The milky way Galaxy is our own Galaxy in which our planet earth along with other planets and the Sun comprising the Solar system, exists.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Milky way Galaxy is the boundless galaxy which seems to end where the cloudy mixture of star do not seem to appear anymore, but do not have a sharp margin of boundary anywhere round.

It has stars, gases, and countless dust particles which makes up the galaxy look cloudy and milky and so has been named. It is largely barred spiral galaxy and look like milky light bands form when we see in the dark region.

You hold a small metal ball of mass a height above the floor. You let go, and the ball falls to the floor. Choose the origin of

baherus [9]

Answer:

yᵢ = h

vᵢᵧ = 0

Explanation:

Let initial velocity = u

final velocity = v

height = h

acceleration due to gravity = g

Therefore fro equation of motion,

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2gh$

Here initial velocity is zero.

Hence, $v^{2}=2gh$

$v = \sqrt{2gh}$

but since it points downward and you positive is taken in the up direction

$v = -\sqrt{2gh}$

Why do you think sound travels faster in steel than it does in wood? (Hint: Think about the densities of the two materials, and

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

If sound waves of the same energy were passed through a block of wood and a block of steel, which is more dense than the wood, the molecules of the steel would vibrate at a slower rate. Sound moves faster through denser air because the molecules are closer together in dense air and sound can be more easily passed on.

Light with a wavelength of λ = 689 nm. is incident on a single slit of width w = 3.75 micrometers. A screen is located L = 0.65

rodikova [14]

Answer:

119.42 x 10⁻³ m

Explanation:

The distance of first dark fringe from central bright spot will be equal to the width of fringe .

Fringe width = λL /w

where λ is wavelength of light, w is slit width , L is distance of screen .

So required distance

= $\frac{689\times10^{-9}\times0.65}{3.75\times10^{-6}}$

= 119.42 x 10⁻³ m
