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

What are some of the concerns for a “no deal” Brexit?
Vsevolod [243]

Attempting to persuade MPs, Mr Johnson said the deal allowed the UK to leave the EU bloc "whole and entire" and that it protected the Irish peace process.

"I hope very much now... that my fellow MPs in Westminster do now come together to get Brexit done, to get this excellent deal over the line and deliver Brexit without any more delay," he said.

MPs will debate and vote on whether to accept the deal on Saturday, during a special sitting in the House of Commons. Opposition leaders have indicated they will not throw their weight behind it without a second referendum on Brexit.

If the deal is rejected, attention will turn to whether Mr Johnson will ask the EU for a Brexit delay, as he is compelled to do under legislation. The Benn Act blocks Britain leaving the EU without a deal on 31 October but Mr Johnson seems intent on exiting on that date, deal or no deal.

On Thursday President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker ruled out an extension, saying: "If we have a deal, we have a deal and there is not need for prolongation."
