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.

Write the physics equation for this graph in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), expressed in terms of the appropriate variables.

alexgriva [62]

The equation that describes the graph is y = 16.7x + 150.

<h3>What is the equation?</h3>

We have been given the graph of a certain function data set in physics. We know that the graph is the representation of data on cartesian coordinates. In this case, we are asked to find the equation of the graph in the form; y=mx+b

m = slope of the graph

b = intercept of the graph.

To obtain the slope;

m = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1

m = 400 - 200/ 16 - 4

m = 200/ 12

m = 16.7

Then we can see from the graph that the y - intercept is 150. Having these data, the equation that could describe the graph is now;

y = 16.7x + 150

Any force that causes an object to move in a circle is called a(n)

Vaselesa [24]

A). balanced force
b). unbalanced force
There's no such thing as either of these. A group of two or more forces can be balanced or unbalanced. A single force can't be.

c). gravitational force ... doesn't cause an object to move in a circle;
   Drop a stone from the roof of a tall building and watch it fall.
   It goes straight down, not in a circle.

d). centripetal force ... force directed toward the center of a circle,
   causes an object to move in a circle.

What creates the solar wind?

UNO [17]

Answer:

The solar wind is created by the outward expansion of plasma (a collection of charged particles) from the Sun's corona (outermost atmosphere). This plasma is continually heated to the point that the Sun's gravity can't hold it down. It then travels along the Sun's magnetic field lines that extend radially outward.
