The Milky Way was once thought to be “murky” or “milky” but is now considered to be made up of point sources. Explain.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The explanation for the statement “The Milky Way was once thought to be murky or milky but it is now considered to be made up of point sources”.

Answer to Problem 1Q

The Milky Way was once thought to be murky or milky but it is now considered to be made up of point sources because earlier very large telescope were not available and the group of stars that appears to be cloudy.

Explanation of Solution

The sun and all the planets around and other stars around them are the part of galaxy known as Milky Way galaxy. The Milky Way was once thought to be murky or milky but is now considered to be made up of point sources because now very large telescope are available which gives the clear picture of galaxy.

Initially it was considered as murky because of the group of stars that appears to be cloudy but, now it is considered to be point sources because vary large telescope proved that these clouds are extravagate outside the galaxy.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the Milky Way was once thought to be murky or milky but it is now considered to be made up of point sources because earlier very large telescope were not available and the group of stars that appears to be cloudy.

You are working with a team that is designing a new roller coaster-type amusement park ride for a major theme park. You are present for the testing of the ride, in which an empty 150 kg car is sent along the entire ride. Near the end of the ride, the car is at near rest at the top of a 100 m tall track. It then enters a final section, rolling down an undulating hill to ground level. The total length of track for this final section from the top to the ground is 250 m. For the first 230 m, a constant friction force of 370 N acts from computer-controlled brakes. For the last 20 m, which is horizontal at ground level, the computer increases the friction force to a value required for the speed to be reduced to zero just as the car arrives at the point on the track at which the passengers exit. (a) Determine the required constant friction force (in N) for the last 20 m for the empty test car. Write AK + AU + AE int = W+Q + TMW + TMT + TET + TER for the car-track-Earth system and solve for…
