How does the hypothesis of inflation account for the existence of the "seeds" of density from which galaxies and other large structures formed?
A) Inflation would have caused random, microscopic quantum fluctuations to grow so large in size that they became the seeds of structure. B) Inflation predicts that gravity would have been very strong and thereby would have concentrated mass into seeds. C) Inflation tells us that the universe should have a "flat" overall geometry, and this led to the flat disks of galaxies. D) Inflation predicts that temperatures and densities should have become nearly equal throughout the universe.
A uniform thin wire has a length and is bent into a semicircular arc of radius R. If the wire starts at (x, y) = (R, 0) and curves counterclockwise to (x, y) = (?R, 0), what is the y coordinate of its center of mass?
