Answer: C. Binary star systemsLet’s see your options:
a) The <em>color of the star</em>: the color is not used in calculating the mass of a star, because it has no relation to it. Think about a red supergiant and a red dwarf: they have the same color, but they are completely different stars, with respectively a big and a small mass.
b) <em>Kepler’s laws</em>: these laws can be applied in what is called the “approximation of 1 body”, which means that is assumed that one body has a much bigger mass than the other and can be considered at rest. This is the case of a star-planet system and the mass that can be calculated is that of the planet.
c)<em> Binary star systems</em>: these are the only cases in which is possible the direct measure of the mass of the stars. Binary systems are classified as follows:
- Visual binaries: each star can be resolved and the motion around the center of mass can be measured.
- Astrometric binaries: only one star is visible, but the presence of the companion can be inferred by the movement of the first star around the system’s center of mass.
- Eclipse binaries: the two stars are not resolved (separated), but the luminosity varies periodically when one star eclipses the other.
- Spectroscopic binaries: the two stars are not resolved, but their spectrum reveals that they are a binary system.
In all these cases we have a “two-body problem” that can be solved by changing system of reference: the motion of bodies 1 and 2 is equivalent to the motion of a body of mass equal to the system’s reduced mass
moving in the potential generated by the total mass (M1 + M2) considered at rest. Hence, we can determine the masses of the two stars.
I might be wrong but I’d say the first one
Answer:
•when a food service worker touches food
Explanation:
The worker is physically putting his hands on the food, therefore contaminating it which whatever’s on his hands

Answer:
The speed of the 8-ball is 2.125 m/s after the collision.
Explanation:
<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum</u>
The total momentum of a system of masses is conserved unless an external force is applied. The momentum of a body with mass m and velocity v is calculated as follows:
P=mv
If we have a system of masses, then the total momentum is the sum of all the individual momentums:
When a collision occurs, the velocities change to v' and the final momentum is:
In a system of two masses, the law of conservation of linear momentum is simplified to:
The m1=0.16 Kg 8-ball is initially at rest v1=0. It is hit by an m2=0.17 Kg cue ball that was moving at v2=2 m/s.
After the collision, the cue ball comes to rest v2'=0. It's required to find the final speed v1' after the collision.
The above equation is solved for v1':
The speed of the 8-ball is 2.125 m/s after the collision.
Answer:
For the given conditions the fundamental frequency is 3728.26 Hertz
Explanation:
We know that for a pipe open at one end and closed at other end the fundamental frequency is given by
where
f is the fundamental frequency
is the speed of sound in air in the surrounding conditions.
L = Length of the pipe
Applying values we get and using speed of sound as 343m/s we get
