Birth Star:
Main sequence stars fuse hydrogen atoms to form helium atoms in their cores. About 90 percent of the stars in the universe, including the sun, are main sequence stars. These stars can range from about a tenth of the mass of the sun to up to 200 times as massive. Stars start their lives as clouds of dust and gas.
Death Star:
Dense regions in the clouds collapse and form "protostars". Initially, the gravitational energy of the collapsing star is the source of its energy. Once the star contracts enough that its central core can burn hydrogen to helium, it becomes a "main sequence" star.

In a collision, a 25.0 kg mass moving at 3.0 m/s transfers all of its momentum to a 5.0 kg mass.

nadezda [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

The momentum of the 25 kg mass is

$p=mv$

$p=25kg*3m/s= 75kg*m/s$

If this whole momentum of the object is transferred to the 5.0 kg object then according to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the 25.0 kg object must be transferred to the 5.0 kg object:

$75kg*m/s = 5.0kg*v$

$v=\dfrac{75}{5}$

$\boxed{v=15m/s}$

How can we tell when forces are acting on an object (science)

iren [92.7K]

If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,
then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of
these things to happen.

Once in a while, there may be <em><u>a group</u></em> of forces (two or more) acting on
an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced". When
that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed
is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line. In that case, it's not
possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it.

A baseball of mass m = 0.31 kg is spun vertically on a massless string of length L = 0.51m. The string can only support a tensio

natulia [17]

Given data:

* The mass of the baseball is 0.31 kg.

* The length of the string is 0.51 m.

* The maximum tension in the string is 7.5 N.

Solution:

The centripetal force acting on the ball at the top of the loop is,

$\begin{gathered} T+mg=\frac{mv^2}{L}_{} \\ v^2=\frac{L(T+mg)}{m} \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{L(T+mg)}{m}} \end{gathered}$

For the maximum velocity of the ball at the top of the vertical circular motion,

$v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{L(T_{\max }+mg)}{m}}$

where g is the acceleration due to gravity,

Substituting the known values,

$\begin{gathered} v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.51(7.5_{}+0.31\times9.8)}{0.31}} \\ v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.51(10.538)}{0.31}} \\ v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{17.34} \\ v_{\max }=4.16\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the maximum speed of the ball at the top of the vertical circular motion is 4.16 meters per second.
