The total mass of the galaxy is 443.4 Solar mass

Orbital velocity ( $v$ ) = $\sqrt{\frac{MG}{R} }$

where M= weight of galaxy

G= gravitational constatnt = $6.674*10^-^1^1$ (given)

R = distance from centre = $41200$ Light years (given)= $4.12*9.5*10^1^6$ km (1 ly= $9.5*10^3$ billion km)

v= orbital velocity = $275$ $km/s$ (given)

∴ According to the formula

$(2.75*10^2)^2$ = $\frac{M*6.674*10^-^1^1}{4.12*9.5*10^1^6}$

⇒ $7.56*10^4*4.12*9.5*10^1^6=M*6.674*10^-^1^1$ (cross multiplying and expanding)

⇒ $29.59*10^2^1=M*6.674*10^-^1^1$

⇒ $\frac{29.59*10^2^1*10^1^1}{6.674}=M$

⇒ $4.434*10^3^2=M$

1 solar mass = $1.989*10^3^0 kg$

⇒ Mass in solar mass =443.4 Solar mass

⇒ M = 443.4 Solar mass

Answer:

this the way that hydraulic pump works:

The system of hydraulic jack lifts the heavy objects by transferring the oil from one chamber to another.

Through the suction valves into the two cylinders which creates pressure distributing the fluid equally to the points causing the objects to lift up.

A 1.40-kg ball tied to a string fixed to the ceiling is pulled to one side by a force F→ . where L = 1.40 kg. What is the tensio

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

T=13.72N

Explanation:

The tension before the ball is released have no angle is in rest at the same axis of the weight so:

∑F=0

Using Newton law in this case the ball is tied so tension before become to swing is

∑F=FN-T=0

$T=F_{N}$

$T=m*g$

$T=1.40Kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}$

$T=13.72N$

Por favor, necesito ayuda urgente 4. vectores perpendiculares de 25 y 40 unidades cada uno. Hallar gráfica y numericamente el ve

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

4) R = 47.17 units , 5) R= 10,29 unidades, 6) R= 2994,4 km , θ = -33,7

Explanation:

Este es un ejercicio de adición de vectores

4) como los vectores son perpendiculares.

Para encontrar la resultante podemos usar el teorema de pitoras

R = √ a² + b²

R = √√ ( 25² + 40²)

R = 47,17 unidades

5) Este caso como el angulo es diferente de 90 debemos usar la relación de pitoras completa

R² = a² + b² + 2 a b cos θ

donde el angulo es entre los vectores a y b

R² = 12² + 16² – 2 12 16 cos 40

R²= 400 – 294,16

R= 10,29 unidades

6) En este caso los dos desplazamientos son perpendiculares, por lo cual Usamos el teorema de Pitágoras

R = √ (2400² + 1600²)

R= 2994,4 km

para el angulo de este desplazamiento usamos trigonometría

tan θ = y/x

θ = tan⁻¹ y/x

θ = tan⁻¹ 1600/(-2400)

θ = -33,7

TRASLATE

This is a vector addition exercise

4) as the vectors are perpendicular.

To find the result we can use the Poreor theorem

R = √ a² + b²

R = √ (25² + 40²)

R = 47.17 units

5) This case, as the angle is different from 90, we must use the complete ratio of the pitoras

R² = a² + b² + 2 a b cos θ

where the angle is between vectors a and b

R² = 12² + 16² - 2 12 16 cos 40

R² = 400 - 294.16

R = 10.29 units

6) In this case the two displacements are perpendicular, which is why we use the Pythagorean theorem

R = √ (2400² + 1600²)

R = 2,994.4 km

for the angle of this displacement we use trigonometry

tan θ = y / x

θ = tan⁻¹ y / x

θ = tan⁻¹ 1600 / (- 2400)

θ = -33.7

In a circus performance, a monkey on a sled is given an initial speed of 4.3 m/s up a 24◦ incline. The combined mass of the monk

Serggg [28]

Answer:

d = 1.15 m

Explanation:

In absence of friction, the change in kinetic energy of the combined mass of the monkey and the sled, must be equal (with opposite sign), to the change in gravitational potential energy:

ΔK = -ΔU

When friction is not negligible, the change in mechanical energy, must be equal to the work done by non-conservative forces (kinetic friction in this case):

ΔK + ΔU = Wnc (1)

As the monkey + sled reach to the maximum distance up the incline, they will come momentarily to a stop, so the final kinetic energy is 0.

$(K_{f} -K_{o}) = 0 - \frac{1}{2} * m*v_{o} ^{2} = -\frac{1}{2} *22.5kg*(4.3m/s)^{2} = -208.1J$

The change in gravitational energy, can be written as follows:

$(U_{f} - U_{o} ) = m*g*h - 0 = m*g*h = \\ \\ 22.5 kg*9.8 m/s2*d*sin (24 deg) = 89.7J*d$

The sum of these two quantities, must be equal to the work done by the friction force, along the distance d up the incline:

$W_{nc} = -\mu k*N*d$

The normal force, always normal to the surface, must be equal and opposite to the component of the weight normal to the incline:

$N = m*g*cos \theta = m*g*cos (24 deg) = \\ \\ 22.5 kg*9.8m/s2*0.913 = 201.4 N$

Replacing in the equation for Wnc:

$W_{nc} = -\mu k*N*d = -0.45*201.4 N*d = -90.6 N*d$

We can return to the equation (1) and solve for d:

$-208.1 J + 89.7N*d = -90.6N*d\\\\ d = \frac{208.1}{180.3} =1.15 m$
