Astronomers observe the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a not very dense, rather small galaxy near us. They notice that even those stars that formed recently have relatively few heavier elements (when compared to such recent stars in our Milky Way.) What is the likely explanation for this deficiency

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The reason it has few heavier elements is due to the fact that it's stars are widely spaced and this implies that it's stars have very low rate of formation and termination.

Explanation:

The Small Magellanic Cloud, is basically a very tiny galaxy located near the Milky Way. Although it's tiny, it's diameter is approximately 7,000 light-years while it also contains over hundred million stars which are widely spaced.

Now, the reason it has few heavier elements is due to the fact that it's stars are widely spaced and this implies that it's stars have very low rate of formation and termination.

A marble is rolling across a smooth 1.2 m tall table at a velocity of 3 m/s. How far from the edge of the table does it land? (SHOW ALL OF YOUR WORK)

Answers

Answer:

S = 1/2 g t^2      where t is the time to fall 1.2 m

t = (2 S / g)^1/2 = (2 * 1.2 / 9.8) = .495 s

Sy = Vy T = 3 m/sec  * .495  sec = 1.48 m     distance from edge of table

A car's bumper is designed to withstand a 5.04-km/h (1.4-m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of the car. The bumper cushions the shock by absorbing the force over a distance. Calculate the magnitude of the average force on a bumper that collapses 0.255 m while bringing a 890-kg car to rest from an initial speed of 1.4 m/s.

Answers

Answer:

3420.39 N

Explanation:

Applying,

Fd = 1/2(mv²-mu²)................. Equation 1

Where F = force on the bumber, d = distance, m = mass of the car, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity.

make F the subject of the equation

F = (mv²-mu²)/2d............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: m = 890 kg, v = 0 m/s (to rest), u = 1.4 m/s, d = 0.255 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

F = [(890×0²)-(890×1.4²)]/(2×0.255)

F = -1744.4/0.51

F = -3420.39 N

The negative sign denotes that the force in opposite direction to the motion of the car.

A 4.0-kg meatball is moving to the right with a speed of 6.0 m/s directly toward a 2.0 kg meatball
which is at rest. The two meatballs collide and stick together. What is their velocity immediately after
the collision?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for this is the one for the Law of Momentum Conservation which says that the momentum before the collision of the balls has to be the same after the collision because momentum cannot be created or destroyed. For us in particular:

[tex][(m_1v_1+m_2v_2)]_b=[(m_1+m_2)v_{both}]_a[/tex] and filling in:

[(4.0)(6.0) + (2.0)(0)] = [(4.0 + 2.0)v] and

24 + 0 = 6.0v and

24 = 6.0v so

v = 4.0 m/s to the right

find the x component of a vector of 105 km/h at an angle of 25 degrees.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

First I converted the km/h to m/s, which is the more common unit for velocity. In m/s, 105 km/h is 29.2. Thus, to find the x component of the vector:

29.2cos25 = 26 m/s

If you want it in km/h:

105cos25 = 95 km/h

An ammeter with a resistance of 5.0 ohm is connected in series with a 3.0V cell and a lamp rated at 300 mA, 3V. Calculate the current that the ammeter will measure.
plz solve this, I'll mark you as brainliest​

Answers

Answer:

I = 0.2 A

Explanation:

Lamp is rated at 300 mA

I_lamp = 300 mA = 0.3 A

Voltage is; V = 3V

Thus; Resistance is given by;

R = V/I

R = 3/0.3

R = 10 ohms

Now, since the ammeter of 5 ohms is connected in series with the lamp. Thus equivalent resistance;

R_eq = 10 + 5

R_eq = 15 ohms

Ammeter current will be;

I = V/R_eq

I = 3/15

I = 0.2 A

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

When the spring is compressed, it is compressed to its amplitude (whereas equilibrium is the spring's natural length with no mass attached to it and displacement is the spring's reaction to a mass hung on the end of it without any "extra" pushing or pulling on the mass). It is at the amplitude where the spring experineces max potential energy, which is choice 2, E = mph

A projectile is fired horizontally from a gun that is 58.0 m above flat ground, emerging from the gun with a speed of 170 m/s. (a) How long does the projectile remain in the air

Answers

Answer:

t = 3.44 s

Explanation:

We are given;

Fired from rest, and so; u = 0 m/s

Final speed; v = 170 m/s

Height above flat ground; y_o = 58 m

Height at starting point; y = 0 m

Thus, from Newton's equation of motion, we have;

y - y_o = ut - ½gt²

(since it's motion is against gravity)

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

0 - 58 = 0 - (½ × 9.8 × t²)

-58 = -4.9t²

t² = 58/4.9

t = √(58/4.9)

t = 3.44 s

A plane is flying a circular path at a speed of 55.0 m/ s, with a radius of 18.3 m. The centripetal force needed to maintain this motion is 3000 N. What is the plane's mass?

Answers

The plane has a centripetal acceleration a of

a = v ²/r

where v is the plane's tangential speed and r is the radius of the circle. By Newton's second law,

F = mv ²/r

Solve for the mass m :

m = Fr/v ² = (3000 N) (18.3 m) / (55.0 m/s)² ≈ 18.1 kg

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of a simple harmonic movement is constant in time, let's look for the energy at one end of the movement, where the velocity of the body is zero.

        Em = U = ½ k x²

at the end x = A

        Em = ½ k A²

Let's build a table for the energy and as a function of the amplitudes of the movement

FP-400Y-5DC

The BERMAD model 400Y-5DC is an elastomeric, hydraulic line pressure operated deluge valve, designed specifically for advanced fire protection systems and the latest industry standards. The 400Y-5DC is activated by a hydraulically operated relay valve, through which opening and closing of the valve can be controlled either with a remote hydraulic command or with a wet pilot line with closed fusible plugs. An integral pressure reducing pilot valve ensures a precise, stable, pre-set downstream water pressure. The optional valve position indicator can include a limit switch suitable for Fire & Gas monitoring systems. The 400Y-5DC is ideal for systems that combine a remote wet pilot line with a high pressure water supply.

An object 2cm high is placed 3cm in front of a concave lens of focal length 2cm, find the magnification?​

Answers

Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

A concave lens is a diverging lens, so it will always have a negative focal length. Image distance is always negative for a concave lens because it forms virtual images.

From the lens formula;

1/f = 1/u+ 1/v

- 1/2 = 1/3 - 1/v

1/v = 1/3 + 1/2

v= 6/5

v= 1.2 cm

Magnification = image distance/object distance

Magnification = 1.2cm/3cm

Magnification = 0.4

Everything beyond it, is traveling faster, relative to us, than the speed of light. So everything that passes the horizon is irretrievably out of reach forever and we will never be able to interact with it again."

While traveling north on an expressway, a car traveling 60 mph (miles per hour) slows down to 30 mph in 12 minutes due to traffic conditions

Answers

Answer:

acceleration = - 150 m/s^2

distance = 9 miles.

Explanation:

initial speed, u = 60 mph

time, t = 12minutes = 0.2 hour

final speed, v = 30 mph

Let the acceleration is a and the distance is s.

By the first equation of motion

v = u + at

30 = 60 + a x 0.2

a = - 150 m/s^2

Let the distance is s.

Use third equation of motion is

[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2 a s \\\\30^2 = 60^2 + 2 \times 150\times s\\\\s = 9 miles[/tex]
