Astronomers have observed a small, massive object at the center of our Milky Way galaxy (see Section 13.8). A ring of material o

rbits this massive object; the ring has a diameter of about 15 light-years and an orbital speed of about 200 km>s. (a) Determine the mass of the object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Give your answer both in kilograms and in solar masses (one solar mass is the mass of the sun).

Answer:

4.26*10^37kg

2.14*10^7 solar mass

Explanation:

To solve this question, let us assume that the ring shaped accretion disk around the galaxy center's black hole is circular. This would permit us to use the circular orbit equation.

To find the mass of the disk, we use the formula

V = √(Gm/r)

2*10^5 = √[6.67*10^-11 * m / (7.5 * 9.461*10^15)]

(2*10^5)² = 6.67*10^-11 * m / 7.096*10^16

4*10^10 * 7.096*10^16 = 6.67*10^-11 * m

m = 2.838*10^27/6.67*10^-11

m = 4.26*10^37kg

To get the mass in solar mass, we divide by mass of the sun(as instructed)

m = 4.26*10^37/1.99*10^30

m = 2.14 * 10^7 solar mass

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the volume of a gas and its temperature, in Kelvin, assuming pressu
nekit [7.7K]

The relationship is directly proportional; as temperature increases, volume increases in the same way.

Charles's law states that at a constant pressure, the volume of fixed a mass of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature or kelvin temperature.

Mathematically, this law can be written as follows;

V = kT\\\\where;\\k \ \ is \ a \ constant \\\\T \ is \ kelvin \ temperature\\\\V \ is \ the \ volume \ of \ the \ gas

This law explains the direct relationship between Volume of the gas and its Kelvin temperature. That is, as Temperature increases, the volume of the gas increases.

Thus, the correct statement is "The relationship is directly proportional; as temperature increases, volume increases in the same way".

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

3°C

Explanation:

We can that heat Q=mc_p dT

Where m is the mass c_p = specific heat capacity

dT = Temperature difference

here we have given m=625 g =.625 kg

specific heat of granite =0.79 J/(g-K) = 0.79 KJ/(kg-k)

T_1 =25°C

T_2 we have to find

we have also given Q=10.9 KJ

10.9=0.625×0.79×(25-T_2)

25-T_2 =22

T_2=3°C
