Answer:

The crust is the first layer of the earth. It is split up into two parts the continental crust, and the oceanic crust. The oceanic crust takes up 71% of the earths crust, and the other 29% of the crust is continental. The continental is made up of igneous rocks, and the oceanic crust is made up of sedimentary and basalt rocks. The continental crust is older than the oceanic crust, some of the rocks are 3.9 billion years old. The density average of the oceanic crust is 3g/cm. The average density of the continental earth is 2.7g/cm. The temperature of the crust is around 200-400 degrees Celsius. The crust is about 60 km thick under a continent and 5 km thick under the ocean. The crust is constantly moving. The crust doesn't even make up 1% of the earth! The crust is the layer were tectonic plates can be found.

Answer: $a_{2}=\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} a_{1}$

Explanation:

The rest of the question is below:

Find a2, the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the star with mass m2.

Assuming both stars are describing a uniform circular motion, their acceleration vector is directed towards the center of mass of the system (that's why it's called centripetal acceleration).

Now, according to Newton's 2nd law, the force $F$ is directly proportional and in the same direction as the acceleration.
