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

Answer:

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics. It was formulated by Archimedes of Syracuse.

Answer:

I would use the model of Ammonia because it helps you visualize the structure of NH3 better than the description. It would be easier to understand the structure of it if you can see it, rather than reading its description.

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance covered in total given time

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$
