To calculate the acceleration of the truck, we use the equation of motion

$v = u + at$

Here, v is final velocity of the truck, u is initial velocity of truck, a is acceleration of the truck and t is time taken.

Given, u = 6 m/s, v = 14 m/s and t = 4 s.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

$14 \ m/s = 6 \ m/s + a \times 4 \ s \\\\ a = \frac{14 \ m/s - 6 \ m/s}{ 4 \ s } = 2 \ m /s^2$ .

Thus, the truck acceleration is $2 \ m /s^2$

M84, M87, and NGC 4258 all have accretion disks around their central black holes for which the rotational velocities have been m

givi [52]

Answer:

For M84:

M = 590.7 * 10³⁶ kg

For M87:

M = 2307.46 * 10³⁶ kg

Explanation:

1 parsec, pc = 3.08 * 10¹⁶ m

The equation of the orbit speed can be used to calculate the doppler velocity:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }$

making m the subject of the formula in the equation above to calculate the mass of the black hole:

$M = \frac{v^{2} r}{G}$ .............(1)

For M84:

r = 8 pc = 8 * 3.08 * 10¹⁶

r = 24.64 * 10¹⁶ m

v = 400 km/s = 4 * 10⁵ m/s

G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Substituting these values into equation (1)

$M = \frac{( 4*10^{5}) ^{2} *24.64* 10^{16} }{6.674 * 10^{-11} }$

M = 590.7 * 10³⁶ kg

For M87:

r = 20 pc = 20 * 3.08 * 10¹⁶

r = 61.6* 10¹⁶ m

v = 500 km/s = 5 * 10⁵ m/s

G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Substituting these values into equation (1)

$M = \frac{( 5*10^{5}) ^{2} *61.6* 10^{16} }{6.674 * 10^{-11} }$

M = 2307.46 * 10³⁶ kg

The mass of the black hole in the galaxies is measured using the doppler shift.

The assumption made is that the intrinsic velocity dispersion is needed to match the line widths that are observed.

How does a generator work?

insens350 [35]

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output.

It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.

The modern-day generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

0.19m/s²

Explanation:

Initial velocity(u) = 50×1000/60×60

=13.88 m/s

Final velocity(v) = 36.5×1000/60×60

=10.13 m/s

Acceleration(a) = v-u/t

=10.13-13.88/19.5

a= -0.19m/s²

-a = 0.19m/s²

The magnitude of retar dation is 0.19m/s²
