Astronomers have observed a small, massive object at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. A ring of material orbits this massive

Burka [1]

Answer:

$1.91773\times 10^{37}\ kg$

Explanation:

v = Orbital speed = 130 km/s

d = Diameter = 16 ly

r = Radius = $\dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{16}{2}=8\ ly$

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

$1\ ly=9.461\times 10^{15}\ m$

As the centripetal force balances the gravitational energy we have the following relation

$\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{v^2r}{G}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{130000^2\times 8\times 9.461\times 10^{15}}{6.67\times 10^{-11}}\\\Rightarrow M=1.91773\times 10^{37}\ kg$

Mass of the the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is $1.91773\times 10^{37}\ kg$

A mosquito can fly with a speed of 1.10 m/s with respect to the air. Suppose a mosquito flies east at this speed across a swamp.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

The velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be 0.302m/s

Explanation:

V(ma) = 1.10 m/s, east Velocity of mosquito with respect to air

V(ae) = 1.4 m/s at 35° Velocity of air with respect to Earth in west of south direction.

Velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be

V(me) = V(ma) + V(ae)

We need to find the mosquito’s speed with respect to Earth in the x direction.

V(x, me) = V(x, ma) + V(x, ae) = V(ma) + V(ae)(cos theta(ae) )

Angle (ae) = –90.0° − 35°=−125°

V(x, me) = 1.10 + (1.4)Cos(-125)

= 1.10 + 1.4(-0.57)

= 1.10 -0.798

= 0.302

So the velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be 0.302m/s

Statements about isotopes

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Key Takeaways: Isotopes

Isotopes are samples of an element with different numbers of neutrons in their atoms.

The number of protons for different isotopes of an element does not change.

Not all isotopes are radioactive. Stable isotopes either never decay or else decay very slowly. ...

When an isotope decays, the starting material is the parent isotope.

What causes the difference in the angle of the sun on the Earth's surface throughout the year?

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The axis is tilted and points to the North Star no matter where Earth is in its orbit. Because of this, the distribution of the Sun's rays changes. ... It also means that the angle at which sunlight strikes different parts of Earth's surface changes through the year.
