Stars within the halo move in random orbits that extend above and below the disk of the galaxy, while stars in the disk move in

orderly, elliptical orbits within the galactic plane. as seen from the outside of the milky way, which of the images below correctly illustrates the orbital motions and distribution of stars within the halo?

<span>Answer: Spherical Distribution Feedback: Correct The stars in the halo component have highly-inclined random orbits that orbit the center of our Galaxy. The stars within the halo would therefore make up a spherical distribution of stars surrounding the center of the Galaxy. In comparison, the disk stars move in elliptical orbits, which are nearly circular and are confined to the disk of the Galaxy. Disk stars therefore have very small inclinations and do not move above or below the plane of the Galactic disk.</span>

Which of the follow represent a chemical changes
mixer [17]

Answer:

C) steel turning to rust in salt air

Explanation:

The missing options are:

A) ice melting to form liquid water

B) water boiling to form steam

C) steel turning to rust in salt air

D) sugar dissolving into hot coffee

In a chemical change the atoms of the reacting compounds are reordered forming new compounds. In a chemical change, new compounds appear, but in a physical change not.

Then, change of states like ice melting and water boiling are not chemical changes.

During steel rust, components of steel, like iron, are oxidized, that is, reacts with oxygen forming oxides.

The dissolution of sugar into hot coffee is a physical change in which sugar molecules get further apart in the coffee,  but they don't change.

Describe how engineers designed a parachute to create the forces needed to slow down the falling person.
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Due to the resistance of air, a drag force acts on a falling body (parachute) to slow down its motion. Without air resistance, or drag, objects would continue to increase speed until they hit the ground. The larger the object, the greater its air resistance. Parachutes use a large canopy to increase air resistance. Also, Once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down. Sorry if not helpful.

4. A family leaves from New York City and is flying to Los Angles which is 2800mi away. It takes
Blizzard [7]

The average speed of the whole travel is equal to <u>400 mph</u>.

Why?

From the statement, we know that whole travel is divided into three parts. For the first part (traveling from New York to Chicago), we have that it was 3.25 hours and the covered distance was half of the total distance (1400mi). For the second part, we have that it was 1 hour (layover time), and the covered no distance. For the third part (traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles), we have that it was 2.75 hours, and it took the other half of the total distance (1400mi).

We can calculate the average speed of the whol travel using the following formula:

AverageSpeed=\frac{distance_{1}+distance_{2}+distance_{3}}{time_{1}+time{2}+time_{3}}

Now, substituting and calculating, we have:

AverageSpeed=\frac{1400mi+0mi+1400mi}{3.25h+1h+2.75h}

AverageSpeed=\frac{2800mi}{7h}=400mph

Hence, we have the average speed of the whole travel is equal to 400 mph.

Have a nice day!

John and Caroline go out for a walk one day. This graph represents their distance from home.
Serga [27]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  We have velocity of a body = Change in position/ Time.

  Considering first portion of graph,

  Change in position = 30 - 0 = 30 m

  Time = 0.75 hours = 45 minutes = 2700 seconds

   Velocity = 30/2700 = 0.011 m/s

  Considering second portion of graph,

  Change in position = 30 - 30 = 0 m

  Time = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

   Velocity = 0/1800 = 0 m/s

 Considering third portion of graph,

  Change in position = 0 - 30 = -30 m

  Time = 0.75 hours = 45 minutes = 2700 seconds

   Velocity = -30/2700 = -0.011 m/s

So firstly they walked in one direction(positive direction), then they were still(velocity is zero), then they walked in the opposite direction( velocity is negative).

Option C is the correct answer.
