A binary star system consists of two stars of masses m1 and m2. The stars, which gravitationally attract each other, revolve aro

und the center of mass of the system. The star with mass m1 has a centripetal acceleration of magnitude a1. Note that you do not need to understand universal gravitation to solve this problem.Find a2, the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the star with mass m2.

Answer:

 a₂ = m₁ / m₂ a₁

Explanation:

For this exercise we note that the attraction between the two stars is an action and reaction force, therefore it has the same magnitude, but it is applied to each of the bodies

Let's apply Newton's second law on the star 1

     F₁ = m₁ a₁

Newton's second law in star 2

       F₂ = m₂ a₂

       | F₁ | = | F₂ |

      m₁  a₁ = m₂  a₂

      a₂ = m₁ / m₂ a₁

Nady [450]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes, this is a random error generating because of statistical constraint. We only have finite number of data points. As per this, if we plot our observation we will get a gaussian (inverse bell ) shaped curve with mean equal to central value.

A student throws a baseball horizontally at 25 meters per second from a cliff 45 meters above the level ground. Approximately ho
Delicious77 [7]
First, calculate how long the ball is in midair. This will depend only on the vertical displacement; once the ball hits the ground, projectile motion is over. Since the ball is thrown horizontally, it originally has no vertical speed. 
t = time vi = initial vertical speed = 0m/s g = gravity = -9.8m/s^2 y = vertical displacement = -45m 
y = .5gt^2 [Basically, in this equation we see how long it takes the ball to fall 45m] -45m = .5 (-9.8m/s^2) * t^2 t = 3.03 s 
Now we know that the ball is midair for 3.03s. Since horizontal speed is constant we can simply use: 
x = horizontal displacement v = horizontal speed = 25m/s t = time = 3.03s 
x = v*t x = 25m/s * 3.03s = 75.76 m Thus, the ball goes about 75 or 76 m from the base of the cliff.
