explain each physics formula by saying what
each variable means/stands for and explain the
formula as a whole, please. Ignore the one
about proboblilty please.
Using MBH
=
6.6 × 10 Mo, calculate the below.
a. Find radius of the Schwarzschild sphere (Schwarzschild radius Rs). You
can calculated from the appropriate formula or just use the fact that for
an object of 1 solar mass Rs = 3 km.
b. Express Rs in km, in AU, in parsecs.
c. Using the distance to M87 and your result above, find angular radius of
the SMBH (Schwarzschild radius). Express it in arcseconds (") and micro-
arcseconds (pas)
d. Take the radius of Pluto's orbit equal to 40 AU and find its angular size
(in micro-arcseconds, pas) at the distance of M87.

- Based on what you learned about the source of stellar energy and how stars make energy, select all of the correct statements from the following list. 1. Many stars make energy with the proton-proton cycle. 2. The CNO cycle is more efficient than the proton-proton cycle. 3. The sun's energy comes from the CNO cycle.More massive stars make energy with the proton-proton cycle. 4. The leftover mass in both the proton-proton cycle and the CNO cycle is converted to energy. 5. A helium atom is more massive than four hydrogen atoms. 6. The CNO cycle requires a higher temperature than the proton-proton cycle.arrow_forwardAstronomers are always seeking to build bigger, more powerful telescopes, which will allow them to study faint galaxies that are very far away. Which of the following is the main reason they're so obsessed with studying very distant galaxies? Group of answer choices Light traveled much faster during the early history of the universe, so we can study how the speed of light has changed through time. Very distant galaxies are more likely to contain planets than the Milky Way is, so we have a better chance of detecting life in those galaxies than we do in our own galaxy. Since the light from these galaxies took so long to reach us, we're seeing them as they were when the universe was very young. Strangely, distant galaxies are more like our Milky Way than the Milky Way's `neighbor' galaxies are, and astronomers would like to figure out why this is.arrow_forwardFor each of the following parts, find the most possible type of object by considering the descriptions, and explain your answer.
