When analyzing the speeds of stars far from the galactic center, the orbital speeds of stars ___________ as distance increases f
KiRa [710]

Answer: is constant

Explanation:

In order to analyze the velocity of the stars within a galaxy, the <u>galaxy rotation curves</u> (developed by the American astronomer Vera Rubin) are used. These graphs are elaborated as a scatter diagram in which the orbital velocity of the stars present in a galaxy is represented on the Y axis and the distance of these stars to the center of the galaxy on the X axis.

Thanks to this diagram, it has been possible to observe a characteristic behavior in the rotation speed of the stars (and gas) present in the galaxies, which differs from the rules of the orbital movement of the planetary systems postulated by Newton and Kepler.

This means that in these galaxy rotation curves it has been observed that the rotation speed of stars and gas is "constant", regardless of the distance to the center of the galaxy. This discrepancy and these results were then used to demonstrate the existence of dark matter in the universe.

Our understanding of the atom has changed over time. Which idea that was once accepted is now considered scientifically
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

B. An atom is a solid sphere

Explanation:

The idea that the atom was a solid sphere paved back to the first atomic model in the <em>19th century</em> theorized by <em>John Dalton</em>. According to him, an atom is <u>intact and hard and cannot be broken down or divided</u>.

However, many scientists continued to research and it was found that <em>the atom was not actually a solid sphere.</em> It was made up of<em> protons (positively-charged), electrons (negatively-charged) and neutrons (neutrally-charged). </em>This invalidated Dalton's solid sphere model.
