Jackson throws a football 30 meters at a speed of 15 m/s. How long was the football in the air before Laurence caught it for tou
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

2s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance  = 30m

Speed  = 15m/s

Unknown:

Time before Laurence caught it = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

    Speed  = \frac{disance }{time}  

 Time taken  = \frac{distance }{speed }   = \frac{30}{15}  = 2s

The time it takes is 2s

The spin-drier of a washing machine revolving at 900.RPM slows down uniformly to 300.RPM while making 60. revolutions. Find the
jeyben [28]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Acceleration is </u><u>-10.57 rad/s²  </u>

<u>Time is </u><u>6 seconds</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h3>a) </h3>

u=900rpm= 94.248 rad/s  

v =300rpm= 31.416 rad/s  

s=60 revolutions= 377 rad  

v²= u²+ 2as  

31.416² = 94.248²+ 2 * a * 377  

a = v²-u² / 2s

a= -10.57 rad/s²  

<h3>b) </h3>

Using 1st equation of motion

v-u/a = t

Putting the values

t = (31.4 - 94.2)/-10.57

t = 6 seconds

Under what circumstances will a binary star produce a nova?
Oksana_A [137]
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.
