Question
Chapter 22, Problem 1Q
To determine
The reason that stars of galaxy appear to form a bright band that extends around the sky.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The image given belowshows the results of a more recent 21-cm survey of the entire sky. Here, neutral hydrogen gas (H I) in the plane of the Milky Way stands out prominently as a bright band across the middle of this image.
The Earth is part of the Milky Way galaxy. Earth is not at the centerof the galaxy but lies at one end in the minor Orion arm. Most of stars in the galaxy lie in the disk around its center. When observed from the Earth, this disk having billion of stars can be seen in the form of the bright band extending around the sky.

- No chatgpt plsarrow_forwardIn a naval battle, a battleship is attempting to fire on a destroyer. The battleship is a distance d1 = 2,150 m to the east of the peak of a mountain on an island, as shown in the figure below. The destroyer is attempting to evade cannon shells fired from the battleship by hiding on the west side of the island. The initial speed of the shells that the battleship fires is vi = 245 m/s. The peak of the mountain is h = 1,840 m above sea level, and the western shore of the island is a horizontal distance d2 = 250 m from the peak. What are the distances (in m), as measured from the western shore of the island, at which the destroyer will be safe from fire from the battleship? (Note the figure is not to scale. You may assume that the height and width of the destroyer are small compared to d1 and h.)arrow_forwardNo chatgpt plsarrow_forward
