Physics
1 answer:
Stells [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

About 8 kpc

Explanation:

The milky way galaxy is the galaxy we live in. Its composed of the solar system, billion stars, gas, dust and dark matter.

At its center it contains a super massive black hole called Sagittarius. This object is millions of times as massive as the sun.

The sun is about 8 kpc to the center of the milky way galaxy, this is about 26,000 light years away.

1000 parsecs distance is approximately 3262 light years.

A light year is the distance light can travel in a period of 1 year.

Can an object in motion ever change directions?
choli [55]

Answer:

Forces affect how objects move. They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity.

A ball is dropped from some height. It bounces off the floor and rebounds with a speed that is one-half the speed it had just be
Arada [10]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

According to third equation of motion, v

2

=u

2

+2ax

Here, u=0 m/s

a=−g and x=−h

Negative sign indicates downward direction. Displacement and acceleration both are downwards.

So,v=±

2(−g)(−h)

​

We take minus sign because it is downwards.

v=−

2gh

​

After bouncing. velocity becomes 80% of v, i.e.,

v

′

=+0.8

2gh

​

 

(positive sign because the direction of ball has reversed after bouncing and is upwards.

Applying third equation of motion again, for u=v

′

, v=0 and a=−g

v

2

=u

2

+2×a×x

Thus,

0=0.64(2gh)+2(−g)x

or

x=0.64h

What are the negative impacts on Genetically Modified Crops?
grigory [225]
Biodiversity Loss: The use of some GM crops can have negative impacts on non-target organisms and on soil and water ecosystems. For example, the expansion of GM herbicide-tolerant corn and soy, which are twinned with herbicides, has destroyed much of the habitat of the monarch butterfly in North America.
