What causes the spiral structural in milky way?

Mrac [35]

The spiral structure of the milky way can be explained by long lived quasi-static density waves, according to the lin-shu hypothesis. Curiously, the waves of higher density gas and stars (seen as spiral arms) appear to remain static as stars move around the galaxy. This explained by assuming that the gravitational disturbances cause by the 'clumping' material in the arms does not affect the gravitational field of the galaxy as whole and is therefore negligible.

Why is Energy not created nor destroyed? (Need the answer ASAP!!)

eduard

Since both heat and work can be measured and quantified, this is the same as saying that any change in the energy of a system must result in a corresponding change in the energy of the surroundings outside the system. In other words, energy cannot be created or destroyed.

The tuning fork has a frequency of 426.7 is found to cause resonance in a closed column of air measuring 0.186 (the diameter of

lidiya [134]

Answer:

The velocity of the tuning fork sound is 317.4648 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The frequency of the fork, f = 426.7 Hz

The length of the closed air column, L = 0.186 m

The diameter of the tube, d = 0.15 m

At the fundamental frequency in a closed tube, we have;

λ = 4·L

Where;

λ = The wavelength of the wave

L = The length of the tube

From the equation for the velocity of a wave, we have;

v = f·λ

Where;

v = The velocity of the (sound) wave

f = The frequency of the wave = 426.7 Hz

λ = 4·L = 4 × 0.186 m = 0.744 m

∴ v = 426.7 Hz × 0.744 m = 317.4648 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the sound produced by the tuning fork, v = 317.4648 m/s

There is a 50 g sample of Ra-229. It has a half-life of 4 minutes.

Sloan [31]

Via half-life equation we have:

$A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h} }$

Where the initial amount is 50 grams, half-life is 4 minutes, and time elapsed is 12 minutes. By plugging those values in we get:

$A_{final}=50(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{12}{4}=50(\frac{1}{2})^{3}=50(\frac{1}{8})=6.25g$

There is 6.25 grams left of Ra-229 after 12 minutes.
