Concept explainers
Part a
Location of the following constellations having globular clusters relative to Milky Way’s disk and its galactic centre, i.e. constellation Sagittarius: Aquarius, Aquila, Canes Venatici, Capricornous, Carina, Centaurus, Columba, Coma Berenices, Hercules, Hydra, Lepus, Lynx, Lyra, musca, ophiuchus, Pegasus, Puppis, Sagittarius, Scorpius, Sculptor, Serpens, Tucana and Vela.
Part b
Location of the following constellations having young open clusters (age less than 100 million years) relative to Milky Way’s disk and its galactic centre, i.e. constellation Sagittarius: Canis Major, Carina, Cassiopeia, Crux, Cygnus, Monoceros, Norma, Ophiuchus, Perseus, Puppis, Sagittarius, Scorpius, Scutum, Serpens, Taurus, and Vela.
Part c
Comparison of the locations of the two sets of clusters and description of differences.
Part d
An explanation about the observed differences in part (c).
Part e
An alternative explanation about the observed differences in part (c).
Part f
To Discuss:

- A plank 2.00 cm thick and 15.7 cm wide is firmly attached to the railing of a ship by clamps so that the rest of the board extends 2.00 m horizontally over the sea below. A man of mass 92.9 kg is forced to stand on the very end. If the end of the board drops by 5.97 cm because of the man's weight, find the shear modulus of the wood.arrow_forwardwhen considering particle B (4,1) distances in relation to P (-4, 5), why are the y coordinates being used gto resolve the distance along the x-axis and vice-versa?arrow_forwardA 198 kg load is hung on a wire of length of 3.58 m, cross-sectional area 2.00⋅ 10-5 m2, and Young's modulus 8.00⋅10^10 Pa.

- I. Pushing on a File Cabinet Bob has been asked to push a heavy file cabinet down the hall to another office. It's not on rollers, so there is a lot of friction. At time t = 0 seconds, he starts pushing it from rest with increasing force until it starts to move at t = 2 seconds. He pushes the file cabinet down the hall with varying amounts of force. The velocity versus time graph of the cabinet is shown below. A. On the graphs provided below, 1. draw the net force vs. time that would produce this velocity graph; 2. draw the friction force vs. time for this motion; 3. draw the applied force (Fon Cabinet by Bob) VS. time for this motion (the first two seconds of this graph have been drawn for you).
