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.

Two resistors, one with 7.00 Ω of resistance and the other with 11.00 Ω of resistance, are connected in series to a 9.00 V batte

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

4.5 W

Explanation:

Applying,

P = V²/(R₁+R₂).................. Equation 1

Where P = Power, V = Voltage, R₁ and R₂ = values of the two resistor.

From the question,

Given: V = 9.00 V, R₁ = 7.00 Ω, R₂ = 11.00 Ω

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = 9²/(7+11)

P = 81/(18)

P = 4.5 Watt.

Hence the power dessipated by the two resistors is 4.5 watt

A professional baseball player can throw the ball around 45 m/s if the distance between the pitcher and the batter is 18.39 m. H

svetlana [45]

Answer:

The time taken for the ball to get to the batter is 0.41 s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the baseball, u = 45 m/s

horizontal distance between the pitcher and the batter, X = 18.39 m

The horizontal distance or range of a projectile is given as;

X = ut

where;

t is the time of flight

u is the initial velocity

t = X / u

t = 18.39 / 45

t = 0.41 s

Therefore, the time taken for the ball to get to the batter is 0.41 s.

A solid conducting sphere of radius 2.00 cm has a charge of 6.88 μC. A conducting spherical shell of inner radius 4.00 cm and ou

zepelin [54]

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius R= 2.00

Charge = 6.88 μC

Inner radius = 4.00 cm

Outer radius = 5.00 cm

Charge = -2.96 μC

We need to calculate the electric field

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

(a). For, r = 1.00 cm

Here, r<R

So, E = 0

The electric field does not exist inside the sphere.

(b). For, r = 3.00 cm

Here, r >R

The electric field is

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times6.88\times10^{-6}}{(3.00\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E=6.88\times10^{7}\ N/C$

The electric field outside the solid conducting sphere and the direction is towards sphere.

(c). For, r = 4.50 cm

Here, r lies between R₁ and R₂.

So, E = 0

The electric field does not exist inside the conducting material

(d). For, r = 7.00 cm

The electric field is

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times(-2.96\times10^{-6})}{(7.00\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E=5.43\times10^{6}\ N/C$

The electric field outside the solid conducting sphere and direction is away of solid sphere.

Hence, This is the required solution.
