Given the Hubble's constant, the approximate age of the universe is 5.88 × 10⁹ Years.

Given the data in the question;

Hubble's constant; H_0 = 51km/s/Mly

Age of the universe; t = \ ?

We know that, the reciprocal of the Hubble's constant ( H_0 ) gives an estimate of the age of the universe ( t ). It is expressed as:

Age\ of\ Universe; t = \frac{1}{H_0}

Now,

Hubble's constant; H_0 = 51km/s/Mly

We know that;

1\ light\ years = 9.46*10^{15}m

so

1\ Million\ light\ years = [9.46 * 10^{15}m] * 10^6 = 9.46 * 10^{21}m

Therefore;

H_0 = 51\frac{km}{\frac{s}{Mly} } = 51000\frac{m}{s\ *\ Mly}  \\\\H_0 = 51000\frac{m}{s\ *\ (9.46*10^{21}m)} \\\\H_0 =  5.39 *10^{-18}s^{-1}\\

Now, we input this Hubble's constant value into our equation;

Age\ of\ Universe; t = \frac{1}{H_0}\\\\t = \frac{1}{ 5.39 *10^{-18}s^{-1}} \\\\t = 1.855 * 10^{17}s\\\\We\ convert\ to\ years\\\\t =  \frac{ 1.855 * 10^{17}}{60*60*24*365}yrs \\\\t = \frac{ 1.855 * 10^{17}}{31536000}yrs\\\\t = 5.88 *10^9 years

Therefore, given the Hubble's constant, the approximate age of the universe is 5.88 × 10⁹ Years.

Explanation
During the day when temperatures are higher, the snow melts and water enters the cracks in the rock. When the temperature drops below 0°C the water in the crack freezes and expands by about 9 per cent. This makes the crack larger.

elena55 [62]

Answer:

KE₂ = 6000 J

Explanation:

Given that

Potential energy at top U₁= 7000 J

Potential energy at bottom U₂= 1000 J

The kinetic energy at top ,KE₁= 0 J

Lets take kinetic energy at bottom level =  KE₂

Now from energy conservation

U₁+ KE₁= U₂+ KE₂

Now by putting the values

U₁+ KE₁= U₂+ KE₂

7000+ 0 = 1000+ KE₂

KE₂ = 7000 - 1000 J

KE₂ = 6000 J

Therefore the kinetic energy at bottom is 6000 J.

stepan [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Analytical people are less responsive to others. They hence tend to focus more on work than people and are less interested in leading, being happier to work by themselves. They may be prudent and systematic, making them good at analytic work.

Some character traits of Analytical people

Focuses on work and working more than people

Likes to be correct and will take time to ensure this

Thoughtful, careful fact-oriented and precise

Good at problem-solving

Likes organization and structure

Avoids working in a group, preferring to work alone

Can be over-critical and unresponsive

Cautious in decision-making

When stressed may withdraw or become headstrong

1. What happens when like charges come together?*
12345 [234]

Answer:

When like charges come together, they repel each other. For instance, when the north and south poles of a magnet come together, they push each other apart. The like poles in the magnet repel each other and unlike poles attract each other much. The same reaction occurs in like and unlike charges. Also, the repulsion acts along the line between the two charges.
