The name of the brightest star is ursae majoris. it is a dwarf star and lie in the constellation of ursa major. that is why it has such similar name. around this star , we have three planets around this star. the distance of this star is around 46 light years. also it's mass is almost same as that of the sun. it rotates with a period of 24 hours

A father racing his son has 1/3 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/4 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.5 m
Feliz [49]

Explanation:

Let the speeds of father and son are v_f\ and\ v_s. The kinetic energies of father and son are K_f\ and\ K_s. The mass of father and son are  m_f\ and\ m_s

(a) According to given conditions, K_f=\dfrac{1}{3}K_s

And m_s=\dfrac{1}{4}m_f

Kinetic energy of father is given by :

K_f=\dfrac{1}{2}m_fv_f^2.............(1)

Kinetic energy of son is given by :

K_s=\dfrac{1}{2}m_sv_s^2...........(2)

From equation (1), (2) we get :

\dfrac{v_f^2}{v_s^2}=\dfrac{1}{12}..............(3)

If the speed of father is speed up by 1.5 m/s, so the ratio of kinetic energies is given by :

\dfrac{K_f}{K_s}=\dfrac{1/2m_f(v_f+1.5)^2}{1/2m_sv_s^2}

v_s^2=4(v_f+1.5)^2

Using equation (3) in above equation, we get :

v_f=\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt3-1}=2.04\ m/s

(b) Put the value of v_f in equation (3) as :

v_s=7.09\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

A box is at rest on a table. What can you say about the forces acting on the box?
GarryVolchara [31]

the upward force is from the table and the downward is from gravity they are equal in force so the box doesn't fly up or sink down

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

1. increases

2. increases

3. increases

Explanation:

Part 1:

First of all, since the box remains at rest, the horizontal net force acting on the box must equal zero:

F1 - fs = 0.

And this friction force fs is:

fs = Nμs,

where μs is the static coefficient of friction, and N is the normal force.

Originally, the normal force N is equal to mg, where m is the mass of the box, and g is the constant of gravity. Now, there is an additional force F2 acting downward on the box, which means it increases the normal force, since the normal force by Newton's third law, is the force due to the surface acting on the box upward:

N = mg + F2.

So, F2 is increasing, that means fs is increasing too.

Part 2:

As explained in the part 1, N = mg + F2. F2 is increasing, so the normal force is thus increasing.

Part 3:

In part 1 and part 2, we know that fs = Nμs, and since the normal force N is increasing, the maximum possible static friction force fs, max is also increasing.

Two charges, one of 2.50μC and the other of -3.50μC, are placed on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at x = 0.600 m
aev [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

charge of first body q_1=2.5\ mu C

charge of second body q_2=-3.5\ mu C

Particle 1 is at origin and particle 2 is at x=0.6\ m

third Particle which charge +q must be placed left of 2.5\mu C because it will repel the q charge while -3.5\mu C will attract it

suppose it is placed at a distance of x m

F_{1q}=\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}

F_{2q}=\frac{kq(-3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}

F_{1q}+F_{2q}=0

\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}+\frac{kq(-3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}=0

\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}=\frac{kq(3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}

\frac{0.6+x}{x}=(\frac{3.5}{2.5})^{0.5}

0.6+x=1.1832x

x=3.27\ m
