When two spiral galaxies collide, the stars generally do not run into each other, but the gas clouds do collide, triggering a burst of new star formation. (a) Estimate the probability that our Sun would collide with another star in the Andromeda Galaxy, if a collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda were happening at the present time. To simplify the problem, assume that each galaxy has 100 billion stars exactly like the Sun spread evenly over a circular disk with a radius of 100,000 light-years. (Hint: First calculate the total area of 100 billion circles with the radius of the Sun and then compare that total area to the area of the galactic disk.) (b) Estimate the probability that a gas cloud in our galaxy could collide with another gas cloud in the Andromeda Galaxy. To simplify the problem, assume that each galaxy contains 100,000 gas clouds of warm hydrogen gas, that each cloud has a radius of 300 light-years, and that these clouds are spread evenly over a circular disk with a…

Albert Einstein is pondering how to write his (soonto-be-famous) equation. He knows that energy E is a function of mass m and the speed of light c, but he doesn't know the functional relationship (E = m2c? E = mc4?). Pretend that Albert knows nothing about dimensional analysis, but since you are taking a fluid mechanics class, you help Albert come up with his equation. Use the step-by-step method of repeating variables to generate a dimensionless relationship between these parameters, showing all of your work. Compare this to Einstein's famous equation—does dimensional analysis give you the correct form of the equation?
