Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 15SEQ
Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.
High-Velocity Star: The average speed of stars in the solar neighborhood relative to the Sun is about 20 km/s (i.e., the speed at which we see stars moving toward or away from the Sun-not their orbital speed around the galaxy). Suppose you discover a Star in the solar neighborhood that is moving relative to the Sun at a much higher speed-say, 200 km/s. What kind of orbit does this star probably have around the Milky Way? In what part of the galaxy does it spend most of its time? Explain.

Ps. Please answer on paper Thank you!
For this question, CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER, then explain your reasoning in the RATIONALE section below: Alpha,
Beta-plus, Beta-minus and Gamma decay are all different forms of radio-Active decay. A certain radio-isotope emits ONE
alpha particle, and its products then emit TWO beta-minus particles in succession. The atomic number of the final resulting
nucleus will now change (as compared to your starting nucleus) by
O A. zero
O B. minus 1
OC. minus 2
O D. minus 3
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!
