b. 30.5 nm
c. 13.8 nm
d. 91.4 nm
e. 234 nm

By studying distant galaxies in the 1920s, Hubble made the following important discovery that led us to conclude that the universe is expanding

A) All galaxies contain billions of stars, and all galaxies have spiral shapes. B) All galaxies outside the Local Group are moving away from us, and the farther away they are, the faster they're going. C) All galaxies were born at the same time, and all will die at the same time. D) All galaxies outside the Local Group are orbiting the Local Group. E) All galaxies outside the Local Group are moving away from us, and all are moving away at nearly the same speed.

Two blocks are at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface with a compressed spring between them. The 15.0-kg block accelerates when the string holding the system in compression is cut and the 30.0-kg box accelerates in the opposite direction. What is the magnitude of the force from the expanding spring on the 30.0-kg box when the 15.0-kg box is undergoing an acceleration of 5.00 m/s2?

a. 37.5 N b. 150 N c. 225 N d. 75.0 N e. 0 N
