Answer to Problem 1VSC

Solution:

The color that represents the brightest radio emission is white and the color that represents the lowest levels of brightness is black/dark blue.

Explanation of Solution

As the cold, dense molecular clouds are concentrated in a narrow layer near the midplane of the galactic disk, the white color in the middle represents the brightest radio emission.

As we see away from the midplane, there is less concentration of molecular clouds. So, the black/dark blue color represents the lowest levels of brightness.

Conclusion:

The color that represents the brightest radio emission is white and the color that represents the lowest levels of brightness is black/dark blue.

3.19 • Win the Prize. In a carnival booth, you can win a stuffed gi- raffe if you toss a quarter into a small dish. The dish is on a shelf above the point where the quarter leaves your hand and is a horizontal dis- tance of 2.1 m from this point (Fig. E3.19). If you toss the coin with a velocity of 6.4 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal, the coin will land in the dish. Ignore air resistance. (a) What is the height of the shelf above the point where the quarter leaves your hand? (b) What is the vertical component of the velocity of the quarter just before it lands in the dish? Figure E3.19 6.4 m/s 2.1
