PLEASE be clear in your answer since the last time I posted was incorrect, and only answer part b, thanks.
For the graph shown above, a) what quantity would you label the y-axis with if the distance is between galaxies and the Earth? Explain your answer. Think through what we know is happening, motion-wise, out there in the galaxy. b) Also explain why you think there are dots and a solid line, on the graph.
State 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!

- See the screenshot uploaded. Answer 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_forwardHello, part D was incorrect, and where does the six come from?? I confused on reading the grapharrow_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_forward

Express your magnitude to the nearest hundredths units, and the angle to the nearest hundredths °, following the standard cartesian plane coordinate system.arrow_forward
- Please answer using the variables provided and show explanations and work spaced out. I cannot understand when its all typed together. Please circle final answers for each of the three parts.arrow_forwardPlease provide steps for how you got the solution to the problem provided below, I am trying to understand the problem, not just see an answer. Thank you so much. A space ship warp engine has enough energy to perform two warp jumps going between star systems (i.e., the warp battery has 2 units of charge). The ship can operate in two modes: survey the current system or charge battery. On a given day the ship will complete the survey of the current system with probability 0.24. Then, if battery has capacity, it will move to a new system, consuming 1 unit of charge. If the battery is empty, the ship will switch to the charging mode. In the charging mode, the ship will recover 1 unit of charge on a given day with probability 0.95. The ship will stay in the charging mode until the battery is full. Model the behavior of the ship as a Markov chain.arrow_forwardPlease show the complete solution and write your answer clearly and readable.arrow_forward
- Please help me with all the parts, and double and triple check your answers, previous tutors got it wrong there are 2 parts attached as 2 screenshotsarrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image formate thanku Q: You’ve just discovered another new X-ray binary, which we will call Hyp-X2 (“Hyp” for hypothetical). The system Hyp-X2 contains a bright, G2 main-sequence star orbiting an unseen companion. The separation of the stars is estimated to be 12 million kilometers, and the orbital period of the visible star is 5 days. Use Newton’s version of Kepler’s third law to calculate the sum of the masses of the two stars in the system. a)Express your answer in kilograms to two significant figures. b) Give your answer from the previous part in solar masses. ( Msun= 2.0 x 10 /30 kg). Express your answer as a multiple of sun’s mass to two significant figures. C) Determine the mass of the unseen companion. ( Hint: A G2 main-sequence star has a mass of 1 Msun.) Express your answer as a multiple of sun’s mass to two significant figures. The previous answer was not correct, please help mearrow_forwardCan I get this made into a line graph, please? And explain the process of creation is struggling with every editor I use.arrow_forward
