Because of interstellar dust, astronomers can see at most about 5 kpc into the disk of the galaxy at visual wavelengths. What pe

rcentage of the galactic disk does that include? (Hint: Consider the area of the entire disk versus the area visible from Earth. The diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 25 kpc.)

Answer:

96%

Explanation

Let A the total area of the galaxy, is modeled as a disc:

A = πR^2 = π (25 kpc)^2

And let a be the area that astronomers are able to see:

a = πr^2 = π(5 kpc)^2

The percentage that can be seen is equal to 100 times the ratio of the areas, of the galaxy and the "visible" part:

P = 100 a/A = (5/25)^2 = 100/25 = 4%

Therefore, the percentage of the galaxy not included, i.e. not seen is:

(100-4)% = 96%

ipn [44]

Answer:

Follows are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

The rectangular part has a length of 14 \ mm and its rectangular part has a width of 4.98 \ mm.

In option A

Calculating the area of the rectangular throgh the given piece:

\to A_R = WL=(14 mm) (4.98 mm) =69.72 \ mm^2

In option B

Calculating the ratio of rectangle's width which is rectangle's length:

\to R_{WL}=\frac{W}{L}= \frac{4.98 \ mm}{14 \ mm} = 0.3557

So, the ratio of rectangle's width to rectangle's length is 0.3557  .

In option C

Calculating the Perimeter of the rectangle:

\to  P_R=2(W+L)=2(14 \ mm+ 4.98 \ mm)= 2(18.98) = 37.96 \ mm  

In option D

Calculating the difference between length and width:  

\to D_{LW} = L- W = 14\  mm -4.98 \ mm =9.02 \ mm

In option E

Calculating the ratio of length to width:

\to R_{LW}=\frac{L}{W} =\frac{14\ mm}{4.98 \ mm} = 2.811
