Answer:

a. Disk, 28 thousand light-years from

Explanation:

Since, a galactic disc is a component of disc galaxies, for instance spiral galaxies and lenticular galaxies. It consists of a stellar component and a gaseous component.

Also, the Sun lies within the galactic disk or in other words it is thought to be located in the galactic disk,

The Sun is located about 26,000 light-years away from the centre of the galaxy.

∵ From the given options 28,000 is nearest to 26,000

Hence, the sun is about 28 thousand light-years from the centre of the galaxy.

i.e. OPTION 'a' would be correct.

The initial velocity of a 4.0kg box is 11m/s due west. After the box slides 4.0m horizontally its speed is 1.5 m/s. Determine th

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of the non conservative force acting on the box is <F= 59.36 N - DUE EAST DIRECTION>.

Explanation:

m= 4 kg

Vi= 11 m/s

Vf= 1.5 m/s

d= 4m

d= Vi * t - a * t²/2

clearing a:

a= 2*(Vi * t - d)/ t²

Vf= Vi - a * t

replacing "a" and clearing t:

t= 2d/(Vf+Vi)

t= 0.64 s

found now the value of a:

a= Vi - Vf / t

a= 14.84 m/s ²

F= m * a

F= 59.36 N

In an exciting game, a baseball player manages to safely slide into second base. The mass of the baseball player is 88.1 kg and

zlopas [31]

Answer:

$f=431.69\ N$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the player, $m=88.1\ kg$

coefficient of kinetic friction between the ground and the player, $\mu_k=0.5$

Since the normal reaction force on the player due to its mass will be equal to the weight of the player.

<u>We have the expression of kinetic friction as:</u>

$f=\mu_k.N$

here:

N = normal reaction force

$f=0.5\times (88.1\times 9.8)$

$f=431.69\ N$
