Concept explainers
Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.
Distances Between Galaxies. If you were to divide the present-day universe up into cubes with sides 10 million light-years long, each cube would contain, on average, about one galaxy similar in size to the Milky Way. Now suppose you traveled back in time, to an era when the average distance between galaxies was one-quarter of its current value. How many galaxies similar in size to the Milky Way would you expect to find, on average, in cubes of the same size? In order to simplify the problem, assume that the total number of galaxies of each type has not changed between then and now. Based on your answer, would you expect collision, to be much more frequent at that time or only moderately more frequent?

- PLEASE be clear in your answer since the last time I posted was incorrect and only answer part a, thanks.arrow_forwardThink of our Milky Way Galaxy as a flat circular disk of diameter 100,000 light-years. Suppose we are one of 1000 civilizations, randomly distributed through the disk, interested in communicating via radio waves. How far away in light years would the nearest such civilization be from us on average? Show your working. (Hint: Begin by calculating the area of the disk. Find the area of one of a 1,000 squares. Consider the separation of the centres of two adjacent squares.)arrow_forwardState the definition for a parsec, and derive its value in terms of As- tronomical Units. Convert your answer for the value of the distance of a parsec in Astronomical Units into light years. Be sure to include a large and clearly labeled diagram showing how you arrived at your conclusions. Be sure to show all work!arrow_forward
- On this situation for science I do not understand. Under the write section is what we're supposed to be including. So down below I will show you what it is asking, and what it wants me to write 2 paragraphs about can you please help me with a deep explanation, because I need help asap because it's due at 11:59 tonight.arrow_forwardFor the graph shown above, a) what quantity would you label the y-axis with if the distance is between galaxies and the Earth? Explain your answer. Think through what we know is happening, motion-wise, out there in the galaxy. b) Also explain why you think there are dots and a solid line, on the graph.arrow_forwardPlease answer the question and its subquestions entirely! This is one question with two subquestions. According to the official Bartleby guidelines, I am alowed to have up to two subquestion! 1) When an ice-skater spins and increases her rotation rate by pulling her arms and leg in, what happens to her kinetic energy? It stays the same. It increases. It decreases. a) A 0.400 kg mass, sitting on a horizontal frictionless surface, is attached to the end of a 0.750 m string. It is whirled around in a circular horizontal path. If the maximum tension that the string can withstand is 450 N, then what maximum velocity can the mass have if the string is not to break? 375 m/s 22.4 m/s 19.4 m/s 29.0 m/s b) A grinding wheel with a moment of inertia of 2 kg-m 2 has a 2.50 N-m torque applied to it. What is its final kinetic energy 10 seconds after starting from rest? 312 J 237 J 156 J 106 Jarrow_forward
- Please help me with all the parts, and double and triple check your answers, previous tutors got it wrong there are 2 parts attached as 2 screenshotsarrow_forwardPlease show the complete solution and write your answer clearly and readable.arrow_forwardNeed help with prob 2. Please show your work and box your answer thank youarrow_forward
- please answer all the parts, and double and triple check your answers, previous tutors got it wrong, there are 4 total parts attached as 2 screenshotsarrow_forwardCan I get this made into a line graph, please? And explain the process of creation is struggling with every editor I use.arrow_forwardPlease show your complete solution and write your answer clearly and readable. Thank you.arrow_forward
