Galaxies are much further apart than stars. This is the reason why they are less likely to collide and the likelihood of galactic collision is much smaller than the likelihood of stellar collision. Example for galaxy collision is the collision of the Milky Way galaxy with Andromeda. It is estimated that the collision will be <span>in about 4.5 billion years. </span>
(a) Determine the circumference of the Earth through the equation,
C = 2πr
Substituting the known values,
C = 2π(1.50 x 10¹¹ m)
C = 9.424 x 10¹¹ m
Then, divide the answer by time which is given to a year which is equal to 31536000 s.
orbital speed = (9.424 x 10¹¹ m)/31536000 s
orbital speed = 29883.307 m/s
Hence, the orbital speed of the Earth is ~29883.307 m/s.
(b) The mass of the sun is ~1.9891 x 10³⁰ kg.
Answer:
c = 4,444.44
Explanation:
You have the following expression for the acceleration of the projectile:
(1)
s: distance to the ground of the projectile
To find the value of the constant c you use the following formula:
(2)
vo: initial velocity = 0 m/s
v: final speed = 200 m/s
Δs: distance traveled by the projectile = 3m - 1.5m = 1.5m
You replace the expression (1) into the expression (2):
You do the constant c in the last equation, then you replace the values of v, s and Δs:
Answer:
G.) The number atoms of that element in the molecule
Explanation:
F is incorrect because the coefficient represents the amount of one type of molecule, not the subscript
G is correct because subscripts represent how many atoms of that element are present in that single molecule
H is incorrect because energy is not represented in this simple type of equation
J is incorrect because it doesn't even make sense
Answer:
Velocity and speed both are continuously increasing.
Acceleration is constant.
Explanation:
Speed is defined as length of path covered by a body per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity that consist of magnitude only and not direction.
Velocity is defined as the displacement per unit times. Displacement is the shortest distance between the two points. It is a vector quantity and hence has a direction in the direction of displacement along with its own magnitude.
- Both velocity and speed have same unit of measure which is meter per second in S.I. During <em>free fall</em> in the absence of any air resistance the velocity and speed both will be having a vertical downward direction with continuously increasing magnitude. Tough we are not concerned about the direction when discussing about speed but here both are equal since the motion is linear.
Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of a body which is a vector quantity. For speed we are concerned about instantaneous acceleration since for a short period of time it may have a specific direction.
- During free fall the acceleration is of a body is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and constant when the height of fall is much lesser than the radius of the earth.
