Answer:
Explanation:
The center of mass lies on a line that joins position 4 of one start with position 4 of the other star. The shortest distance between these two points will produce the largest velocity. You are using F = m v^2/R
Small R = large force.
Large Force = increased speed.
The masses don't have any effect on the outcome: they remain constant.
I'm going to say false hope that helped
Answer:
c. about 1/10 as great.
Explanation:
While jumping form a certain height when we bend our knees upon reaching the ground such that the time taken to come to complete rest is increased by 10 times then the impact force gets reduced to one-tenth of the initial value when we would not do so.
This is in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion which states that the rate of change in velocity is directly proportional to the force applied on the body.
Mathematically:
since mass is constant
when 
then,
the body will experience the tenth part of the maximum force.
where:
represents the rate of change in dependent quantity with respect to time
momentum
mass of the person jumping
velocity of the body while hitting the ground.
gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as
PE = mgh
where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to
gravity and h = height of the object above the reference line .
as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.
as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant
KE + PE = Total energy
so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.
when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens
