Answer:

The mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is $3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg$

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 10 light year

Orbital speed = 180 km/s

Suppose determine the mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

Take the distance of one light year to be 9.461×10¹⁵ m. I was able to get this it is 4.26×10³⁷ kg.

We need to calculate the radius of the orbit

Using formula of radius

$r=\dfrac{d}{2}$

$r=\dfrac{15\times9.461\times10^{15}}{2}$

$r=7.09\times10^{16}\ m$

We need to calculate the mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy

Using formula of mass

$M=\dfrac{v^2r}{G}$

Put the value into the formula

$M=\dfrac{(180\times10^3)^2\times7.09\times10^{16}}{6.67\times10^{-11}}$

$M=3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg$

Hence, The mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is $3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg$

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates a force of 43.

zmey [24]

To solve this problem, we must take two important steps. First we will convert all the given units, to international system. Later we will define the torque, which is given as the product between the radius of application of the force and the Force acting on the body. Mathematically the latter is,

$\tau = r F$

Here,

r = Radius

F = Force

Now the units,

$r = 1.95cm = 1.95*10^{-2}m$

Replacing,

$\tau = (1.95*10^{-2})(43.5N)$

$\tau = 0.8483N\cdot m$

Therefore the torque that the muscle produces on the wrist is $0.85N\cdot m$

What is the value for the kinetic energy for a n = 5 Bohr orbit electron in zeptoJoules?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is 86.6 zepto joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of orbit n =5

We know that,

Bohr's radius for hydrogen atom is

$r = 0.53\times10^{-10}\times n^2\ m$

Now, put the value of n in the formula of radius

$r=0.53\times10^{-10}\times5^2$

$r =1.33\times10^{-9}\ m$

We need to calculate the kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

$E_{k}=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\times\dfrac{e^2}{2\times r_{s}}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{k}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times(1.6\times10^{-19})^2}{2\times1.33\times10^{-9}}$

$E_{k}=8.66\times10^{-20}\ J$

We know that,

$1\ zepto\ joule=1\times10^{-21}\ J$

The kinetic energy is

$E_{k}=\dfrac{8.66\times10^{-20}}{1\times10^{-21}}$

$E_{k}=86.6\ zepto\ Joules$

Hence, The kinetic energy is 86.6 zepto joules.

Which of the following is a typical property of an ionic compound

Yanka [14]

The answer is C.

Ionic compounds are those that bring together anions and cations bonded together by ionic bonds. The electrostatic forces of the different charges are significant in the bonds that make them strong hence require high energy to break them (high melting point). Due to the regular structure of ionic compound that tend to form lattices in solid form, when struck, they shatter along the lines of weakness of the lattice.

A weightlifter can lift 220lbs. (assume 1kg weighs 2.2lbs) If he lifts the weight 2m above the floor, how much work did he do?

Anton [14]

Convert 220 lb to kg.

220/2.2 = 100kg.

W = Fd (In this case, F is the weight)
W = (100)(2)
W = 200J

P = W/t
P = (200)/(1.2)
P = 166.67W
