Astronomers observe galaxies and categorize them according to four different kinds of shapes: elliptical, spiral, barred-spiral, and irregular. In addition to shape, each of the four different galaxy types can be described by other common characteristics.
Match the following characteristics with their corresponding galaxy type.

a) Round, no disk, very little gas and dust, only old stars
b) Central bulge, flattened disk, spiral arms, gas, dust, young stars.
c) Elongated central structure, flattened disk, spiral arms, gas and dust, young stars.
d) Asymmetric, often with gas, dust, and young stars.

1. Spiral galaxy
2. Irregular galaxy
3. Elliptical galaxy
4. Barred-spiral galaxy

Clothing made of several thin layers of fabric with trapped air in between, often called ski clothing, is commonly used in cold climates because it is light, fashionable, and a very effective thermal insulator. so it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thickand heavy old-fashioned coats. (a) consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 w/m·°c) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 w/m·°c) between the layers. assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°c and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°c and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 w/m2·°c. (b) what would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? what should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 w/m·°c) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a five-layer ski jacket?
