Concept explainers
Choose the best answer to each of the following. Explain your reasoning.
Where are most to the Milky Way’s globular clusters found? (a) in the disk (b) in the bulge (e) in the halo
The location where globular clusterin the Milky Way can be found.
Answer to Problem 1QQ
The option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Milky Way is the galaxy containing our solar system. It's faded and a hazy band of thick clouds with many stars embedded in it. It is a spiral galaxy. It contains few hundred of globular clusters.
Globular cluster is a group of closely located stars. Globular clusters are located near galactic core.The stars in the globular cluster are tightly bounded by gravity because of which their appearance is spherical.Globular clusters are found in the halo near the galactic center, Thus, option (c) is correct.

Assuming that the field of view is flat, what is the resultant vector (yellow line) of an observer pointing his telescope starting at the Andromeda galaxy, then moving 62 units 27° S of W to Jupiter, then finally moving to Saturn 17 units 72° S of W. Express your magnitude to the nearest hundredths units, and the angle to the nearest hundredths °, following the standard cartesian plane coordinate system.arrow_forwardState the definition for a parsec, and derive its value in terms of As- tronomical Units.

- 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. What is its final kinetic energy 10 seconds after starting from rest? 312 J 237 J 156 J 106 Jarrow_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_forwardFor 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.arrow_forward
