The age of the galaxy when we look back is 13.97 billion years.

The given parameters:

  • <em>distance of the galaxy, x = 2,000 Mpc</em>

According Hubble's law the age of the universe is calculated as follows;

v = H₀x

where;

H₀ = 70 km/s/Mpc

T = \frac{x}{V} \\\\T = \frac{x}{xH_0} \\\\T = \frac{1}{H_0} \\\\T = \frac{1}{70 \ km/s/Mpc} \\\\T = \frac{1 \ sec}{70 \times 3.24 \times 10^{-20} } \\\\T = 4.41 \times 10^{17} \ sec\\\\T = \frac{4.41 \times 10^{17} \ sec\  \times \ years}{3600 \ s \ \times\  24\ h\  \times \ 365.25 \ days} \\\\T = 1.397  \times 10^{10} \ years\\\\T = 13.97 \ billion \ years

Thus, the age of the galaxy when we look back is 13.97 billion years.

Answer:

9) This is a case of deceleration

10)-0.8 ms-2

b) acceleration is the change in velocity with time

11)

a) 100 ms-1

b) 100 seconds

12) 10ms-1

13) more information is needed to answer the question

14) - 0.4 ms^-2

15) 0.8 ms^-2

Explanation:

The deceleration is;

v-u/t

v= final velocity

u= initial velocity

t= time taken

20-60/50 =- 40/50= -0.8 ms-2

11)

Since it starts from rest, u=0 hence

v= u + at

v= 10 ×10

v= 100 ms-1

b)

v= u + at but u=0

1000 = 10 t

t= 1000/10

t= 100 seconds

12) since the sprinter must have started from rest, u= 0

v= u + at

v= 5 × 2

v= 10ms-1

14)

v- u/t

10 - 20/ 25

10/25

=- 0.4 ms^-2

15)

a=v-u/t

From rest, u=0

8 - 0/10

a= 8/10

a= 0.8 ms^-2

A student wants to determine the impulse delivered to the lab cart when it runs into the wall. The student measures the mass of
forsale [732]
Impulse = Force * times and also Impulse = change in momentum.

Given that the mass does not change, change if momentum = mass * (final velocity -  initial velocity)

Given that you know mass and initial velocity (which is the velicity before the cart hits the wall) you need the final velocity (which is the velocity after the cart hits the wall).

Answer: the velocity of the cart after it hits the wall.
