In our Solar System the mass is primarily at the center, so the orbital speed of the planets decreases with distance. In a galax

y the orbital speed remains the same at large distances. What does this tell us about the distribution of mass in a galaxy?

Answer:

Check Explanation.

Explanation:

In order to be able to answer this question effectively and efficiently we have to consider the Newton's law of Universal gravitation which is given by the mathematical representation below;

Gravitational force, F = G (m1 × m2) / r^2.

Where G = Gravitational constant, m1 and m2 and the masses of body one and two respectively and r = distance.

So, we can deduce that the mass(in form of kinetic energy) increase at large distance and this makes the speed to reduce.

What is the best description of the paths of S waves and P waves?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

S waves travel through solids or very dense, glassy liquids. P waves travel through solids, liquids, and gasses.

Explanation:

S-waves and P-waves are both body waves that moves through a substance. They are different from surface waves that moves on the surface. These surface waves are love and Rayleigh waves.

 The body P-waves and S-waves are often differentiated by the materials they propagate through. P-waves are primary waves and they pass through any earth materials. They can be propagated through solids, liquids and gases. This is because they are longitudinal waves.

S-waves are shear waves and they cannot pass through liquids and gases. These materials do no shear.
