On a cosmic calendar, in which the history of the universe is compressed into one year, how long is the average human life span?

netineya [11]2 years ago

Answer:

If one were to use 5 billion years as the age of the universe and 75 years as the average human life span then

T = 75 / 5 E9 = 1.5E-8

The number of seconds in a year is 3600 * 24 * 365 = 3.2E7

If t = N * T   seconds in a year * fraction of human life span

t = 1.5E-8 * 3.2E7 = .48

A human life span is about 1/2 second compared to the life of the universe if the universe were compressed to a single year

Hi everyone, I need help on the question: Why are humans the most dangerous creatures in the ocean
kozerog [31]

HUMAN ACTIVITIES ARE threatening the health of the world's oceans. More than 80 percent of marine pollution comes from land-based activities. From coral bleaching to sea level rise, entire marine ecosystems are rapidly changing.

Global warming is causing sea levels to rise, threatening coastal population centers. Many pesticides and nutrients used in agriculture end up in the coastal waters, resulting in oxygen depletion that kills marine plants and shellfish. Factories and industrial plants discharge sewage and other runoff into the oceans. Oil spills pollute the oceans, though U.S. water-sewage treatment plants discharge twice as much oil each year as tanker spills. Air pollution is responsible for almost one-third of the toxic contaminants and nutrients that enter coastal areas and oceans. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that 31.4 percent of fish stocks are either fished to capacity or over-fished.

Leto [7]

Answer:

a) counterclockwise

Explanation:

The Lenz's Law establish that the direction of the induced current is in an opposite direction, in comparison with the change od the magnetic flux.

\epsilon=-\frac{d\Phi_{B}}{dt}

Specifically, if the flux decreases the induced current is in a counterclockwise direction, if increases, the direction is in a clockwise direction.

An arrow is shot at an angle 38 ◦ with the horizontal. It has a velocity of 46 m/s. How high will the arrow go?
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

40·919 m

Explanation:

Initial velocity of the arrow = 46 m/s

Angle at which it is thrown from horizontal = 38°

<h3>At the maximum height, the vertical component of velocity will be 0</h3>

Initial velocity in vertical direction = 46 × sin(38) = 28·32 m/s

From the formula

<h3>v² - u² = 2 × a × s</h3>

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

Considering the formula in vertical direction and taking upward direction as positive

v = 0

u = 28·32 m/s

a = - g = - 9·8 m/s²

Let s be the maximum height

- 28·32² = - 2 × 9.8 × s

⇒ s = 40·919 m

∴ The arrow will go 40·919 m high

What type of galaxy is M82 based on its appearance in the visible-light view?
SSSSS [86.1K]
<h2>Answer: irregular</h2>

According to Hubble  galaxies are classified into elliptical, spiral and irregular.

 

It should be noted this classification is based only on the visual appearance of the galaxy, and does not take into account other aspects, such as the rate of star formation or the activity of the galactic nucleus.  

The classification is as follows:  

1. Elliptical galaxies: Their main characteristic is that the concentration of stars decreases from the nucleus, which is small and very bright, towards its edges. In addition, they contain a large population of old stars, usually little gas and dust, and some newly formed stars.  

2. Spiral galaxies: They have the shape of flattened disks containing some old stars and also a large population of young stars, enough gas and dust, and molecular clouds that are the birthplace of the stars.  

3. Irregular Galaxies:  Galaxies that do not have well-defined structure and symmetry.  

In this context, galaxy M82 does not match with the first two types of galaxies, because it has not a defined shape.

Therefore, M82 is an  irregular galaxy.
