if you put something like apiece of cardboard between a magnet and a iron nail, the magnet still holds the nail. how?

Magnetic fields can go through some materials (like cardboard). Electric fields can also do that. Electromagnetic waves can do that. It’s not at all unusual because magnetic fields are not made up of particles so they can go through materials.

If the distance of a galaxy is 2,000 Mpc, how many years back into the past are we looking when we observe this galaxy

ruslelena [56]

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.

Engineers are trying to improve a race car. Their goal is to increase the acceleration of the car using the same engine. Which c

Andru [333]

To increase the acceleration of the car using the same engine, the mass of the car must be decreased.

<h3>What is Newton's first law of motion</h3>

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest or uniform motion in a straight line will continue in that path unless acted upon by an external force.

The first law is also called the law of inertia because it depends on the mass of the object. The greater the mass, the greater the inertia and more reluctant the object will be to move.

Thus, to increase the acceleration of the car using the same engine, the mass of the car must be decreased.

You are attempting to row across a stream in your rowboat. Your paddling speed relative to still water is 3.0 m/s (i.e., if you

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Please check the attached file for the diagram

Explanation:

The velocity of the of the rowboat $V_{tot}$ through the river is the resultant velocity. It is obtained taking a vector sum of the velocity in still water and the velocity of the river.

There are several ways to take this vector sum, but the question makes it simple for us to use Pythagoras's theorem because the East and North directions are perpendicular to each other.

Hence;

$V_{tot}^2=V_{still}^2+V_{w}^2\\V_{tot}^2=3^2+4^2$

$V_{tot}=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}\\ V_{tot}=\sqrt{25}=5m/s$
