Concept explainers
Explain all answers clearly, using complete sentence and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.
Galactic Rotation. Our solar system is located about 27,000 light-years from the galactic centre and orbits the centre once every 230 million years. How fast are we travelling around the galaxy, in km/hr?

- 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.)arrow_forwardPlease show your complete solution and write your answer clearly and readable.

- I need urgent answers on the photo provided here pls. Thank you so much.arrow_forwardPlease 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. What is its final kinetic energy 10 seconds after starting from rest? 312 J 237 J 156 J 106 Jarrow_forwardState the definition for a parsec, and derive its value in terms of As- tronomical Units. Convert your answer for the value of the distance of a parsec in Astronomical Units into light years. Be sure to include a large and clearly labeled diagram showing how you arrived at your conclusions. Be sure to show all work!arrow_forward
