The Small Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galay orbiting the Milky Way at a distance of 50 kiloparsecs from its center, on a circular orbit. It is moving at a velocity. rolative to the Milky Way, of 207 km/s. What is the mass of the Milky Way, in units of solar masses, inside the Cloud's orbit? B !! 245 If'a quasar emits 10^(10) times the Sun's luminosity, converting 10% of the mass of the material it eats into radiation, how many stars (ach of the Sun's mans) must it consume per year?
Can you please help w/ the question in the pic? This is the data I have so far: 1. Determine the mass M of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Take the distance of one light year to be 9.461x10^15: answer= 4.26*10^37 2.Express your answer in solar masses instead of kilograms, where one solar mass is equal to the mass of the sun, which is 1.99*10^30: answer=2.14*10^7 TIA
Suppose astronomers found evidence of an earth-like planet 20 lightyears away. a) what may be two ethical considerations that one may consider when deciding if humans should travel to this planet? b) how fast would a spaceship need to travel if the roundtrip can no take longer than 40 years for the astronauts? c) how much time will the trip take according to the people on earth?
The answer is incorrect, would there be another way for figuring this out? Thank you.

The speed of light is 2.998*10^8 m/s. How far does light travel in 6.0 μs? Set the math up. But don't do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression. be sure your answer includes all the correct unit symbols.
The Millennium Falcon is approximately 35.2 m long. There are conflicting reports, but the Fàlcon made the Kessel Run in approximately 12.95 parsecs. This is an odd unit to measure speed with as a parsec is a unit of length equal to 3.26 light-year. The science FICTION comes in when you consider that ships in Star Wars use hyperdrive to travel faster than the speed of light, so they are able to make jumps through space. Han Solo picked difficult or dangerous points to jump between to make the trip so short.tet's imagine that the Millennium Falcon travels at 0.95c during the 12.95 parsec Kessel Run. What distance, in light-year, does an observer at the finish line measure for the trip? Don't forget to convert parsec to light-year. light-year What distance, in light-year, does Han Solo measure for the trip as he pilots the ship? | light-year
Suppose we find an Earth-like planet around one of our nearest stellar neighbors, Alpha Centauri (located only 4.4 light-years away). If we launched a "generation ship" at a constant speed of 1500.00 km/s from Earth with a group of people whose descendants will explore and colonize this planet, how many years before the generation ship reached Alpha Centauri? (Note there are 9.46 ××1012 km in a light-year and 31.6 million seconds in a year.
Hi, I have a physics question! Based on the attached photo, I am to find Frx and Fry which I already got it; Frx = m2gcos theta - m1gcos theta Fry = m1gsin theta + m2gsin theta - mg. SO, the data given is m1= 0.2 m2 = 0.2 m(m is the mass in the middle)= 0.2 so, is it correct that Frx will be 0 and Fry will be -0.303 N? theta = 25 degrees
The Millennium Falcon is approximately 35.2 m long. There are conflicting reports, but the Falcon made the Kessel Run in approximately 12.27 parsecs. This is an odd unit to measure speed with as a parsec is a unit of length equal to 3.26 light-year. The science FICTION comes in when you consider that ships in Star Wars use hyperdrive to travel faster than the speed of light, so they are able to make jumps through space. Han Solo picked difficult or dangerous points to jump between to make the trip so short. Let's imagine that the Millennium Falcon travels at 0.96c during the 12.27 parsec Kessel Run. What distance, in light-year, does an observer at the finish line measure for the trip? Don't forget to convert parsec to light-year.

Which person would measure the proper length of the Millennium Falcon?
