Why is the number of galaxies in the Local Group uncertain?
What will be an ideal response?
The total number of galaxies in the Local Group is uncertain because some galaxies lie in the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy and are difficult to detect.

An electron and a proton, are released simultaneously from rest and start to move towards each other because of the attractive Coulomb force between them. They are initially separated by a distance d. The two particles eventually collide
When they collide, A) they are closer to the electron's initial position. B) they are at the midpoint of their initial separation. C) they are closer to the proton's initial position. D) Not enough data is given to predict where they collide.
