2. Galaxy X in the Virgo Cluster has a cosmological redshift in its spectrum of z = 0.003 indicating it is moving away from us a

t 900 km/s. Galaxy Y has z = 0.015 a) Using z = v/c and our math shortcut, how fast is Galaxy Y moving away from us? (You can review the method in Box 23-2.)

Answer:

Speed of Galaxy Y is 4500 km/s

Explanation:

As we know that the Galaxy X has redshift given as

z = \frac{v}{c}

0.003 = \frac{900 km/s}{c}

c = 3\times 10^5 km/s

now in similar way for galaxy Y we have

z = 0.015

so we will have

0.015 = \frac{v}{3 \times 10^5}

v = 4500 km/s

You start with spring that's already been stretched an unknown amount from equilibrium. After stretching it an additional 2.0 cm
maxonik [38]

Answer: 35*10^3 N/m

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we know that the potential energy for spring is given by:

Up=1/2*k*x^2 where k is the spring constant and x is the streching or compresion position from the equilibrium point for the spring.

We  also know that with additional streching of 2 cm of teh spring,  the potential energy is 18J. Then it applied another additional streching of 2 cm and the energy is 25J.

Then the difference of energy for both cases is 7 J so:

ΔUp= 1/2*k* (0.02)^2 then

k=2*7/(0.02)^2=35000 N/m

A car is traveling at 20 meters/second and is brought to rest by applying brakes over a period of 4 seconds. What is its average
frez [133]
 (u) = 20 m/s 
(v) = 0 m/s 
<span> (t) = 4 s 
</span>
<span>0 = 20 + a(4) 

</span><span>4 x a = -20 
</span>
so, the answer is <span>-5 m/s^2. or -5 meter per second</span>

A 4.00-kg box sits atop a 10.0-kg box on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the two boxes and betwe
natta225 [31]
First, we have to calculate the normal forces on different surfaces.The normal force on the 4.00 kg, N1 = (4)(9.8) = 39.2 N. The normal force on the 10.0 kg, N2 = (14)(9.8) = 137.2 N. Looking at the 10.0 kg block, the static forces that counteract the pulling force equals the sum of the friction from the two surfaces. Fc = N1 * 0.80 + N2 * 0.80 = 141.12 N. Since the counter force is less than the pulling force, the blocks start to move and hence, kinetic frictions are considered.


Therefore, f1 = uk * N1 = (0.60)(39.2) = 23.52 N.

What magnitude charge creates a 1.0 n/c electric field at a point 1.0 m away?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

1.1\cdot 10^{-10}C

Explanation:

The electric field produced by a single point charge is given by:

E=k\frac{q}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

In this problem, we have

E = 1.0 N/C (magnitude of the electric field)

r = 1.0 m (distance from the charge)

Solving the equation for q, we find the charge:

q=\frac{Er^2}{k}=\frac{(1.0 N/c)(1.0 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2c^{-2}}=1.1\cdot 10^{-10}C
