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 net horizontal force on a car is 981 N. The car has a mass of 1550 kg and the force is applied when the car has a speed of 2

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Distance, d = 778.05 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the car, F = 981 N

Mass of the car, m = 1550 kg

Initial speed of the car, v = 25 mi/h = 11.17 m/s

We need to find the distance covered by car if the force continues to be applied to the car. Firstly, lets find the acceleration of the car:

$F=ma\\\\a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{981}{1550}\\\\a=0.632\ m/s^2$

Let d is the distance covered by car. Using second equation of motion as :

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=11.17\times 35+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.632\times (35)^2\\\\d=778.05\ m$

So, the car will cover a distance of 778.05 meters.

Answer:

F = 1500 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of all forces must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

F = 1000*1.5

F = 1500 [N]
