If a star collapses to a tenth its size, gravitation at its surface increases by 100 times as much.

The contraction of an astronomical object caused by its own gravity, which tends to pull stuff inward toward the center of gravity, is known as gravitational collapse. A cloud of interstellar matter gradually collapses under the influence of gravity to form a star. The temperature rises as a result of the compression brought on by the collapse until thermonuclear fusion takes place in the star's core. At this point, the collapse gradually comes to an end as the outward heat pressure equalizes the gravitational forces. Following that, the star is in a condition of dynamic equilibrium. A star will repeatedly collapse once all of its energy sources have been used up until it reaches a new equilibrium condition.

Recently, astronomers have observed stars and other objects that orbit the center of the Milky Way Galaxy farther out than our S

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

That scenario can be explained by the idea of the contribution of dark matter on that point.

Explanation:

It can be explained through the idea of dark matter, this one was born to explain why stars (or any object) that were farther for the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy didn't decrease it rotational velocity as it was expected according to equation 1.

$v = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{r}}$ (1)

Where v is the rotational velocity, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the supermassive black hole, and r is the orbital radius.

Notice, that If the distance increases the orbital speed decreases (inversely proportional).

(4A) The mass of Earth is 5.972 * 10^24 kg, and the radius of Earth is 6,371 km.

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

x₁ = 345100 km

Explanation:

The direction of the attraction forces between the earth and the object, and between the moon and the object, are in opposite direction and (along the straight line between the centers of earth and moon) and as gravity is always attractive, the net force will become zero when both forces are equal. According to this:

Let call "x₁" distance between center of the earth and the object, and

"x₂" the distance between center of the moon and the object, Mt mass of the earth, Ml mass of the moon, m₀ mass of the object

we can express:

F₁ ( force between earth and the object )

F₁ = K * Mt * m₀/ ( x₁)² K is a gravitational constant

F₂ (force between mn and the object)

F₂ = K * Ml * m₀ / (x₂)²

Then:

F₁ = F₂ K*Mt*m₀ / x₁² = K*Ml*m₀ /x₂²

Or simplifying the expression

Mt/ x₁² = Ml/ x₂²

We know that x₁ + x₂ = 384000 Km then

x₁ = 384000 - x₂

Mt/( 384000 - x₂)² = Ml / x₂²

Mt * x₂² = Ml *( 384000 - x₂)²

We need to solve for x₂

Mt * x₂² = Ml *[ ( 384000)² + x₂² - 768000*x₂]

By substitution:

5.972*10∧24*x₂² = 7.348*10∧22 * [ 1.47*10∧11 ] + 7.348*10∧22*x₂² -

7.348*10∧22*768000*x₂

Simplifying by 10∧22

5.972*10²*x₂² = 7.348* [ 1.47*10∧11 ] + 7.348*x₂²- 7.348*768000*x₂

Sorting out

5.972*10²*x₂²- 7.348*x₂² = 10.80*10∧11 - 56,43* 10∧5*x₂

(597,2 - 7,348 )* x₂² = 10.80*10∧11 - 56.43*10∧5*x₂

590x₂² + 56.43*10∧5*x₂ - 10.80*10∧11 = 0

Is a second degree equation

x₂ = -56.43*10∧5 ± √3184*10∧10 + 25488*10∧11 / 1160

x₂ ₁ = -56.43*10∧5 + √3184*10∧10 + 25488*10∧11 / 1160

x₂ ₁ = -56.43*10∧5 + √3184*10∧10 + 254880*10∧10 / 1160

x₂ ₁ = -56.43*10∧5 + 10∧5 [ √3184 + 254880 ] /1160

x₂ ₁ = -56.43*10∧5 + 508* 10∧5 / 1160

x₂ ₁ = 451.27*10∧5/1160

x₂ ₁ = 4512.7*10∧4 /1160

x₂ ₁ = 3.89*10∧4 km (distance between the moon and the object)

x₂ ₁ = 38900 km

x₂ = 38900 km

We dismiss the other solution because is negative and there is not a negative distance

Then the distance between the earth and the object is:

x₁ = 384000 - x₂

x₁ = 384000 - 38900

x₁ = 345100 km

Please answer this question for me and explain why.

horsena [70]

Answer:

D.None of these

Explanation:

The derivation of acceleration formula:

Let us call the 5kg mass $m_2$ and the 4kg mass $m_1$ . If the tension in the string is $T$ then for the mass $m_2$

(1). $T-m_2g=-m_2a$ <em>(the negative sign on the right side indicates that acceleration is downwards)</em>

And for the mass $m_1$

(2). $T-m_1g =m_1a$ <em> (the acceleration is upwards, hence the positive sign)</em>

Solving for $T$ in the 2nd equation we get:

$T =m_1a+m_1g$ ,

and putting this into the 1st equation we get:

$m_1a+m_1g-m_2g=-m_2a\\\\m_1a+m_2a = m_2g-m_1g\\\\a(m_1+m_2)= (m_2-m_1)g$

$\boxed{a= \dfrac{(m_2-m_1)}{(m_1+m_2)} g}$

Back to the question:

Using the formula for the acceleration we find

$a= \dfrac{(5kg-4kg)}{(5kg+4kg)} g$

$a = \dfrac{g}{9},$

which is the acceleration that none of the given choices offer. Also, the acceleration of the two blocks is the same, because if it weren't, the difference in the instantaneous velocities of the objects would cause the string to break. Therefore, these two reasons make us decide that none of the choices are correct.

Infrared waves are used in heat lamps and other heat sensing devices. Infrared waves or commonly known as Infrared radiations (IR) is the type of electromagnetic radiation we encounter most in our everyday life. Heat lamps are electrical devices which emit infrared radiation.
