Answer:

12 (Magnesium- Mg)

Explanation:

Looking at the four numbers, we have:

Magnesium, Silicon, Sulfur, and Chlorine.

We can eliminate two of the answers immediately just by looking at the periodic table.

Sulfur and Chlorine are on the nonmetal side of the periodic table. So that's definitely not it. That leaves Magnesium and Silicon.

Silicon is a Metalloid. Magnesium is an Alkaline earth Metal.

Metaloids are elements that have a mix of both metal and nonmetal properties (luster, how it feels, etc.). Since it's a MIX and Magnesium is just straight METAL-

We can say Magnesium has the most metallic properties.

hope this helps!!

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 $3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg$
