Spiral galaxy rotation curves are generally fairly flat out to large distances. Suppose that spiral galaxies did not contain dar

k matter. How would their rotation curves be different?(A) The orbital speeds would fall off sharply with increasing distance from the galactic center.(B) The rotation curve would be a straight, upward sloping diagonal line, like the rotation curve of a merry-go-round.(C) The orbital speeds would rise upward with increasing distance from the galactic center, rather than remaining approximately constant.(D) The rotation curve would look the same with or without the presence of dark matter.

Answer:

A) The orbital speeds would fall off sharply with increasing distance from the galactic center.

Explanation:

The plot of radial distance versus the orbital speed of objects gives us the galaxy rotation curve. The theoretical and practical curves have significant difference. A possible explanation of this difference could be the existence of dark matter.

According to the theoretical calculations the curve should increase sharply and then decrease as the radial distance increases. The theoretical graph does not take dark matter into account. But the plot made by observations shows the plot increasing first then becoming constant as the radial distance increases.

Consider a system to be two train cars traveling toward each other. What is the total momentum of the system before the train ca
Brut [27]

Let say the two train cars are of masses m_1 and m_2

now if the speed of two cars are v_1 and v_2

then we can say that the momentum of two cars before they collide is given by

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

here two cars are moving in opposite direction so we can say that the net momentum is subtraction of two cars momentum.

Now since in these two car motion there is no external force on them while they collide

So the momentum of two cars are always conserved.

hence we can say that the final momentum of two cars will be same after collision as it is before collision

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

Answer:

decline

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that these types of firms are in the decline stage of the product life cycle. This stage refers to when a product has already passed it's peak potential and sales begin to decline until production is ultimately halted and the product dies off. Which is exactly what is happening to the LP's since everyone has moved on to digital downloads.
