Hello, part D was incorrect, and where does the six come from?? I confused on reading the graph
Think of our Milky Way Galaxy as a flat circular disk of diameter 100,000 light-years. Suppose we are one of 1000 civilizations, randomly distributed through the disk, interested in communicating via radio waves. How far away in light years would the nearest such civilization be from us on average? Show your working. (Hint: Begin by calculating the area of the disk. Find the area of one of a 1,000 squares. Consider the separation of the centres of two adjacent squares.)

- Please answer the question and its subquestions entirely! This is one question with two subquestions. According to the official Bartleby guidelines, I am alowed to have up to two subquestion! 1) When an ice-skater spins and increases her rotation rate by pulling her arms and leg in, what happens to her kinetic energy? It stays the same. It increases. It decreases. a) A 0.400 kg mass, sitting on a horizontal frictionless surface, is attached to the end of a 0.750 m string. It is whirled around in a circular horizontal path. If the maximum tension that the string can withstand is 450 N, then what maximum velocity can the mass have if the string is not to break? 375 m/s 22.4 m/s 19.4 m/s 29.0 m/s b) A grinding wheel with a moment of inertia of 2 kg-m 2 has a 2.50 N-m torque applied to it.
