The diameter of our disk-shaped galaxy, the Milky Way, is about 1.0 x 10^5 light-years (ly). The distance to the Andromeda galax

y, which is the spiral galaxy nearest to the Milky Way, is about 2.0 million ly. If a scale model represents the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies as dinner plates 25 cm in diameter, determine the distance between the centers of the two plates.

Answer:

500 cm

Explanation:

Diameter of Milky Way = 1\times 10^5\ ly

Here, this distance is equal = 25 cm

1\times 10^5\ ly=25\ cm

\\\Rightarrow 1\ cm=\frac{1}{25}\times 10^5\ ly\\\Rightarrow 1\ cm=0.04\times 10^5\ ly\\\Rightarrow 1\ ly=\frac{1}{0.04\times 10^5}\ cm

Distance between the Andromeda galaxy and Milky Way is 2 million ly

2\times 10^6\ ly=2\times 10^6\times \frac{1}{0.04\times 10^5}\\\Rightarrow 2\times 10^6\ ly=500\ cm

Hence, the plates would be 500 cm apart

Describe the friction of smooth surfaces
cluponka [151]

When two surfaces slide against each other, a force called friction makes them stick very slightly together. Smooth surfaces, like ice and glass, are easy to slide over. They create very little friction. Rough surfaces like rock and sand create much more friction, and are easy to grip on to.

hope it helps...!!!
