Infrared observations of the orbits of stars close to the galactic center indicate a small object at the center with a mass of a

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

(4.31±0.38) million Solar masses.

Explanation:

The galactic center is the center of the milky way around which the galaxy rotates. It is most likely the location of a supermassive black hole which has a mass of (4.31±0.38) million Solar masses. The location is called Sagittarius A*.

As there is interstellar dust in our line of sight from the Earth infrared observations need to be taken.

An attack helicopter is equipped with a 20- mm cannon that fires 87 g shells in the forward direction with a muzzle speed of 853

uysha [10]

Answer

given,

mass of the shell = 87 g = 0.087 Kg

speed of the muzzle = 853 m/s

mass of the helicopter = 4410 kg

A burst of 176 shell fired in 2.93 s

resulting average force = ?

momentum of the shell = m v

= 0.087 x 853

= 74.21 kgm/s

momentum of 176 shell is = 176 p

= 176 x 74.21

= 13060.96

momentum of helicopter = - 13060.96 kgm/s

amount of speed reduce a = $\dfrac{13060.96}{M}$

a= $\dfrac{13060.96}{4410}$

a = 2.96 m/s²

velocity = \dfrac{2.96}{2.93}

v = 1.01 m/s

Which of the following will cause an induced current in a coil of wire? A. A wire carrying a constant current near the coil B. A

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

B. A magnet being moved into or out of the coil

Explanation:

Faraday law of electromagnetic induction states that when there is change in flux , an emf is produced . Among the given instances , only in case of B , flux is changing . So current will be induced in the coil . We shall see how it takes place .

A wire carrying constant current will produce magnetic flux in nearby coil but there is no change in flux because current as well as position of wire with respect to coil are not changing .

Passing of magnetic field through a stationary coil produces flux in the coil but here too there is no change in flux so no current will be induced .

A magnet positioned near a coil creates magnetic flux in the coil but the magnitude of flux remains constant so no change in flux and no creation of induced current .

In the Olympic shot-put event, an athlete throws the shot with an initial speed of 12.0 m/s at a 40.0 ∘ angle from the horizonta

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

given,

initial speed of the shot = 12.0 m/s

angle = 40°

height at which shot leaves her hand = 1.80 m

v_x = 12 cos 40° = 9.19 m/s

v_y = 12 sin 40° = 7.71 m/s

time to reach maximum height =

= $\dfrac{v_y}{g}$

= $\dfrac{7.71}{9.8}$

= 0.787 s

$h = v_y t + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

h = 7.71 × 0.787 - 0.5 × 9.81 × 0.787²

h = 3.03 m

the maximum height attain = 3.03 + 1.8 = 4.83 m

now free fall from the maximum height

$h =\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$4.83 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times t^2$

t = 0.9928 s

total time = 0.9928 + 0.787 = 1.7798 s

range =

d = vₓ t

d = 16.36 m
