Discuss how the graph of orbital velocities in rotational galaxies against distance from the galactic centre implies the existence of dark matter.

Within the central swell of the galaxy, we can see that the orbital velocity increases almost linearly with distance, which corresponds with the formula for orbital velocity (namely that v=sqrt(GM/r)), as...

What is the difference between Speed, Velocity and Acceleration?

Speed and Velocity are both measures of distance travelled in a given time and are therefore calculated using Speed=Distance/Time.Speed is a scalar quantity which means that it is quantified by a magnitud...

pressure = 2.3 × 10^5 Pa temperature= 200K. At a constant volume, when the temperature increases to 300K what is the pressure in Pa?

Divide pressure by temperature to get the constant = 1150. Making sure all values are in the correct units.Then multiply by 300K to get the increased pressure. 3.45 x 10^5 Pa

What is the Rutherford alpha scattering experiment and what does it tell us?

The Rutherford experiment allowed us to experimentally disprove older models of the atom, forming the basis of the evidence for the nuclear model of the atom. The atom at the time was bel...

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Let us have an object that starts at an origin point O and ends at some finishing point F. Distance is the total length of the path taken by the object between O and F, this is also known from our everyda...
