E. Galaxy Cluster

Explanation:

A galaxy cluster, or cluster of galaxies, is a structure that consists of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of galaxies that are bound together by mutual gravity.

A megaparsec is a million parsecs and there are about 3.3 light years in a mega-parsec. Parsec is rather a natural distance unit for astronomers. The standard abbreviation of a mega-parsec is Mpc.

A parsec is approximately 3.09 x 1016 meters, a megaparsec is about 3.09 x 1022 meters.

Hence, 8 megaparsecs is gigantic size and that can be only of a galaxy cluster consisting of hundreds and thousands of galaxies bounded together.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer: Thermal comductivity (K) is 3.964x 10 ^-3 W/m.k

Explanation:

Thermal comductivity K = QL/A∆T

Q= Amount of heat transferred through the material in watts = 75W

L= Distance between two isothermal planes = 0.740mm

A= Area of the surface in square metres = 2m^2

∆T= Temperature change = (37-30) °C.

Solving this : K =( 75 x 0.740 x 10^-3)/ 2 x (37-30)

K = 3.964x 10 ^-3 W/m.k

 A bartender slides a beer mug at 1.50 m/s toward a customer at the end of a frictionless bar that is 1.20 m tall. The customer

Andrew [12]

Answer:

a) the mug hits the floor 0.7425m away from the end of the bar. b) |V|=5.08m/s θ= -72.82°

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must first start by doing a drawing of the situation. (see attached picture).

From the drawing we can see that we are dealing with a two dimensions movement problem. So in order to find out how far away from the bar the mug will fall, we need to start by finding how long it will take the mug to be in the air, so we analyze the vertical movement of the mug.

In order to find the time we need to use the following formula, which contains the data we know:

$y_{f}=y_{0}+v_{y0}t+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

we know that $y_{f}=0$ and that $v_{y0}=0$ as well, so the formula is simplified to:

$0=y_{0}+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

we can now solve this for t, so we get:

$-y_{0}=\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

$-2y_{0}=at^{2}$

$\frac{-2y_{0}}{a}=t^{2}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{0}}{a}}$

we know that $y_{0}=1.20m$ and that $a=g=-9.8m/s^{2}$

the acceleration of gravity is negative because the mug is moving downwards. So we substitute them into the given formula:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2(1.20m)}{(-9.8m/s^{2})}}$

which yields:

t=0.495s

we can now use this to find the horizontal distance the mug travels. We know that:

$V_{x}=\frac{x}{t}$

so we can solve this for x, so we get:

$x=V_{x}t$

and we can now substitute the values we know:

x=(1.5m/s)(0.495s)

which yields:

x=0.7425m

b) Now that we know the time it takes the mug to hit the floor, we can use it to find the final velocity in the y-direction by using the following formula:

$a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{0}}{t}$

we know the initial velocity in the vertical direction is zero, so we can simplify the formula:

$a=\frac{v_{f}}{t}$

so we can solve this for the final velocity:

$V_{yf}=at$

in this case the acceleration is the same as the acceleration of gravity (which is negative) so we can substitute that and the time we found on the previous part to get:

$V_{yf}=(-9.8m/s^{2})(0.495s)$

which yields:

$V_{yf}=-4.851m/s$

so now we know the components of the final velocity, which are:

$V_{xf}=1.5m/s$ and $V_{yf]=-4.851m/s$

so now we can find the speed by determining the magnitude of the vector, like this:

$|V|=\sqrt{V_{x}^{2}+V_{y}^{2}}$

so we get:

$|V|=\sqrt{(1.5m/s)^{2}+(-4.851m/s)^{2}$

which yields:

|V|=5.08m/s

now, to find the direction of the impact, we can use the following equation:

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{V_{y}}{V_{x}})$

so we get:

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{-4.851m/s}{(1.5m/s)})$

which yields:

$\theta = -72.82^{o}$

In the Daytona 500 auto race, a Ford Thunderbird and a Mercedes Benz are moving side by side down a straightaway at 71.0 m/s. Th

qaws [65]

Answer:

The distance between both cars is 990 m

Explanation:

The equations for the position and the velocity of an object moving in a straight line are as follows:

x = x0 + v0 * t + 1/2 * a * t²

v = v0 + a * t

where:

x = position of the car at time "t"

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial speed

t = time

a = acceleration

v = velocity

First let´s find how much time it takes the driver to come to stop (v = 0). We will consider the origin of the reference system as the point at which the driver realizes she must stop. Then x0 = 0

With the equation of velocity, we can obtain the acceleration and replace it in the equation of position, knowing that the position will be 250 m at that time.

v = v0 + a*t

v-v0 / t = a

0 m/s - 71.0 m/s / t =a

-71.0 m/s / t = a

Replacing in the equation for position:

x = v0* t +1/2 * a * t²

250 m = 71.0 m/s * t + 1/2 *(-71.0 m/s / t) * t²

250 m = 71.0 m/s * t - 1/2 * 71.0 m/s * t

250m = 1/2 * 71.0m/s *t

t = 2 * 250 m / 71.0 m/s = 7.04 s

It takes the driver 7.04 s to stop.

Then, we can calculate how much time it took the driver to reach her previous speed. The procedure is the same as before:

v = v0 + a*t

v-v0 / t = a now v0 = 0 and v = 71.0 m/s

(71.0 m/s - 0 m/s) / t = a

71.0 m/s / t =a

Replacing in the position equation:

x = v0* t +1/2 * a * t²

390 m = 0 m/s * t + 1/2 * 71.0 m/s / t * t² (In this case, the initial position is in the pit, then x0 = 0 because it took 390 m from the pit to reach the initial speed).

390m * 2 / 71.0 m/s = t

t = 11.0 s

In total, it took the driver 11.0s + 5.00 s + 7.04 s = 23.0 s to stop and to reach the initial speed again.

In that time, the Mercedes traveled the following distance:

x = v * t = 71.0 m/s * 23.0 s = 1.63 x 10³ m

The Thunderbird traveled in that time 390 m + 250 m = 640 m.

The distance between the two will be then:

distance between both cars = 1.63 x 10³ m - 640 m = 990 m.
