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.

An object of mass 300 g, moving with an initial velocity of 5.00i-3.20j m/s, collides with an sticks to an object of mass 400 g,
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Velocity is 2.17 m/s at an angle of 9.03° above X-axis.

Explanation:

Mass of object 1 , m₁ = 300 g = 0.3 kg

Mass of object 2 , m₂ = 400 g = 0.4 kg

Initial velocity of object 1 , v₁ = 5.00i-3.20j m/s

Initial velocity of object 2 , v₂ = 3.00j m/s

Mass of composite = 0.7 kg

We need to find final velocity of composite.

Here momentum is conserved.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Initial momentum = 0.3 x (5.00i-3.20j) + 0.4 x 3.00j = 1.5 i + 0.24 j kgm/s

Final momentum = 0.7 x v = 0.7v kgm/s

Comparing

1.5 i + 0.24 j = 0.7v

v = 2.14 i + 0.34 j

Magnitude of velocity      

       v=\sqrt{2.14^2+0.34^2}=2.17m/s

Direction,  

       \theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{0.34}{2.14}\right )=9.03^0

Velocity is 2.17 m/s at an angle of 9.03° above X-axis.
