static friction) = 0.29

Static friction = μN = μmg CosΘ

Now, along the ramp, the equation of net force will be:

mg SinΘ - μmg CosΘ = 0

mg SinΘ = μmg CosΘ

tan Θ = μ

tan Θ = 0.29

Θ = 16.17°

b) Let the acceleration be a.

Coefficient of kinetic friction = μ = 0.26

Now, the equation of net force will be:

mg sinΘ - μ mg CosΘ = ma

a = g SinΘ - μg CosΘ

Plugging the values

a = 9.8 × 0.278 - 0.26 × 9.8 × 0.96

a = 2.7244 - 2.44608

a = 0.278 m/s^2

Hence, the acceleration is 0.278 m/s^2
