Concept explainers
Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.
Research: Discovering the Milky Way. Humans have been looking at the Milky Way since bug before recorded history, but only in the past century did we verify the true shape of the galaxy and our location within it. Learn more about how conceptions of the Milky Way developed through history. What names did different cultures give to the band of light they saw? What stories did they tell about it? How have ideas about the galaxy changed in the past few centuries? Write a two- to three-page summary of your findings.

- Hello, part D was incorrect, and where does the six come from?? I confused on reading the grapharrow_forwardPlease show your solution and at the same time BOX the answers that corresponds to each blank on the question. Make sure to fill all the blanks. Thank you. STRICKLY FOLLOW THIS: Calculated Answers Express your answers without rounding off and without scientific notation unless instructed otherwise. Multiple Blanks Write powers or subscript as is. Ex: Use b2 if you mean b2 or b2 Spell out Greek letters. Ex: Use pi if you mean greek letter pi Write answers without spaces. Ex: Use 2epsilon0r3 if you mean 3e0r3 Write fractions with a slash. Ex: Use 1/2arrow_forwardPlease show your complete solution and write your answer clearly and readable. Thank you.arrow_forward
- See the screenshot uploaded. Answer in a step-by-step format, add diagrams, and detailed side notes for a better understanding Ps. Please answer on paper Thank you!arrow_forward1. What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of using points near the corners of aphoto for scale computations?2. Would you consider the aerial photo as a map substitute than a topo map? Why?3. Aside from using the topographic map, suggest other means of determining the scale of an aerialphoto. Cite your references if there are any.arrow_forwardAnswer in a step-by-step format, add diagrams, and detailed side notes for a better understanding. For a more clear response please answer on paper Thank you!arrow_forward
- What is the answer? Show your complete solution. Step-by-step. Provide the cases used. Simplify your final answer without the use of calculator.arrow_forwardPlease show the complete solution and write your answer clearly and readable.arrow_forwardONLY ANSWER 3 AND USE OTHER QUESTIONS FOR CONTEXT Suppose we have two sources of light, a deep red one with wavelength 700 nm, and a violet one with wavelength 400 nm. Both produce the same optical power, delivering 1 milliwatt (10−310−3 watts) of energy per second per square centimeter to a metal target with an area of 1cm2 located 1 meter from the sources. 1. Which color would deliver more photons each second? All the photoelectrons that are produced from the light are presumed to be collected by another electrode and we determine the current in amperes using a circuit and an "ammeter", that is, some device that can give a precise quantitative measure of the current. Such a device might use the magnetic field generated by the current, or the voltage produced when the current flows across a resistance. 2. If the work function of the surface is 2 eV, will we see a current with both colors, one color, or neither one? If so, how much (in amperes), or if not, explain. 3. If we now…arrow_forward
- Can you please provide a full and clear answer with neat handwriting with all steps included. Please do not skip any steps!! and please double check your work!! Please in a clear image so that I can see what is going on.arrow_forwardThink 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_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
