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%

bearhunter [10]
The initial temperature of the bar is 25. To get to the t temperature you need to add (t-25) degrees Celsius.

for 1 degree................... 7 Joules
      y given degree........  p Joules

p=7y

In our case y=(t-25) .

h(t) = 7(t-25) which is the final answer.

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Max height= 36000 meters

Total Time = 120 seconds

Explanation:

0 = U - at

U = at

U= 20*60

U= 1200 m/s

MAX altitude would be

(U²Sin²tita)/2g

Max height= 1200² *( SIN90)²/(2*20)

Time of FLIGHT

2 * 1200/20

2400/20

120 sec onds
