If the only force exerted on a star far from the center of the Galaxy (r = 7.40 ✕ 1020 m) is the gravitational force exerted by

the ordinary matter (Mord = 1.90 ✕ 1041 kg), find the speed of the star. Assume a circular orbit and assume all the Galaxy's matter is concentrated at the center.

Answer:

The value is $v = 1.309*10^{5}\ m/s$

Explanation:

The radius is $r = 7.40 *10^{20} \ m$

The mass of the ordinary matter is $M_{rod} = 1.90 *10^{41}\ kg$

Generally the speed of the star is mathematically represented as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{G * M}{r} }$

Here G is the gravitational constant with a value

$G = 6.67384 * 10^{-11}$

So

$v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67384 * 10^{-11} * 1.90 *10^{41}}{7.40 *10^{20}} }$

=> $v = 1.309*10^{5}\ m/s$

How would the attractive force between two spheres change if the mass of one sphere was doubled?

Dominik [7]

The force of attraction between two objects can be illustrated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
The relation between the different parameters is shown in the attached image.

Now, from the relation, we can deduce that the force between the two objects is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects.

This means that, if the mass of one object is doubled, then the force between the two objects will also be doubled.

A child throws a ball vertically upward to a friend on a balcony 28 m above him. The friend misses the ball on its upward flight

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

$t=1.9 sec$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height $h=28m$

Time $t=3s$

Generally the Newton's equation for Initial velocity upward is mathematically given by

$s=ut+\frtac{1}{2}at^2$

$28=3u-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*3^2$

$u=24.03m/s$

Generally the velocity at elevation and depression occurs as ball arrives and passes through S=28

$v=\sqrt{24.03-2*9.8*28}$

$v=5.35m/s and -5.35m/s$

Generally the Newton's equation for time to reach initial velocity is mathematically given by

$v=u+at$

$5.35=24.03-9.8t$

$t=\frac{28.03-5.35}{9.8}$

$t=1.9 sec$

If a moving car speeds up until it is going twice as fast, how much kinetic energy doe s it have compared with its initial kinet

dezoksy [38]

The kinetic energy of an object of mass m and velocity v is given by
$K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Let's call $v_i$ the initial speed of the car, so that its initial kinetic energy is
$K_i = \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2$
where m is the mass of the car.

The problem says that the car speeds up until its velocity is twice the original one, so
$v_f = 2 v_i$
and by using the new velocity we can calculate the final kinetic energy of the car
$K_f = \frac{1}{2} mv_f^2 = \frac{1}{2}m (2 v_i)^2 = 4 ( \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2)=4 K_i$
so, if the velocity of the car is doubled, the new kinetic energy is 4 times the initial kinetic energy.

Us your understanding of asexual reproduction to explain why is it important that organisms reproduce in a variety of ways.

valentina_108 [34]

The genetic material is identical in asexual reproduction- in order for organisms to be strong they need variety so if a disease comes, some of the species may be able to fight it off because of their varied genetics
