g In a certain binary-star system, each star has the same mass which is 8.2 times of that of the Sun, and they revolve about the

ir center of mass. The distance between them is the 6.2 times the distance between Earth and the Sun. What is their period of revolution in years?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Third Law of Kepler.

Kepler's third law tells us that the period is defined as

T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 d^3}{2GM}

The given data are given with respect to known constants, for example the mass of the sun is

m_s = 1.989*10^{30}

The radius between the earth and the sun is given by

r = 149.6*10^9m

From the mentioned star it is known that this is 8.2 time mass of sun and it is 6.2 times the distance between earth and the sun

Therefore:

m = 8.2*1.989*10^{30}

d = 6.2*149.6*10^6

Substituting in Kepler's third law:

T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 d^3}{2}

T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2(6.2*149.6*10^9)^3}{2(6.674*10^{-11} )(8.2*1.989*10^30 )}

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2(6.2*149.6*10^9)^3}{2(6.674*10^{-11} )(8.2*1.989*10^30)}}

T = 120290789.7s

T = 120290789.7s(\frac{1year}{31536000s})

T \approx 3.8143 years

Therefore the period of this star is 3.8years

A 27.0-m steel wire and a 48.0-m copper wire are attached end to end and stretched to a tension of 145 N. Both wires have a radi
algol13

Answer:

The time taken by the wave to travel  along the combination of two wires is 458 ms.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of steel wire= 27.0 m

Length of copper wire = 48.0 m

Tension = 145 N

Radius of both wires = 0.450 mm

Density of steel wire \rho_{s}= 7.86\times10^{3}\ kg/m^{3}

Density of copper wire \rho_{c}=8.92\times10^{3}\ kg/m^3

We need to calculate the linear density of steel wire

Using formula of linear density

\mu_{s}=\rho_{s}A

\mu_{s}=\rho_{s}\times\pi r^2

Put the value into the formula

\mu_{s}=7.86\times10^{3}\times\pi\times(0.450\times10^{-3})^2

\mu_{s}=5.00\times10^{-3}\ kg/m

We need to calculate the linear density of copper wire

Using formula of linear density

\mu_{c}=\rho_{s}A

\mu_{c}=\rho_{s}\times\pi r^2

Put the value into the formula

\mu_{c}=8.92\times10^{3}\times\pi\times(0.450\times10^{-3})^2

\mu_{c}=5.67\times10^{-3}\ kg/m

We need to calculate the velocity of the wave along the steel wire

Using formula of velocity

v_{s}=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_{s}}}

v_{s}=\sqrt{\dfrac{145}{5.00\times10^{-3}}}

v_{s}=170.3\ m/s

We need to calculate the velocity of the wave along the steel wire

Using formula of velocity

v_{c}=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_{c}}}

v_{c}=\sqrt{\dfrac{145}{5.67\times10^{-3}}}

v_{c}=159.9\ m/s

We need to calculate the time taken by the wave to travel  along the combination of two wires

t=t_{s}+t_{c}

t=\dfrac{l_{s}}{v_{s}}+\dfrac{l_{c}}{v_{c}}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{27.0}{170.3}+\dfrac{48.0}{159.9}

t=0.458\ sec

t=458\ ms

Hence, The time taken by the wave to travel  along the combination of two wires is 458 ms.

2. The components of vector A are given as follows:
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

50 degree.

Explanation:

Given that the components of vector A are given as follows: Ax = 5.6 Ay = -4.7

The angle between vector A and B in the positive direction of x-axis will be achieved by using the formula:

Tan Ø = Ay/Ax

Substitute Ay and Ax into the formula above.

Tan Ø = -4.7 / 5.6

Tan Ø = -0.839

Ø = tan^-1(-0. 839)

Ø = - 40 degree

Therefore, the angle between vector A and B positive direction of x-axis will be

90 - 40 = 50 degree.

The stoplights on a street are designed to keep traffic moving at 26 mi/h. the average length of a street block between traffic ligh
bonufazy [111]

We use the formula,

v = \frac{d}{t}.

Here, v is velocity and its value given 26 mi/h ( in m/s,  \frac{26 \times 1.609 \times 10^{3} m}{60 \times 60 s} =11.62 \ m/s ) and d is distance and its value is given 80 m.

Substituting these values in above formula we get,

t = \frac{80 m}{11.62m/s } = 6.88 \ s

Thus, the time delay between green lights on successive blocks to keep the traffic moving continuously is 6.88 s

A horizontal force acts on an object on a fric- tionless horizontal surface. If the force is halved and the mass of the object i
guapka [62]

(a)  If the force is halved and the mass of the object is doubled, the acceleration will be one-fourth as great.

(b)  if the force on it is doubled and its mass is halved, the new acceleration will be four times as great.

The force on an object is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

\frac{F_1}{m_1a_1} = \frac{F_2}{m_2a_2}

(a)

when the force is halved, F₂ = 0.5F₁,

mass is doubled, m₂ = 2m₁

\frac{F_1}{m_1a_1} = \frac{0.5F_1}{2m_1a_2} \\\\2m_1a_2F_1 = 0.5F_1 m_1a_1\\\\2a_2 = 0.5a_1\\\\a_2 = \frac{0.5a_1}{2} = \frac{a_1}{2 \times 2} = \frac{a_1}{4} \\\\a_2 = \frac{1}{4} (a_1)

Thus, If the force is halved and the mass of the object is doubled, the acceleration will be one-fourth as great.

(b)

when the force is doubled, F₂ = 2F₁,

mass is halved, m₂ = 0.5m₁

\frac{F_1}{m_1 a_1} = \frac{2F_1}{0.5m_1 a_2} \\\\0.5m_1a_2 F_1 = 2F_1m_1a_1\\\\0.5a_2 = 2a_1\\\\a_2 = \frac{2a_1}{0.5} \\\\a_2 = 4(a_1)

Thus, if the force on it is doubled and its mass is halved, the new acceleration will be four times as great.
