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

The cheetah's speed is 100x and The gazelle's speed is 80x + 70. Set the two equations equal to each other: 100x = 80x +70 (then subtract 80x from both sides). 20x = 70 (then divide by 20). X =3.5. The cheetah catches the gazelle after 3.5

storchak [24]

The first thing you should know in this case is the following definition:
PV = nRT
Then, as the temperature is constant, then:
PV = k
Then, we have two states:
P1V1 = k
P2V2 = k
We can then equalize both equations:
P1V1 = P2V2
Substituting the values:
(1.25) * (101) = (2.25) * (P2)
Clearing P2:
P2 = ((1.25) * (101)) /(2.25)=56.11Kpa
answer:
the new pressure inside the jar is 56.11Kpa

Answer:

v₂=- 34 .85 m/s

v₁=0.14 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=70 kg ,u₁=0 m/s

m₂=0.15 kg ,u₂=35 m/s

Given that collision is elastic .We know that for elastic collision

Lets take their final speed is v₁ and v₂

From momentum conservation

m₁u₁+m₂u₂=m₁v₁+m₂v₂

70 x 0+ 0.15 x 35 = 70 x v₁ + 0.15 x v₂

70 x v₁ + 0.15 x v₂=5.25 --------1

v₂-v₁=u₁-u₂ ( e= 1)

v₂-v₁ = -35 --------2

By solving above equations

v₂=- 34 .85 m/s

v₁=0.14 m/s
