Which direction are the galaxies moving

Physics
1 answer:
Vlada [557]3 years ago
7 0

Scientists believe that on large scales the Universe is isotropic (the same in all directions). Thus, from our perspective, half of all spiral galaxies should spin clockwise, and half counter-clockwise.

A dwarf planet discovered out beyond the orbit of Pluto is known to have an orbital period of 619.36 years. What is its average
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer: 72.66 AU=1.089(10)^{10} km

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that according to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion “The square of the orbital period T of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis a of its orbit”:

T^{2}\propto a^{3} (1)  

Now, if T is measured in years (Earth years), and a is measured in astronomical units (equivalent to the distance between the Sun and the Earth: 1AU=1.5(10)^{8}km), equation (1) becomes:  

T^{2}=a^{3} (2)  

So, knowing T=619.36 years and isolating a from (2) we have:  

a=\sqrt[3]{T^{2}} (3)  

a=\sqrt[3]{(619.36 years)^{2}} (4)  

Finally:

a=72.66 AU T his is the distance between the dwarf planet and the Sun in astronomical units

Converting this to kilometers, we have:

a=72.66 AU \frac{1.5(10)^{8}km}{1 AU}=1.089(10)^{10} km

katrin [286]

Complete Question

Suppose you hit a steel nail with a 0.500-kg hammer, initially moving at 15.0 m/s and brought to rest in 2.80 mm. How much is the nail compressed if it is 2.50 mm in diameter and 6.00-cm long.What Average force is excreted on the Nail

Answer:

F=2*10^{4}N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=0.500kg

Initial Velocity V=15.0m/s

Distance x=2.80mm=>0.00280m

Diameter d=2.50mm=>0.00250m

Length l=6.00cm=>0.6m

Generally the equation for Force is mathematically given by

 F=\frac{mv^2}{2d}

 F=\frac{0.500*15^2}{2.80*10^{-3}}

 F=2*10^{4}N

The specific heat of fat is roughly 1,700 J/(kgoC) whereas that for water is around 4200 J/(kgoC). A 0.63 kg solution of lipids
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

the mass of the lipid content, to the nearest hundredth of a kg, in this solution =0.46 kg

Explanation:

Total heat content of the fat = heat content of water +heat content of the lipids

Let it be Q

the Q= (mcΔT)_lipids + (mcΔT)_water

total mass of fat  M= 0.63 Kg

Q= heat supplied = 100 W in 5 minutes

ΔT= 20°C

c_lipid= 1700J/(kgoC)

c_water= 4200J/(kgoC)

then,

100\times5\times60= m(1700)20+(0.63-m)(4200)20

solving the above equation we get

m= 0.46 kg

the mass of the lipid content, to the nearest hundredth of a kg, in this solution =0.46 kg
