Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are different from sound or water waves in such a way that water and sound waves are called mechanical waves that requires a material medium for their propagation.

Electromagnetic waves do no require a material medium for propagation.

Electromagnetic waves are carried or transported by radiation and this can be passed through vacuums and different other materials.
But mechanical waves such as water and sound waves requires a material medium for their propagation.
They cannot pass through a vacuum.

Astronomers have observed a small, massive object at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. A ring of material orbits this massive

Setler [38]

Answer:

The mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is $3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg$

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 10 light year

Orbital speed = 180 km/s

Suppose determine the mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

Take the distance of one light year to be 9.461×10¹⁵ m. I was able to get this it is 4.26×10³⁷ kg.

We need to calculate the radius of the orbit

Using formula of radius

$r=\dfrac{d}{2}$

$r=\dfrac{15\times9.461\times10^{15}}{2}$

$r=7.09\times10^{16}\ m$

We need to calculate the mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy

Using formula of mass

$M=\dfrac{v^2r}{G}$

Put the value into the formula

$M=\dfrac{(180\times10^3)^2\times7.09\times10^{16}}{6.67\times10^{-11}}$

$M=3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg$

Hence, The mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is $3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg$
