Answer:

The work done on the wagon is, W = 4531 J

Explanation:

Given data,

The displacement of the circus wagon, S = 23 m

The elephant pulled with a force, Fₐ = 250 N

The angle of direction of force with the horizontal, Ф = 38°

Therefore, the force in the horizontal direction is,

F = Fₐ Cos Ф

The work done on the wagon is

W = F · S

= Fₐ Cos Ф · S

= Fₐ · S · Cos Ф

= 250 · 23 · Cos 38°

= 4531 J

Hence, the work done on the wagon is, W = 4531 J

What is carried by a wave?

Nata [24]

Waves carry energy from one place to another. Because waves carry energy, some waves are used for communication, eg radio and television waves and mobile telephone signals. ... Some types of waves need to be transmitted through matter, either a solid, liquid or a gas. For example, water waves have to travel in water.

M84, M87, and NGC 4258 all have accretion disks around their central black holes for which the rotational velocities have been m

givi [52]

Answer:

For M84:

M = 590.7 * 10³⁶ kg

For M87:

M = 2307.46 * 10³⁶ kg

Explanation:

1 parsec, pc = 3.08 * 10¹⁶ m

The equation of the orbit speed can be used to calculate the doppler velocity:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }$

making m the subject of the formula in the equation above to calculate the mass of the black hole:

$M = \frac{v^{2} r}{G}$ .............(1)

For M84:

r = 8 pc = 8 * 3.08 * 10¹⁶

r = 24.64 * 10¹⁶ m

v = 400 km/s = 4 * 10⁵ m/s

G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Substituting these values into equation (1)

$M = \frac{( 4*10^{5}) ^{2} *24.64* 10^{16} }{6.674 * 10^{-11} }$

M = 590.7 * 10³⁶ kg

For M87:

r = 20 pc = 20 * 3.08 * 10¹⁶

r = 61.6* 10¹⁶ m

v = 500 km/s = 5 * 10⁵ m/s

G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Substituting these values into equation (1)

$M = \frac{( 5*10^{5}) ^{2} *61.6* 10^{16} }{6.674 * 10^{-11} }$

M = 2307.46 * 10³⁶ kg

The mass of the black hole in the galaxies is measured using the doppler shift.

The assumption made is that the intrinsic velocity dispersion is needed to match the line widths that are observed.
