If a galaxy has an apparent velocity of 2300 km/s, what is its distance if the Hubble constant is assumed to be 70 km/s/Mpc

The distance of the galaxy is 32.86 Mpc.

Using the hubble law, v = H₀D where v = apparent velocity of galaxy = 2300 km/s, H = hubble constant = 70 km/s/Mpc and D = distance of galaxy.

Since we require the distance of the galaxy, we make D subject of the formula in the equation. So, we have

D = v/H₀

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

D = 2300 km/s ÷ 70 km/s/Mpc

D = 32.86 Mpc

So, the distance of the galaxy is 32.86 Mpc

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at
Maru [420]
Well you of course have different kinetic energies with the two speeds.
Kinetic energy = (1/2)*mass*velocity^2
The vehicle's mass is the same in both cases, so we can ignore that as well as 1/2 since it's a constant.
So we have (30)^2 vs (60^2)
which is 900 vs 3600
So having 60 mph compared to 30 mph is 4 times the kinetic energy.

49. A block is pushed across a horizontal surface with a
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

(a) 37.5 kg

(b) 4

Explanation:

Force, F = 150 N

kinetic friction coefficient = 0.15

(a) acceleration, a = 2.53 m/s^2

According to the newton's second law

Net force = mass x acceleration

F - friction force = m a

150 - 0.15 x m g = m a

150 = m (2.53 + 0.15 x 9.8)

m = 37.5 kg

(b) As the block moves with the constant speed so the applied force becomes the friction force.

F = \mu m g \\\\150 = \mu\times 37.5\\\\\mu = 4

What is the definition of Cubit
disa [49]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Cubit is a unit of length based on the length of the forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger and usually equal to about 18 inches (46 centimeters).

It is an ancient unit of length used in ancient Egypt and is also known as "ancient Egyptian royal cubit."

In an engine, a piston oscillates with simple harmonic motion so that its position varies according to the following expression,
eduard

(a) 4.06 cm

In a simple harmonic motion, the displacement is written as

x(t) = A cos (\omega t + \phi) (1)

where

A is the amplitude

\omega is the angular frequency

\phi is the phase

t is the time

The displacement of the piston in the problem is given by

x(t) = (5.00 cm) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5}) (2)

By putting t=0 in the formula, we find the position of the piston at t=0:

x(0) = (5.00 cm) cos (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=4.06 cm

(b) -14.69 cm/s

In a simple harmonic motion, the velocity is equal to the derivative of the displacement. Therefore:

v(t) = x'(t) = -\omega A sin (\omega t + \phi) (3)

Differentiating eq.(2), we find

v(t) = x'(t) = -(5 rad/s)(5.00 cm) sin (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})=-(25.0 cm/s) sin (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})

And substituting t=0, we find the velocity at time t=0:

v(0)=-(25.00 cm/s) sin (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=-14.69 cm/s

(c) -101.13 cm/s^2

In a simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is equal to the derivative of the velocity. Therefore:

a(t) = v'(t) = -\omega^2 A cos (\omega t + \phi)

Differentiating eq.(3), we find

a(t) = v'(t) = -(5 rad/s)(25.00 cm/s) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})=-(125.0 cm/s^2) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})

And substituting t=0, we find the acceleration at time t=0:

a(0)=-(125.00 cm/s) cos (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=-101.13 cm/s^2

(d) 5.00 cm, 1.26 s

By comparing eq.(1) and (2), we notice immediately that the amplitude is

A = 5.00 cm

For the period, we have to start from the relationship between angular frequency and period T:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}

Using \omega = 5.0 rad/s and solving for T, we find

T=\frac{2\pi}{5 rad/s}=1.26 s
