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.

According to the concept of length contraction, what happens to the length of an object as it approaches the speed of light and
lord [1]
When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.

A 5.0 cm object is 12.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 24.0 cm. The distance between the image and the mirr
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The answer is 24cm

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the curved mirrors, a concave type

Given data

Object height h= 5cm

Object distance = 12cm

Focal length f=24cm

Let the image distance be v=?

Applying the formula we have

1/v +1/u= 1/f

Substituting our given data

1/v+1/12=1/24

1/v=1/24-1/12

1/v=1-2/24

1/v=-1/24

v= - 24cm

This implies that the image is on the same side as the object and it is real
