How are galaxies named?

Physics
1 answer:
choli [55]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Some galaxies are given descriptive names (e.g. "Andromeda", "Whirlpool") if they are particularly distinctive in location or appearance. But most galaxies are known from their designation in a catalogue. One of the earliest catalogues of objects in the sky was made by Charles Messier.

If a bicyclist, with initial velocity of zero, steadily gained speed until reaching a final velocity of 26m/s, how far would she
svetlana [45]

Answer:

34.45m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion formula v² = u²+2as to get the distance travelled

v is the final velocity = 26m/s

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

a is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

S is the distance travelled

Substituting the given values into the formula;

26² = 0²+2(9.81)s

676 = 0 + 19.62s

19.62s = 676

s = 676/19.62

s = 34.45m

Hence the distance she would travel during the race is 34.45m

A boy pushes on a wagon so that it accelerates at a rate of 0.50 m/s2. The wagon has a mass of 24 kg. What is the magnitude of t
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

12N

Explanation:

Force acting on any body is equal to mass of body multiplied by acceleration produced in the body.

Its formula is

F = M*a

where F is the force acting on body

M is the mass of the body

a is the acceleration produced in the body

Unit of force is Newton represented by N

1 N is force acting on body of mass 1 kg which produces acceleration of 1m/s^2.

_____________________________________

Given

a = 0.50 m/s^2

M = 24 kg

therefore

F = 24*0.5 = 12 N

Thus,  magnitude of the boy's pushing force is 12 N.

A small spinning asteroid is in a circular orbit around a star, much like the earth's motion around our sun. The asteroid has a
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Temperature will be 305 K  

Explanation:

We have given The asteroid has a surface area A=7.70m^2

Power absorbed P = 3800 watt

Boltzmann constant \sigma =5.67\times 10^{-8}Wm/K^4

According to Boltzmann rule power radiated is given by

P=\sigma AT^4

3800=5.67\times 10^{-8}\times 7.70\times T^4

T^4=87.0381\times 10^8

T=305K

So temperature will be 305 K

The water in the plumbing in a house is at a gauge pressure of 300,000 pa. What force does this cause on the top of the tank ins
liraira [26]

Answer:

60 000 N

Explanation:

1 pa = 1 N/m^2

you have 300 000 of these   = 300 000 N /m^2

    but only an area of .2 m^2

                    300 000 N / m^2  * .2 m^2 = 60 000 N

Define Acceleration.<br>Ty!​
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Acceleration is the name we give to any process where the velocity changes. Since velocity is a speed and a direction, there are only two ways for you to accelerate: change your speed or change your direction—or change both.
