The Sun orbits the center of the Galaxy in 225 million years at a distance of 26,000 lightyears. Given that a^3 = (M1 +M2) x P^2

, where a is the semimajor axis in AU and P is the orbital period in years, what is the mass of the Galaxy within the Sun’s orbit?

According to Kepler third law the relation between orbital period and radio of matter in the Galaxy is given by

a^3 = (M_1+M_2)p^2

Where,

a = Radius of start orbit

p = Orbital Period

M = Total mass in a sphere of radius centered on galactic center

Our values are given as

a = 26000ly (\frac{9.461*10^{15}m}{1LY}) = 2.45*10^{20}m

p = 225million year = 225*10^6 year

Replacing we have,

M = \frac{2.45*10^{20}}{225*10^6}

M = 1.088*10^{12}M_{sun}

M = 108Billion M_{sun}

Therefore the mass of the galaxy within the sun's orbit is 108Billion the mass of the sun.

Write down two advantages of parallel combination ​
Simora [160]

Answer:

In parallel combination each appliance gets the full voltage.

If one appliance is switched on/of others are not affected.

The parallel circuit divide the current through the appliances.

In a parallel combination it is very easy to connect or disconnect a new appliance without affecting the working of other appliances.

Water is used to cool down automobile engines when they get hot. Why is water used as a coolant? A. Water is a good conductor. B
Mrac [35]

Water is usually used to cool down automobile engines when they get hot, yes. Therefore, that means water has a high heat capacity.

That makes the answer letter D you provided above.

D) Water has a high heat capacity.

Another example would be trying to put out a fire with a bucket of water. Usually, you can put out the fire debating on the size!

Imagine a system where a block rests on an inclined plane. The block is then given an initial push so that it starts sliding dow
Helen [10]

Answer:

statement - 'The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push' is correct.

Explanation:

The statement ''The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push" is correct.

The above statement is correct because, the initial push will tend to slide down the block thus the work done by the initial push will be in the downward direction. Also, the gravity always acts in the downward direction. thus, the work done done by the gravity will also be in the downward direction

here, the downward direction signifies the downward motion parallel to the inclined plane.

Now we know that the work done by the friction is against the direction of motion. Thus, the friction force will tend to move the block up parallel to the inclined plane.

Hence, for the block to stop sliding the the above statement should be true.

1. Which of the following statements best describes matter?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass

Explanation:

The word "matter" refers to anything that has mass, either organic or inorganic. Matter is made up of atoms, which consists of a nucleus (made up of protons, positively charged, and neutrons, electrically neutron) and electrons which revolve around the nucleus.

The number of protons in the atom determine the element: there are more than 100 different elements in nature, with different properties depending on the number of electrons they have.

Matter can be in three different states also:

- solid: the atoms are tightly bond to each other, so they cannot move

- liquids: atoms are not bond to each other, so they can slide past each other, but still they have some intermolecular forces that keep them close to each other

- gas: atoms are free to move, as there are no forces that keep them close to each other
