If we use 1 millimeter to represent 1 light-year, how large in diameter is the Milky Way Galaxy?

Physics

Answer:

d.100 meters

Explanation:

The diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years.

Here we are using 1 millimiter (1 mm) to represent 1 light-year (1 ly). So, we can set the following proportion:

1 mm : 1 ly = x : 100,000 ly

and by finding x, we find the diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy in the scale used:

x=\frac{(1mm )(100,000 ly)}{1 ly}=100,000 mm = 100 m

so the correct answer is

d. 100 meters

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

60ml

Explanation:

I'm going to assume you mean 210ml not centimeters. To find the volume all we do is subtract both values or with the formula [ f - i = v ]  where f = final amount and i = initial amount.

210 - 150 = 60ml

Best of Luck!

How did planck find the correct curve for the specturm of light emitted by a hot obkect?
Neko [114]

Planck find the correct curve for the specturm of light emitted by a hot object by vibrational energies of the atomic resonators were quantized.

<h3>Briefing :</h3>
  • The energy density of a black body between λ and λ + dλ is the energy E=hc/λ of a mode times the density of states for photons, times the probability that the mode is occupied. 
  • This is Planck's renowned equation for a black body's energy density.
  • According to this, electromagnetic radiation from heated bodies emits in discrete energy units or quanta, the size of which depends on a fundamental physical constant (Planck's constant). The basis of infrared imaging is the correlation between spectral emissivity, temperature, and radiant energy, which is made possible by Planck's equation.

kvasek [131]
From the Hooke's law , the extension force of an elastic material is directly proportional to the extension. 
That is, F = k e, where F is the force , k is the constant and e is the extension
 F = 10 × 10 = 100 N
e = 1mm or 0.001 m
Hence, k = F/e
                = 100 N/ 0.001
                = 100000 N/m or 100 N/mm
