Three Question in one to save my points!?

Question

1) How heavy is the Entire Galaxy?

2) Where do the ciggy buts go that mindless people throw out of there car windows, even tho they have an ashtray? (i mean you never see piles of these on the road!)

3) Why is music more pleasurable when listened to LOUD?

Answer 1

1.
5.8e11 M☉ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way That's 5800000000000 times the mass of the sun which is 1.989 e30 kg.

Doing the math would give 3,142 e41 kg or 314,200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg.

This figure is calculated from Kepler's law.

2.
They get blown by the wind to other other places, go down sewer drains, et buried under roadside dirt... lots of places. Some even get swept up by the street cleaners.

3.
The volume of music will have a direct impact on the force of the vibrations inside your ears. Depending on the individual, more or less force might feel good.
Also greater volume blocks out other sounds. This can reduce stress or create a feeling of "lost in the music" vacation.

Answer 2

1) How heavy is the Entire Galaxy?
>>>very

2) Where do the ciggy buts go that mindless people throw out of there car windows, even tho they have an ashtray? (i mean you never see piles of these on the road!)
>>>they get squished and then later cleaned off...

3) Why is music more pleasurable when listened to LOUD?
>>>pop

Answer 3

1) NGC 4414, a typical spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices, is about 17,000 parsecs in diameter and approximately 20 million parsecs distant.

I'd guess that its impossible to measure the ENTIRE Galaxy right now. We have not explored it enough.

2) The road sweepers come and suck up the ciggy butts or the wind blows them away down the drains or into people's gardens (thank you very much mindless smokers!! I have got enough in my garden??)

3) My kids love to listen to music LOUD because its pleasurable. I guess we enjoy the loud volumes when young until we get older, I suppose our ears get weaker and are more sensitive to loud music.

Interesting sound link for you called 'Quirks & Quarks': http://www.radio.cbc.ca/programs/quirks/test/audill.htm

Have fun!

Answer 4

No one knows the mass of the entire universe. It's assumed we can't observe most of it. The mass of the observable universe was last ESTIMATED to be 3 x 10^55 g in one study. That's 6.61 x 10^55 lbs

That's 661000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 lbs

And that's just one estimate and it's probably wrong. The universe is probably far more massive.


Cigarette buts are ash. The wind blows them apart and distributes them across the land.

I don't know why you think loud music is more pleasurable to listen to. It isn't.

Answer 5

1.Not known yet because the Galaxy is not known in its entirety.

2.Answer this yourself. Imagine you're a ciggy butt and those
wheels just zapped over you. In a few minutes you would be
earth to earth.

3.Some music is more pleasurable when loud because the
whole body reacts not just the eardrums.

Answer 6

1. I have no idea.

2. (a) Depends where you are. Somethimes they get picked up. Have you seen "Adopt-a-Hightway" signs in your area? Then people are volunteering to come out and pick up trash there.

2. (b) They are small, tend to go flat when moist, do disintegrate into biodegradeable components over time (about two years, I think...they are paper and cellulose), get incorporated into bird's nests or other animal homes, and frankly, there aren't that many of them that would "pile up".

3. I prefer classical music, and there's more detail when you turn it up...just like you see more detail of a photo or painting if you get close or use a magnifier. I like it about as loud as when in a concert hall, and I can really only achieve that in my car without annoying the neighbors.

Answer 7

1) Would you actually want to measure the beautiful mass? I would rather explore some more
2) Blown away into fields and grids in the road. someone once told me that they have biodegradable properties. i still don't know what to believe.
3) i think that people like it because of emotion and adrenalin? I'm a fan of both loud and soft but it depends on where i am.

Answer 8

1) 500 billion solar masses

2) eventually they get washed off the road and biodegrade at a greater or lesser rate, depending on what they're made from.

3) music with a beat can be sensed by the body as well as the ears when it's loud, and this is percieved by the mind as low-level sexual stimulation.

Answer 9

1) It has no weight, therefore "heavy" is a meaningless concept. It does have mass, but I can't be bothered to look it up

2) I do see piles of them at the side of roundabout junctions. They are disgusting

3) It's something to do with an organ that fish still use (something sonar-related?) that's left over from our evolutionary history. It 'likes' loud throbbing noise, but the level of noise that it responds to is damaging to our hearing apparatus.
