A star near the visible edge of a galaxy travels in a uniform circular orbit. It is 41,200 ly (light-years) from the galactic ce

nter and has a speed of 275 km/s. Estimate the total mass of the galaxy based on the motion of the star.
Gravitational constant is 6.674×10−11 m3/(kg·s2) and mass of the Sun Ms=1.99 × 1030 kg.

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

butalik [34]

Answer:

a. Quadruped arm and opposite leg raise

Explanation:

Quadruped arm and opposite leg lift

- Kneel on the floor, lean forward and place your hands down.

- Keep your knees in line with your hips and hands directly under your shoulders.

- Simultaneously raise one arm and extend the opposite leg, so that they are in line with the spine.

- Go back to the starting position.

This method is usually used as an alternative to iso-abs exercise or also known as a bridge, which allows you to exercise the abdominal and spinal area at the same time.

It is also used together with other exercises for the treatment of hyperlordosis.

A kite 100 ft above the ground moves horizontally at a speed of 12 ft/s. at what rate is the angle (in radians) between the stri
Viefleur [7K]
<span>Answer: So this involves right triangles. The height is always 100. Let the horizontal be x and the length of string be z. So we have x2 + 1002 = z2. Now take its derivative in terms of time to get 2x(dx/dt) = 2z(dz/dt) So at your specific moment z = 200, x = 100âš3 and dx/dt = +8 substituting, that makes dz/dt = 800âš3 / 200 or 4âš3. Part 2 sin a = 100/z = 100 z-1 . Now take the derivative in terms of t to get cos a (da./dt) = -100/ z2 (dz/dt) So we know z = 200, which makes this a 30-60-90 triangle, therefore a=30 degrees or Ď€/6 radians. Substitute to get cos (Ď€/6)(da/dt) = (-100/ 40000)(4âš3) âš3 / 2 (da/dt) = -âš3 / 100 da/dt = -1/50 radians</span>

Nostrana [21]

The values with (1/2)(9.8 m/s2) (4 - X)^2 = (1.7 × 10^8 m/s) (X) —> We discover with the calculator X = 4.40 × 10^-7. The depth of the ice is then calculated by multiplying by the speed 74.8 m. Through ice, radio waves move at a speed of 1.7 x 108 m/s.

What is radio waves?

A radio wave pulse that is delivered into the Antarctic ice returns after reflecting off the bottom rock. A radio wave pulse that is transmitted into the Antarctic ice bounces off the subsurface rock and resurfaces. ice in Antarctica Through ice, radio waves move at a speed of 1.7 108 m/s. The rock reflects the radio wave pulse that was transmitted into the Antarctic ice. The amount of time that passed between the signal being sent and being received by the earth station.
