Yes, a galaxy with a lot of dark matter would have a high mass-to-light ratio compared to the Sun.

<h3>Contribution of dark matter in mass to light ratio?</h3>

This largely invisible matter such as dark matter adds to the mass of the galaxy while it has no contribution in its luminosity which increases the mass-to-light ratio. If dark invisible matter is present in a galaxy, its mass-to-light ratio can be as high.

So we can conclude that the statement is true.

A 2 kg rubber ball is thrown at a wall horizontally at 3 m/s, and bounces back the way it came at an equal speed. A 2 kg clay ba

Answer:

THE RUBBER BALL

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the rubber ball is $m_r = 2 \ kg$

The initial speed of the rubber ball is $u = 3 \ m/s$

The final speed at which it bounces bank $v - 3 \ m/s$

The mass of the clay ball is $m_c = 2 \ kg$

The initial speed of the clay ball is $u = 3 \ m/s$

The final speed of the clay ball is $v = 0 \ m/s$

Generally Impulse is mathematically represented as

$I = \Delta p$

where $\Delta p$ is the change in the linear momentum so

$I = m(v-u)$

For the rubber is

$I_r = 2(-3 -3)$

$I_r = -12\ kg \cdot m/s$

=> $|I_r| = 12\ kg \cdot m/s$

For the clay ball

$I_c = 2(0-3)$

$I_c = -6 \ kg\cdot \ m/s$

=> $| I_c| = 6 \ kg\cdot \ m/s$

So from the above calculation the ball with the a higher magnitude of impulse is the rubber ball

g In a certain binary-star system, each star has the same mass which is 8.2 times of that of the Sun, and they revolve about the

Mademuasel [1]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Third Law of Kepler.

Kepler's third law tells us that the period is defined as

$T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 d^3}{2GM}$

The given data are given with respect to known constants, for example the mass of the sun is

$m_s = 1.989*10^{30}$

The radius between the earth and the sun is given by

$r = 149.6*10^9m$

From the mentioned star it is known that this is 8.2 time mass of sun and it is 6.2 times the distance between earth and the sun

Therefore:

$m = 8.2*1.989*10^{30}$

$d = 6.2*149.6*10^6$

Substituting in Kepler's third law:

$T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 d^3}{2}$

$T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2(6.2*149.6*10^9)^3}{2(6.674*10^{-11} )(8.2*1.989*10^30 )}$

$T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2(6.2*149.6*10^9)^3}{2(6.674*10^{-11} )(8.2*1.989*10^30)}}$

$T = 120290789.7s$

$T = 120290789.7s(\frac{1year}{31536000s})$

$T \approx 3.8143 years$

Therefore the period of this star is 3.8years
