How did harlow shapley conclude that the sun was not in the center of the milky way galaxy?

timurjin [86]

We learned that We are in the disk of the Galaxy, about 5/8 of the way from the center.

<h3>What is the work of Harlow Shapley?</h3>

Shapley, who was headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, used Cepheid variable stars to estimate the size of the Milky Way Galaxy and its position relative to the Sun. In 1953, he published his "liquid water belt" theory, today known as the concept of a livable zone.

There are many stars, grains of dust, and gas in the Milky Way. It is known as a spiral galaxy because, from the top or bottom, it would appear to be whirling like a pinwheel. About 25,000 light-years from the galaxy's nucleus, the Sun is situated on one of the spiral arms.

Approximately 5/8 of the way from the galaxy's nucleus, we are in the disc. William Herschel believed that the Sun and Earth were about in the middle of the vast cluster of stars known as the Milky Way.

A red cross helicopter takes off from headquarters and flies 120 km at 70 degrees south of west. There it drops off some relief

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

130 km at 35.38 degrees north of east

Explanation:

Suppose the HQ is at the origin (x = 0, y = 0)

So the coordinates of the helicopter after the 1st flight is

$x_1 = -120cos70^o = -41.04 km$

$y_1 = -120sin70^o = -112.763 km$

After the 2nd flight its coordinate would be:

$x_2 = x_1 - 75sin60^o = -41.04 - 64.95 = -106km$

$y_2 = y_1 + 75cos60^o = -112.763 + 37.5 = -75.263 km$

So in order to fly back to its HQ it must fly a distance and direction of

$s = \sqrt{y_2^2 + x_2^2} = \sqrt{75.263^2 + 106^2} = \sqrt{5664.519169 + 11236} = \sqrt{16900.519169} = 130 km$

$tan\theta = \frac{y_2}{x_2} = \frac{75.263}{106} = 0.71$

$\theta = tan^{-1}0.71 = 0.62 rad \approx 35.38^o$ north of east

A constant magnetic field passes through a single rectangular loop whose dimensions are 0.35 m × 0.55 m. The magnetic field has

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Part a)

$EMF = 0.38 V$

Part b)

$\frac{dA}{dt} = 0.43 m^2/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

Initial value of magnetic flux is given as

$\phi_1 = BAcos\theta$

$\phi_1 = (2.1)(0.35 \times 0.55) cos65$

so we have

$\phi_1 = 0.17 Wb$

Final flux through the loop is given as

$\phi_2 = 0$

now EMF is given as

$EMF = \frac{\phi_1 - \phi_2}{\Delta t}$

$EMF = \frac{0.17 - 0}{0.45}$

$EMF = 0.38 V$

Part b)

If magnetic field is constant while Area is changing

So EMF is given as

$E = Bcos65 \times \frac{dA}{dt}$

$0.38 = 2.1 cos65(\frac{dA}{dt})$

$\frac{dA}{dt} = 0.43 m^2/s$

What is beach nourishment

guajiro [1.7K]

Beach nourishment describes a process by which sediment, usually sand, lost through longshore drift or erosion is replaced from other sources. A wider beach can reduce storm damage to coastal structures by dissipating energy across the surf zone, protecting upland structures and infrastructure from storm surges, tsunamis and unusually high tides
