Recently, astronomers have observed stars and other objects that orbit the center of the Milky Way Galaxy farther out than our S
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

That scenario can be explained by the idea of the contribution of dark matter on that point.

Explanation:

It can be explained through the idea of dark matter, this one was born to explain why stars (or any object) that were farther for the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy didn't decrease it rotational velocity as it was expected according to equation 1.

v = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{r}}  (1)

Where v is the rotational velocity, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the supermassive black hole, and r is the orbital radius.

Notice, that If the distance increases the orbital speed decreases (inversely proportional).

Marcia flew her ultralight plane to a nearby town against a head wind of 15 km/h in 2h 20 min. the return trip under the same wi
insens350 [35]

Let the distance between the towns be d and the speed of the air be s.

distance = speed * time

convert the minutes time into hours.

When flying into the wind, ground speed will be air speed MINUS wind speed, hence the against the wind trip is described by:

d

s−15

=

7

3

return trip is then :

d

s+15

=

7

5

Cross-multiplying both we get the two-variable system:

3d=7∗(s−15)5d=7∗(s+15)

3d=7s−1055d=7s+105

subtract first equation from second equation we get

2d=210d=105km

Substitute the value of d in the above equations for s.

5∗105=7s+1057s=420s=60km/hr

Which is likely to be more common in our Galaxy: white dwarfs or black holes? Why?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

White dwarfs are likely to be much more common. The number of stars decreases with increasing mass, and only the most massive stars are likely to complete their lives as black holes. There are many more stars of the masses appropriate for evolution to a white dwarf.
