Accretion is defined as:

Physics
1 answer:
lesya692 [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: C. Gravity that pulls matter inward in a spiraling matter.

Explanation:

In astrophysics, particles are pulled towards a massive object due to gravity which further attracts more particles. A disk of particles is formed around the object. Hence, we can define Accretion as a process in which particles are accumulated in a form of a disk of surrounding a massive object (like a black-hole) due to gravity which pulls the matter inwards and matter spirals around the massive object. Galaxies, planets etc. are formed out of accretion process. Thus, the correct option is C.

A man has power of 90W and mass 60kg runs up a staircase in 40 second. If each step of staircase is 20m high calculate the numbe
Zielflug [23.3K]
Power is calculated by dividing the work done with the time interval of the motion. Work, on the other hand, is force times the distance traveled. Therefore, we can calculate as follows:<span>

Power=W/t = mgd/t
90 = 60(9.81)d / 40
d = 6.12 m

Number of steps = 20/6.12 = 3.27 or 3 steps</span>

Why can voyager 1 maintain its speed?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

based on my opinion

The smart guys at NASA designed the trajectory such that as they passed Jupiter, they gained some speed by being dragged along by Jupiter

This is called a gravity assist . Voyager 2 picked up about 18 km / s of velocity from that Jupiter gravity assist ...

A cube of metal has a mass of 11 grams and a volume of 1 cm . When fully submerged in water this metal cube hanging from an accu
Anarel [89]

Answer:

0.098 N

Explanation:

From the question,

Spring scale reading = W-U............... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the cube, U = upthrust.

W = mg

Where m =  mass of the cube, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 11 g = 0.011 kg, g = 9.8 m/s².

W = 0.011(9.8)

W = 0.1078 N.

From Archimedes principle,

Upthrust = weight of water displaced.

U = (Density of water×volume of metal cube)×acceleration due to gravity.

U = (D×V)g

Given: D = 1000 kg/m², V = 1 cm³ = (1/1000000) = 1×10⁻⁶ m³, g - 9.8 m/s²

U = 1000(9.8)(10⁻⁶)

U = 0.0098 N.

Substitute the value of W and U into equation 1

Reading of the spring scale = 0.1078-0.0098

Reading of the spring scale = 0.098 N
