Answer:

Distance is directly proportional to the velocity

Explanation:

In 1929, Edwin Hubble's wrote an article that talked about relationship between the distance and recession speed/velocity of galaxies which led to what is known as the Hubble Law. This law states that galaxies are moving away from the earth at velocities proportional to their distances.

Thus is written as;

v = H_o•d

Where;

v is velocity

d is distance

H_o is Hubble's constant rate of cosmic expansion.

He came to this conclusion by generating a graph known as Hubble's classic graph which was a graph of observed velocity vs distance for nearby galaxies.

Find the magnitude of this vector: 174 m N 188.4 m HELP FAST

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

195.168 m

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the vector you can use the Pythagorean Theorem since you have the height and base and the vector is really just the hypotenuse

Pythagorean Theorem:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Plug values in

$88.4^2+174^2=c^2$

Simplify

$7814.56+30276=c^2$

Add the two values

$38090.56=c^2$

Take the square root of both sides

$195.168\approx195.168$

28. Ken and Musa shared a cake such that Ken got twice the size

ratelena [41]

Answer:

$Musa = \frac{1}{3}$

$Ken = \frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

Given

$Ken = 2 * Musa$ --- Ken's share

Required

The fraction each got

Since they both shared a cake, we have:

$Ken + Musa = 1$

Substitute: $Ken = 2 * Musa$

$2 * Musa+ Musa = 1$

Factorize

$Musa(2+ 1)= 1$

$Musa(3)= 1$

Divide both sides by 3

$Musa = \frac{1}{3}$

Recall that: $Ken = 2 * Musa$

$Ken = 2 * \frac{1}{3}$

$Ken = \frac{2}{3}$

What would happen to the coil if the current passing through it was too large?

Alborosie

When a current flows through coil, magnetic field is produced around the coil which induces emf also known as back emf. When current in the coil is increased, more magnetic field is produced which in turn increases the induced emf.
