Answer:
B, the car travels around a circular track at 30 m.
Explanation:
Answer:
6.86 * 10^8 m
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Mass of hot gas, m = 2 kg
Gravitational Force, F = 618.2 N
Mass of Alpha Centauri, M = 2.178 * 10^30 kg
The gravitational force between two masses (the hot gas and Alpha Centauri) , m and M, at a distance, r, given as:
F = (G*M*m) / r²
Where G = gravitational constant
Therefore,
618.2 = (6.67 * 10^(-11) * 2.178 * 10^30 * 2) / r²
=> r² = (6.67 * 10^(-11) * 2.178 * 10^30 * 2) / 618.2
r² = 4.699 * 10^17 m²
=> r = 6.86 * 10^8 m
We are told that the hot gas is on the surface of Alpha Centauri, hence, the distance between both their centers is the radius of Alpha Centauri.
The mean radius of Alpha Centauri is 6.86 * 10^8 m.
Answer:
Kinetic energy
Explanation:
Total energy of any system is always conserved.
E= Total energy
K = kinetic energy
U = Potential energy
Kinetic energy is the energy acquired by the system due to the virtue of it's motion.
Potential energy is the energy acquired by the system due to the virtue of it's configuration.
Also, Kinetic energy 
A mass suspended from a spring is oscillating up and down, (as stated but not indicated).
A). At some point during the oscillation the mass has zero velocity but its acceleration is non-zero (can be either positive or negative). <em>Yes. </em> This statement is true at the top and bottom ends of the motion.
B). At some point during the oscillation the mass has zero velocity and zero acceleration. No. If the mass is bouncing, this is never true. It only happens if the mass is hanging motionless on the spring.
C). At some point during the oscillation the mass has non-zero velocity (can be either positive or negative) but has zero acceleration. <em>Yes.</em> This is true as the bouncing mass passes through the "zero point" ... the point where the upward force of the stretched spring is equal to the weight of the mass. At that instant, the vertical forces on the mass are balanced, and the net vertical force is zero ... so there's no acceleration at that instant, because (as Newton informed us), A = F/m .
D). At all points during the oscillation the mass has non-zero velocity and has nonzero acceleration (either can be positive or negative). No. This can only happen if the mass is hanging lifeless from the spring. If it's bouncing, then It has zero velocity at the top and bottom extremes ... where acceleration is maximum ... and maximum velocity at the center of the swing ... where acceleration is zero.
