What causes the spiral structural in milky way?

1 answer:

Mrac [35]4 years ago

The spiral structure of the milky way can be explained by long lived quasi-static density waves<em>, </em><em>according to the lin-shu hypothesis. </em>Curiously, the waves of higher density gas and stars (seen as spiral arms) appear to remain static as stars move around the galaxy. This explained by assuming that the gravitational disturbances cause by the 'clumping' material in the arms does not affect the gravitational field of the galaxy as whole and is therefore negligible.

The mass of an object is independent of its location. true or false

Arturiano [62]

That's true. The mass of your body is like the money
in your pocket. It doesn't change, no matter where you
take it.

Gretchen runs the first 4.0 km of a race at 5.0 m/s. Then a stiff wind comes up, so she runs the last 1.0 km at only 4.0 m/s.

KIM [24]

Answer:

The velocity is $v = 4.76 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first distance is $d_1 = 4.0 \ km = 4000 \ m$

The first speed is $v_1 = 5.0 \ m/s$

The second distance is $d_2 = 1.0 \ km = 1000 \ m$

The second speed is $v_2 = 4.0 \ m/s$

Generally the time taken for first distance is

$t_1 = \frac{d_1 }{v_1 }$

$t_1 = \frac{4000}{5}$

$t_1 = 800 \ s$

The time taken for second distance is

$t_1 = \frac{d_2 }{v_2 }$

$t_1 = \frac{1000}{4}$

$t_1 = 250 \ s$

The total time is mathematically represented as

$t = t_1 + t_2$

=> $t = 800 + 250$

=> $t = 1050 \ s$

Generally the constant velocity that would let her finish at the same time is mathematically represented as

$v = \frac{d_1 + d_2}{t }$

=> $v = \frac{4000 + 1000}{1050 }$

=> $v = 4.76 \ m/s$

The initial volume reading in a graduated cylinder is 30 mL. The mass of an irregular shape of an unknown metal piece is 55.3 g.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

7.9 $\frac{gr}{cm^3}$

Explanation:

When we put the metal piece in the liquid (which is in the graduated cylinder), how much it goes up is equal to the volume of the piece we inserted.

So now we know that the volume of that piece of unknown metal is 7mL (which is the same as 7 $cm^3$ ).

Density is $\frac{mass}{volume}$ .

So the density of that piece of metal is $\frac{55.3g}{7cm^3}$

Which leaves us with a final density of 7.9 $\frac{gr}{cm^3}$
