A: It is a quasar.

B: It orbits our sun.

C: It is 26,000 light-years away from earth.

D: It is set to subsume the earth in 100,000 years.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It orbits our sun is the correct answer

Answer 2

Sagittarius A* is 26,000 light-years away from earth. Hence, option (C) is correct.

What is Sagittarius A*?

Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy with a mass equal to four million Suns, is seen in the constellation of Sagittarius. It is a powerful radio source that is a part of the larger Sagittarius A complex.

One of Chandra's largest observing missions to date led to these new discoveries. In order to obtain the first-ever X-ray photos and energy fingerprints of the multi-million degree plasma swirling around Sgr A*, a black hole with around 4 million times the mass of the Sun, Chandra made observations over the course of nearly five weeks in 2012.

Sgr A* is one of the very few black holes in the cosmos where we can really observe the flow of stuff close by, and it is only 26,000 light years away from Earth.

It is given that  v=0,t=5  s    and  s=10  m.

⇒0=u+5a  and  0=u^2+20a.

A ball is thrown upward from the top of a building at an angle of 30.0° to the horizontal and with
an initial speed of 20.0 m/s. The point of release is 45.0 m above the ground. Neglect air resistance.
(i) How long does it take for the ball to hit the ground?
(ii) Find the ball’s speed at impact.
(iii) Find the horizontal range of the stone.

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Vertical position = 45 +  20 sin (30) t  - 4.9 t^2

 when it hits ground this = 0

               0 = -4.9t^2 + 20 sin (30 ) t + 45

                0 = -4.9t^2 + 10 t +45 = 0     solve for t =4.22 sec

  max height is at  t= - b/2a = 10/9.8 =1.02

     use this value of 't' in the equation to calculate max height = 50.1 m

      it has  4.22 - 1.02 to free fall = 3.2 seconds free fall

           v = at = 9.81 * 3.2 = 31.39 m/s VERTICAL

      it will also still have horizontal velocity =  20 cos 30 = 17.32 m/s

        total velocity will be sqrt ( 31.39^2 + 17.32^2) = 35.85 m/s

Horizontal range = 20 cos 30  * t  =  20 *  cos 30  * 4.22 = 73.1 m

Given that, λ = 12cm = 0.12m

T = 1second

(A period T is the time required for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point)

frequency 'f' is unknown but we can get frequency from f = 1/T = 1/1 = 1Hz

Answers

The increase in temperature that will result if 225.0 g of copper absorbs 5000 J of heat energy is 57.72°C.

How to calculate temperature change?

The temperature change of a substance can be calculated using the following formula:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = quantity of heat absorbed or releasedm = mass of substancec = specific heat capacity∆T = change in temperature

5000 = 225 × 0.385 × ∆T

5000 = 86.63∆T

∆T = 5000/86.63

∆T = 57.72°C

Therefore, the increase in temperature that will result if 225.0 g of copper absorbs 5000 J of heat energy is 57.72°C.

Explanation:

An athlete runs 9km due east, then 18km north and finally 5km west. What is the total distance run? What is the resulting displacement of the hiker from the starting point?

Answers

Answer:

Distance: 32 km

Displacement: 18 km

Explanation:

Distance is the total amount travelled. Displacement on the other hand is how far away an object is from its starting point.

Distance is a scalar quantity meaning it only has magnitude. Displacement is a vector quantity meaning it has magnitude and direction.

Distance is represented by "x" while displacement is represented as "Δx".

Note that "Δ" is the Greek letter "delta" which is used to represent a change in something.

Let's start by finding the distance.

Since distance is the total amount travelled, we can just add all of the values.

9km + 18km + 5km = 32 km

Then, we can find the displacement.

North and East are positive while South and West are negative.

If the athlete ran 9km East and 5km West, their displacement would be:

9km - 5km = 4km East

Now, we can set up a triangle to determine the displacement from the starting point.

