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

inysia [295]

Answer:These smaller pieces of rock (such as sand, silt, or mud) can be deposited as sediments that, after hardening, or lithifying, become sedimentary rocks. Extreme pressure from burial, increasing temperature at depth, and a lot of time, can alter any rock type to form a metamorphic rock.
