Infrared observations of the orbits of stars close to the galactic center indicate a small object at the center with a mass of a

bout how many solar masses?
Physics
1 answer:
MariettaO [177]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

(4.31±0.38) million Solar masses.

Explanation:

The galactic center is the center of the milky way around which the galaxy rotates. It is most likely the location of a supermassive black hole which has a mass of (4.31±0.38) million Solar masses. The location is called Sagittarius A*.

As there is interstellar dust in our line of sight from the Earth infrared observations need to be taken.

From part a, you know that surface temperature is a stellar property that we infer indirectly. What must we measure directly so
trasher [3.6K]

We need to directly measure the spectral type in order to determine the surface temperature of a star.

<h3>How do you find the properties of a star?</h3>

Astronomers can determine the temperature of a star by looking at its color and spectrum. The apparent brightness of a star describes how luminous it looks to us. The brightness of a star tells us how bright it really is. The luminance can be determined using both the perceived brightness and the distance.

A star's luminosity, or the total amount of energy it emits each second, is determined by two factors: The stellar photosphere's "Effective Temperature," T. the star's total surface area, which is influenced by its radius, R.

Because it controls how much fuel a star has and how quickly it burns it, a star's mass is its most fundamental characteristic. The majority of a star's life is spent burning hydrogen into helium in its core, which generates energy. The star needs to achieve a balance between gravity and outward pressure in order to continue to be "alive."

Some help me on this please
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Changes in the object's momentum (answer D)

Explanation:

A net force will cause an object to change its velocity, and that will affect the object's momentum, which is defined by the product of the object's mass times its velocity.

So, select the last option (D) in the given list.

An 8.50 m long ladder leans against the side of a building. The ladder is initially inclined at an angle of 47.0° to the horizon
erastova [34]

The angle of the ladder inclined with respect to the horizontal after being moved a distance of 0.82 m closer to the building is 53.84°

cos θ = Adjacent side / Hypotenuse

θ_{1} = 47°

Hypotenuse = Length of ladder = 8.5 m

cos 47° = Adjacent side / 8.5

Adjacent side = Initial distance of base of ladder from the building = 5.8 m

Adjacent side 2 = Final distance of base of ladder from the building

Adjacent side 2 = 5.8 - 0.82 = 4.98 m

cos θ_{2} = Adjacent side 2 / Hypotenuse

cos θ_{2} = 4.98 / 8.5 = 0.59

θ_{2} = cos^{-1} ( 0.59 )

θ_{2} = 53.84°

The formula used above is one of trigonometric ratios. Trigonometric ratios can used only in a right angled triangle where one of the angles in at 90 degrees and the other two angles are less than 90 degrees.

Therefore, the angle of the ladder inclined with respect to the horizontal after being moved is 53.84°
