For 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.
Read the following questions carefully and answer the problems using GRESA.
1. Assuming that the field of view is flat, what is the resultant vector (yellow line) of an observer pointing his telescope starting at the Andromeda galaxy, then moving 62 units 27° S of W to Jupiter, then finally moving to Saturn 17 units 72° S of W. Express your magnitude to the nearest hundredths units, and the angle to the nearest hundredths °, following the standard cartesian plane coordinate system.
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.

- Please provide steps for how you got the solution to the problem provided below, I am trying to understand the problem, not just see an answer. Thank you so much. A space ship warp engine has enough energy to perform two warp jumps going between star systems (i.e., the warp battery has 2 units of charge). The ship can operate in two modes: survey the current system or charge battery. On a given day the ship will complete the survey of the current system with probability 0.24. Then, if battery has capacity, it will move to a new system, consuming 1 unit of charge. If the battery is empty, the ship will switch to the charging mode. In the charging mode, the ship will recover 1 unit of charge on a given day with probability 0.95. The ship will stay in the charging mode until the battery is full. Model the behavior of the ship as a Markov chain.arrow_forwardexplain each physics formula by saying what each variable means/stands for and explain the formula as a whole, please.arrow_forwardThink of our Milky Way Galaxy as a flat circular disk of diameter 100,000 light-years.

Therefore, the amount of energy in the universe is constant. In your initial post to the discussion, respond to the following prompts: What do you think would happen if energy were not conserved? Think of (and share) two scenarios in which our lives would be drastically altered if this law of conservation was not in place. At least one of your scenarios should be at the molecular level. Would the implications be positive? Negative? Explain.arrow_forwardDISCLAIMER : THIS IS MY ASSIGNMENT :)) ,, ALSO PLEASE REFER ON THE REMINDERS.. OUR SUBJECT IS GENERAL PHYSICS 1.
