We learned that We are in the disk of the Galaxy, about 5/8 of the way from the center.

<h3>What is the work of Harlow Shapley?</h3>

Shapley, who was headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, used Cepheid variable stars to estimate the size of the Milky Way Galaxy and its position relative to the Sun. In 1953, he published his "liquid water belt" theory, today known as the concept of a livable zone.

There are many stars, grains of dust, and gas in the Milky Way. It is known as a spiral galaxy because, from the top or bottom, it would appear to be whirling like a pinwheel. About 25,000 light-years from the galaxy's nucleus, the Sun is situated on one of the spiral arms.

Approximately 5/8 of the way from the galaxy's nucleus, we are in the disc. William Herschel believed that the Sun and Earth were about in the middle of the vast cluster of stars known as the Milky Way.

OLga [1]

Answer:

5 N

Explanation:

The bucket is moving at a constant speed of 2m/s Therefore F=ma is 0 N for this to be correct the magnitude of the force exerted by the rope must be equal to the weight of the bucket which is 5 N

When you have two like charges in a line â where is the electric field the greatest? is there ever a point where the field will
Vesna [10]

The magnitude of the electric field will be the greatest at the point where it is closest,to its charges.

Yes ,there is a point where the field will be zero.

what is an electric field?

The region where an electrostatic force is experienced by a charged entity is known as the electric field at a point.

As per the principle of field lines and vectors,where the field lines are in a close manner together,the field will be strongest.However ,where the field lines are in a manner apart,the field will be the weakest.

As per the concept,the electric field will be the greatest at the point where it is closest to its charges.For like charges, the electric field will be zero closer to the smaller charge and will be along the line joining the two charges. For opposite charges of equal magnitude, there will not be any zero electric fields.

Thus,we can conclude that there will be a point where the electric field is zero
