Question
Chapter 15, Problem 1QAP
To determine
The given statement true or false.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1QAP
False.
Explanation of Solution
The stars which are closer to the center of the galaxy moves at higher speed and the stars which are far away from the center of the galaxy moves at slow speed.
The hypothesis that the mass and light are distributed in the same way is proved wrong. The rotational velocity of the stars is found to be much higher than the amount of light present in that region. This result concluded that there are some other mass present which contribute for the speed of rotation.
The rotation curve shows that the stars at the end of galaxy also rotate with much higher speed than the luminous mass present there.
Conclusion:
Thus, the given statement is false.

- 13.87 ... Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets?
