During a total solar eclipse, the moon passes between Earth and the sun. This completely blocks out the sun’s light. However, the moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun. How can it block all of that light?

What type of galaxy is M82 based on its appearance in the visible-light view?
SSSSS [86.1K]
<h2>Answer: irregular</h2>

According to Hubble  galaxies are classified into elliptical, spiral and irregular.

 

It should be noted this classification is based only on the visual appearance of the galaxy, and does not take into account other aspects, such as the rate of star formation or the activity of the galactic nucleus.  

The classification is as follows:  

1. Elliptical galaxies: Their main characteristic is that the concentration of stars decreases from the nucleus, which is small and very bright, towards its edges. In addition, they contain a large population of old stars, usually little gas and dust, and some newly formed stars.  

2. Spiral galaxies: They have the shape of flattened disks containing some old stars and also a large population of young stars, enough gas and dust, and molecular clouds that are the birthplace of the stars.  

3. Irregular Galaxies:  Galaxies that do not have well-defined structure and symmetry.  

In this context, galaxy M82 does not match with the first two types of galaxies, because it has not a defined shape.

Therefore, M82 is an  irregular galaxy.

How much equal charge should be placed on the earth and the moon so that the electrical repulsion balances the gravitational for
kumpel [21]

As we know that electrostatic force between two charges is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

here we know that electrostatic repulsion force is balanced by the gravitational force between them

so here force of attraction due to gravitation is given as

F_g = 1.98 \times 10^{20} N

here we can assume that both will have equal charge of magnitude "q"

now we have

1.98 \times 10^{20} = \frac{kq^2}{r^2}

1.98 \times 10^{20} = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(q^2)}{(3.84 \times 10^8)^2}

1.98 \times 10^{20} = (6.10 \times 10^{-8}) q^2

now we have

q = 5.7 \times 10^{13} C
