<h2>Answer: dark matter</h2>

It is believed that the Milky Way has 90% dark matter and only 10% ordinary matter (known matter). Because, like gravity, <u>dark matter can not be observed directly</u>, however its existence is inferred through the movement of the stars and the cosmic dust within the galaxy.

It is important to note that dark matter composition is unknown and corresponds to 80% of the matter in the universe. It does not emit or interact with any type of electromagnetic radiation, but it interacts with the known matter through gravity.

When a red giant completes helium fusion and collapses, it becomes a ______.

Firdavs [7]

<span>When a red giang complete helium fusion and collapses, it becomes a white dwarf. The correct option is C. White dwarf are very dense stars that are usually the size of a planet. It is a stellar core reminant which mainly made up of electron degenerated matters; its mass is comparable to that of the sun while its volume is comparable to that of the earth. </span>

Astronomers can now report that active star formation was going on at a time when the universe was only 20% as old as it is toda

disa [49]

Answer:

First, as you may know, the light travels at a given velocity.

In vaccum, this velocity is c = 3x10^8 m/s.

And we know that:

distance = velocity*time

Now, if some object (like a star ) is really far away, the light that comes from that star may take years to reach the Earth.

This means that the images that the astronomers see today, actually happened years and years ago (So the night sky is like a picture of the "past" of the universe)

Also, for example, if an astronomer sees some particular thing, he can apply a model (a "simplification" of some phenomena that is used to simplify it an explain it) and with the model, the scientist can infer the information of the given thing some time before it was seen.

You have two windlasses (winches) named X and Y. Windlass X drum diameter is 50cm and windlass Y drum diameter is 75cm. Both are

Blababa [14]

You have two windlasses named X and Y. Windlass X drum diameter is 50cm and windlass Y drum diameter is 75cm. Both are hoisting a 50kg weight, Hence, X will lift faster and easier than Y

<h3>What is windlasses (winches) will lift faster?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the Torque is mathematically given as

Torque(X)=weight x radius of drum

T=50x9.81x0.25

T=122.625 Nm

For, Torque (Y)

T=50x9.81x0.375

T=183.93 Nm

Generally, the equation for the Equation of Power is mathematically given as

P= Torque * Angular velocity

Angular velocity (w)= 2 x pi x N/60

As a consequence, torque has an inverse relationship to speed. Because of this, the torque will decrease as the speed rises.

According to the previous statement, windlass X has a speed of lift that is at its maximum, but windlass Y has a speed that is very low.

Additionally, power is exactly proportional to torque, which means that the highest possible torque required the highest possible amount of energy and vice versa.

Therefore, X should raise at the highest possible speed while using the least amount of energy.

In conclusion, X will lift faster and easier than Y
