If a galaxy has an apparent radial velocity of 2000 km/s and the Hubble constant is 70 km/s/Mpc, how far away is the galaxy

Answer:

28.57 Mpc

Explanation:

This question is going to be solved by applying Hubble's Law.

This Hubble's Law is actually an observation in physical cosmology. This observation makes it clear that galaxies are moving away from the Earth, and are doing so at speeds proportional to their distance. This essentially means that the farther they are from the Earth, the faster they are moving away from Earth.

It is represented by this formula

v = H(0)D, where

v = speed

H(0) = Constant of proportionality, or otherwise, Hubble's constant.

D = Distance to a galaxy

Applying the given parameters to the formula, we have

v = H(0).D

D = v / H(0)

D = 2000 / 70

D = 28.57 Mpc

slader A baseball player slides to a stop on level ground. Using energy consideration, calculate the distance the 65 kg baseball

stich3 [128]

Answer:

2.6 m

Explanation:

From work energy theorem we deduce that

$0.5mv^{2}=fd$

The kinetic energy equals to the work dine against friction energy.

Where m represent mass, v is the velocity, f is the frictional force and d is unknown distance that the player slides.

Making d the subject of the formula then $d=\frac {mv^{2}}{2f}$

Then by substituting 450N for f, 65 kg for m and 6 m/s for v we obtain

$d=\frac {65*6^{2}}{2*450}=2.6m$

An ideal gas, initially at a pressure of 11.2 atm and a temperature of 299 K, is allowed to expand adiabatically until its volum

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The pressure is $P_2 = 4.25 \ a.t.m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial pressure is $P_1 = 11.2\ a.t.m$

The temperature is $T_1 = 299 \ K$

Let the first volume be $V_1$ Then the final volume will be $2 V_1$

Generally for a diatomic gas

$P_1 V_1 ^r = P_2 V_2 ^r$

Here r is the radius of the molecules which is mathematically represented as

$r = \frac{C_p}{C_v}$

Where $C_p \ and\ C_v$ are the molar specific heat of a gas at constant pressure and the molar specific heat of a gas at constant volume with values

$C_p=7 \ and\ C_v=5$

=> $r = \frac{7}{5}$

=> $11.2*( V_1 ^{\frac{7}{5} } ) = P_2 * (2 V_1 ^{\frac{7}{5} } )$

=> $P_2 = [\frac{1}{2} ]^{\frac{7}{5} } * 11.2$

=> $P_2 = 4.25 \ a.t.m$
