Answer:

The Milky Way is about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 km (about 100,000 light years or about 30 kpc) across. The Sun does not lie near the center of our Galaxy. It lies about 8 kpc from the center on what is known as the Orion Arm of the Milky Way.

show that if a particle is in a stationary state at a given time it will always remain in a stationary state.
Lena [83]

That statement is impossible to show, demonstrate, or prove.

A big part of the reason for the inability to show it is that the statement is ... prima facie, pro bono, and habeus corpus ... wrong, and as false as the day is long.

Although I am certainly far from what you might call a 'particle', I think I can show, using myself, that the statement is false:

As we speak, I am sitting, <u><em>in a stationary state</em></u>, before my computer.  It is my intention, and I fully believe it will come to pass, that in a few seconds, my fingers may move to operate one of the letter keys, or my hand may reach out to snag my coffee cup, or my entire being may arise from my place and go into the kitchen for a bowl of oatmeal.  At the INSTANT that any of these events takes place, the statement will have been proven false.

Why would scientist use both relative and absolute dating
Gemiola [76]
Well, relative dating is the science determining the relative order of past events like the age of an object compared to another object without determining the absolute age. The absolute age is the process of determining an age on a specific chronology in archeology and geology. Some scientists prefer the terms chromatic or calendar dating, as the word absolute implies an unwarranted certainty or accuracy. Hope I helped

Which of the following is inversely proportional to the gravitational force between two masses?
Mrrafil [7]
It is D, the distance between each object squared. We get this from solving for the force of gravity, which is

F = G((m1*m2)/(r^2)).

Here, you can see that the masses of the two objects are divided by their total distance apart from each other (r) squared.