18km North would be the longer leg, 4km East would be the shorter leg, and the displacement would be the hypotenuse.

Using Pythagorean's Theorem we find that:

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2\\4^2+18^2=c^2\\16+324=c^2\\340=c^2\\c\approx18[/tex]

Note that "a" and "b" represent the legs of the triangle while "c" represents the hypotenuse of the triangle.

The displacement is approximately 18m.

A light-year is a unit generally used to express the distance that light travels in one year. Which of these can be expressed in the light years?

A] the age of a rock
B] the distance between two stars
C] the speed at which the earth revolves around the sun
D] the time earth takes to complete a revolution around the sun

Answers

Answer: B

A and D are measurements of time and C is a speed. Light-years measure distance.

The option that can be expressed in light years is " the distance between two stars." The correct option is B.

What is a light year?

A light-year is a unit of distance used to measure astronomical distances. It is defined as the distance that light travels in one Earth year in the vacuum of space, which is approximately 9.46 trillion kilometers (5.88 trillion miles). Light travels at a speed of about 299,792,458 meters per second (or approximately 186,282 miles per second), which means that in one year, light can cover a distance of 9.46 trillion kilometers. Light years are commonly used to measure the distance between stars and galaxies, and since space is vast, other units of distance are often not practical.

Here in the Question,

A] The age of a rock is a measure of time, usually in millions or billions of years, and cannot be expressed in light years, which is a unit of distance.

C] The speed at which the Earth revolves around the sun is measured in kilometers per second or miles per hour and represents a velocity, not a distance. Hence it cannot be expressed in light years.

D] The time it takes for Earth to complete a revolution around the sun is measured in days or years and is again a measure of time, not distance. So it cannot be expressed in light years.

Therefore, Only B The distance between two stars is a measure of distance, which can be expressed in light years since it is a vast distance and other units may not be suitable.

Answers

Answer:26.7 and 7.4

Explanation:

So, first you add all the time up then the area travelled.

Firstly; 45 mins + 300 minutes(5 hours) + 165 minutes(2.75 minutes)= 510 minutes

Secondly; 42.2KM + 180.5KM + 3.86KM= 226.56KM

Finally: For hourly you would do: 510 divided by 60 to get 510 mins in terms of hours: so, 8.5 hours then you would do 226.56KM divided by 8.5 hours to get: 26.7Km/hr

For m/s: 7.4m/s

Summarize these in your own wordsThe SA, Hitlers so-called storm troopers, were a type of private army which Hitler used to his advantage during the 1920s and early 30s to whip up support for the Nazi Party. The SA would often use violence to break-up political meetings of opposing parties, such as the Communist Party. When elections were held, the SA would be out in force encouraging, i.e. frequently threatening citizens to vote for the Nazis. After 1933, the SA became too powerful a force of its own; Hitler recognized that, if Germany were to go to war, it would need the support of the traditional German military machine, i.e. support of the elite General Staff officers, many of whom were soldiers in the first World War, many who were from wealthy, land owning families, many who were sympathetic to the concept of having and needing a strong leader and a strong military, many who were, at heart, suspicious of a democracy, such as the German Weimar Republic, established as part of the Versailles Peace Treaty ending World War 1. The SA was forced to dissolve about 1934 and most of its members were integrated into the German armed forces. The SS, Hitlers elite military force was established to raise a generation of specially trained men who would follow orders without question. They participated, for example, as the Einsatzgruppen (Special Forces) and were responsible for conducting the mass executions in front of open pit grave sites (usually dug by the victims themselves) of thousands of innocent, Jewish citizens and political dissidents. Especially in the Soviet Union. Many were concentration camp guards or, as Rudolf Hoess at Auschwitz, rose to the ranks of a commandant of a concentration camp.The Main Office of the Order Police participated in roundups of Jews, guarding and shooting of Jews in ghettos, concentration camps and in towns occupied by the Germans.
