The solar system is 25,000 light years from the center of our Milky Way galaxy. One light year is the distance light travels in

one year at a speed of 3.0×108m/s. Astronomers have determined that the solar system is orbiting the center of the galaxy at a speed of 230 km/s.

Answer:

The time period of the solar system's orbit is 2.05\times10^{8}\ year

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 25000 light year

Speed of light c=3\times10^{8}\ m/s

Speed of astronomers = 230 m/s

Suppose the orbit is circular, we need to find the time period of the solar system's orbit.

We need to calculate the time period

Using formula of time period

t = \dfrac{d}{v}

t = \dfrac{2\pi r}{v}

r = distance

t = time

v = speed

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{2\pi\times25000\times9.46\times10^{15}}{230\times10^{3}}

t=6.460\times10^{15}\ sec

Time in years

t=\dfrac{6.460\times10^{15}}{3.15\times10^{7}}

t=2.05\times10^{8}\ year

Hence, The time period of the solar system's orbit is 2.05\times10^{8}\ year

A crate is dragged up a ramp at constant speed. The work done on the system can be accounted for by:
Alex

Answer:

The work done on the system can be accounted for by;

Both E_g and E_{int}

Explanation:

The speed of the crate = Constant

Therefore, the acceleration of the crate = 0 m/s²

The net force applied to the crate, F_{NET} = 0

Therefore, the force of with which the crate is pulled = The force resisting the upward motion of the crate

However, we have;

The force resisting the upward motion of the crate = The weight of the crate + The frictional resistance of the ramp due to the surface contact between the ramp and the crate

The work done on the system = The energy to balance the resisting force = The weight of the crate × The height the crate is raised + The heat generated as internal energy to the system

The weight of the crate × The height the crate is raised = Gravitational Potential Energy = E_g

The heat generated as internal energy to the system = E_{int}

Therefore;

The work done on the system = E_g + E_{int}.

Is a neutron star also a black hole?
coldgirl [10]

No.  A neutron star is the weird remains of a star that blew its outer layers off
in a nova event, and then had enough mass left so that gravity crushed its
electrons into its protons, and then what was left of it shrank down to a sphere
of unimaginably dense neutron soup.  But it didn't have enough mass to go
any farther than that.

A black hole is the remains of a star that had enough mass to go even farther
than that.  No force in the universe was able to stop it from contracting, so it
kept contracting until its mass occupied no volume ... zero.  It became even
more weird, and is composed of a substance that we don't know anything about
and can't describe, and occupies zero volume.

Contrary to popular fairy tales, a black hole doesn't reach out and "suck things in".
It's just so small (zero) that things can get very close to it.  You know that gravity
gets stronger as you get closer to an object, so if the object has no size at all, you
can get really really close to it, and THAT's where the gravity gets really strong.
You may weigh, let's say, 100 pounds on the Earth.  But you're like 4,000 miles
from the center of the Earth.  What if all of the earth's mass was crammed into
the size of a bean.  Then you could get 1 inch from it, and at that distance from
the mass of the Earth, you would weigh 25,344,000,000 pounds. 
But Earth's mass is not enough to make a black hole.  That takes a minimum
of about 3 times the mass of the sun, which is right about 1 million times the
Earth's mass.   THEN you can get a lightweight black hole.
Do you see how it works now ?

I know.  It all seems too fantastic to be true. 
It sure does.

The mertric unit of electrical power is the _____. A. watt B.volt C.ampere D.ohm
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

A - Watt

Explanation:

Watt is the unit of electrical power in a metric system, expressed in terms of energy per second, equal to the work done at a rate of 1 joule per second is

power formula is P = V × I,

                                              where V is the voltage in a circuit

                                                      I is the current flowing through that circuit.

In the SI (metric) system, the units of power are watts.
