When you convet km to miles this is what you get
1.18061
Answer:
D. The period would decrease by sqrt (2)
Explanation:
The period of a mass-spring system is given by:
where
m is the mass
k is the spring constant of the spring
If the spring constant is doubled,
k' = 2k
So the new period will be
So the correct answer is
D. The period would decrease by sqrt (2)
Answer:
it is a measure of the heat content of fuels or energy sources
Explanation:
When a star uses up all of it's energy and begins to die, it swells up to become a red giant star. This causes its surface gravity to decrease, thereby allowing some of its mass to escape into space.
A binary star is a pair of stars that orbit each other because of their gravitational attraction to each other. When one member of the binary pair uses up all of its energy and begins to die, it loses mass due to the reduction in surface gravity. But instead of escaping into space, this mass is attracted to the companion star because of its gravitational pull. That increases the mass of the companion star. In a process that takes thousands of years, enough matter is transfered that causes the temperature and pressure to increase sufficiently to result in nuclear fusion reactions on the companion star. When these nuclear reactions become extremely violent, the released nuclear energy increases the brightness of this companion star dramatically, thereby creating a nova.
Therefore, it is the dying of one of the stars in a binary system along with a sufficient transfer of star mass to sustain nuclear reactions that results in a nova.
