The Sun is orbiting around the entire galaxy such that it completes a full orbit once every 2 × 10 8 years. Using careful measur

ements of phenomena known as masers, we have acurately measured the distance to the center of the galaxy to be approximately 8 kpc (kiloparsecs). This is enough information to calculate our orbital speed. (Assume that the path the Sun takes is a circle which has a circumference of C = 2 ? R .) Report your answer in kilometers per second.

Answer:

245.75 km/sec

Explanation:

We have given distance as 8 kilo parsec

We know that 1\ kilo\ parsec=3.086\times 10^{16}km

So 8 kilo parsec =8×3.086×10^{16} km=2.469×10^{17} km

We know that circumference = 2×Π×R

So circumference =2×3.14×2.469×10^{17} = 15.50×10^{17} km

We know that speed =\frac{distance}{time}

We have given time =2×10^8 year

=210^8×365×24×60×60 sec

So speed=\frac{15.5\times 10^{17}}{6.30\times 10^{15}}=245.75\ km/sec

Why are environmental issues a major concern for the people of Sub-Saharan Africa? Almost all of their food is imported. Their l
xz_007 [3.2K]
The correct answer is - Their livelihoods are derived from the land.

People in Sub-Saharan Africa are predominantly working in agriculture. They produce most of their food, so their well being is heavily influenced by what they can produce. When an environmental issue occurs, it causes lots of problems, but most importantly hunger. They are producing vegetables, crops and fruits in a primitive manner, are not financially capable to protect their plants, so any major environmental issue is a catastrophe for them. <span />
