What evidence supports the existence of a very massive black hole at the center of our galaxy?

<u>The motions of the gas and stars at the center indicate that it contains 4 million solar masses within a region no larger than our solar system</u> is the evidence supports the existence of a very massive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

<h3>What is black hole?</h3>

Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ventures too close—be it star, planet, or spacecraft—will be stretched and compressed like putty in a theoretical process aptly known as spaghettification.

There are four types of black holes: stellar, intermediate, supermassive, and miniature. The most commonly known way a black hole forms is by stellar death. As stars reach the ends of their lives, most will inflate, lose mass, and then cool to form white dwarfs. But the largest of these fiery bodies, those at least 10 to 20 times as massive as our own sun, are destined to become either super-dense neutron stars or so-called stellar-mass black holes.

Two charges, -20 C and +4.7 C, are fixed in place and separated by 3.0 m. a. At what spot along a line through the charges is th
Pani-rosa [81]

The zero net electric field point is at a point that is 0.98 m away from 4.7C charge.If a 14C charge is placed at this point then, force acted on the charge placed at this point is equal to zero.

Explanation:

Let at A both net electric field is zero then

At A ,E1=E2

E1=k*Iq1I / (d+x)^2

E2=k*Iq2I /x^2

What is the energy of a photon that has the same wavelength as an electron having a kinetic energy of 15 ev?
serg [7]

Answer: 6.268(10)^{-16}J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an electron K_{e} is given by the following equation:

K_{e}=\frac{(p_{e})^{2} }{2m_{e}}   (1)

Where:

K_{e}=15eV=2.403^{-18}J=2.403^{-18}\frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}

p_{e} is the momentum of the electron

m_{e}=9.11(10)^{-31}kg  is the mass of the electron

From (1) we can find p_{e}:

p_{e}=\sqrt{2K_{e}m_{e}}    (2)

p_{e}=\sqrt{2(2.403^{-18}J)(9.11(10)^{-31}kg)}  

p_{e}=2.091(10)^{-24}\frac{kgm}{s}   (3)

Now, in order to find the wavelength of the electron \lambda_{e}   with this given kinetic energy (hence momentum), we will use the De Broglie wavelength equation:

\lambda_{e}=\frac{h}{p_{e}}    (4)

Where:

h=6.626(10)^{-34}J.s=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s} is the Planck constant

So, we will use the value of p_{e} found in (3) for equation (4):

\lambda_{e}=\frac{6.626(10)^{-34}J.s}{2.091(10)^{-24}\frac{kgm}{s}}    

\lambda_{e}=3.168(10)^{-10}m    (5)

We are told the wavelength of the photon  \lambda_{p} is the same as the wavelength of the electron:

\lambda_{e}=\lambda_{p}=3.168(10)^{-10}m    (6)

Therefore we will use this wavelength to find the energy of the photon E_{p} using the following equation:

E_{p}=\frac{hc}{lambda_{p}}    (7)

Where c=3(10)^{8}m/s  is the spped of light in vacuum

E_{p}=\frac{(6.626(10)^{-34}J.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)}{3.168(10)^{-10}m}  

Finally:

E_{p}=6.268(10)^{-16}J

A wire is carrying current vertically downward. What is the direction of the force due to Earth's magnetic field on the wire?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The direction of the force will be towards the east

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The direction of the  downward

Generally according to Fleming's right-hand rule(

          Thumb -  direction of force

           Middle finger -  direction of current

           Index finger -  direction of the magnetic field

) and the fact that the earth magnetic field acts  from south to north with respect to the four cardinal points then the direction of the  force will be toward the east with respect to the four cardinal point on the earth

Number 13 please!!!!!!!!!!!
atroni [7]
'A' and 'C' both show that behavior.

'D' also shows it, but the object is moving backwards when time begins.
First it moves faster and faster backwards, then it moves slower and slower backwards.

What is the repulsive force between two pith balls that are 8.00 cm apart and have equal charges of – 30.0 nC?
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

F=1.26*10^{-3}N

Explanation:

Assuming the pith balls as point charges, we can calculate the repulsive force between them, using Coulomb's law:

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

We observe that the magnitude of the electric force is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both signed charges(q_1,q_2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d) that separates them.

Replacing the given values, where k is the Coulomb constant:

F=\frac{8.99*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}(-30*10^{-9}C)(-30*10^{-9}C)}{(8*10^{-2}m)^2}\\F=1.26*10^{-3}N
