Answer:

The value is  p = 0.7556 c

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed at which galaxy B moves away from galaxy A is  v =  0.577c

Here c is the speed of light with value  c = 3.0 *10^{8} \  m/s

     The speed at which galaxy C moves away from galaxy B is  u  =  0.731 c

Generally from the equation of  relative speed we have that  

     u   =  \frac{p - v}{ 1 - \frac{ p * v}{c^2} }

Here p is the velocity at which galaxy C recede from galaxy A so

     0.731c   =  \frac{p - 0.577c }{ 1 - \frac{ p * 0.577c}{c^2} }

=>   0.731c  [1 - \frac{ p * 0.577}{c}]  = p - 0.577c

=>   0.731c  -  0.4218 p = p - 0.577c

=>   0.731c  + 0.577c = p  + 0.4218 p

=>   1.308 c  = 1.731 p

=>    p = 0.7556 c

An electric circuit can have no current when a switch is
Finger [1]

Answer:

Open

Explanation:

A switch is a part of a circuit where a connection can be made or broken. By convention, when the switch is "open", the connection is broken and current cannot pass. When the switch is "closed", the connection is complete and current can pass.

Which of the following statements explains why a race car going around a curve is accelerating, even if the speed is constant? A
Tom [10]

OPTION C The car is accelerating because the direction of velocity is changing explains why a race car going around a curve is accelerating, even if the speed is constant

  • When a body is in uniform circular motion ( constant speed ), it will continuously cheanges its direction and so the body is accelerating
  • The rate at which an item changes its velocity is known as acceleration, a vector variable. If an object's velocity is changing, it is accelerating.
  • As a vector quantity, acceleration has a direction attached to it. The acceleration vector's direction is determined by two factors: if the thing is slowing down or speeding up the direction the thing is travelling in (+ or -)

  • The following general rule is used to calculate acceleration:

An object's acceleration will be in the opposite direction of its velocity if it is slowing down.

You may use this basic concept to determine if an object's acceleration is positive or negative, to the right or left, up or down, etc.
