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

In order for an object to accelerate, a forcegravityfrictiona swing must be applied.
vodomira [7]
<span>In order for an object to accelerate, a <u>force</u> must be applied. It follows Newton’s second law of motion where it states that a body at rest remains at rest unless a force is acted upon it. When you move an object, you are exerting a force onto it. By exerting a force on the object, you are actually displacing it from its initial position. You cannot apply force to the object without altering its position. Keep in mind that when you exert work, you are exerting energy too. </span>

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Far point of the eye is 22.24 m

Far point of the eye is 0.4 m

Explanation:

\frac{1}{f}=-0.045

Object distance = u

Image distance = v

Lens equation

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=-0.045-\frac{1}{\infty}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{-0.045}\\\Rightarrow v=-22.22\ m

Far point

|v|+\text{Position from eye}\\ =|-22.22|+0.02\\ =22.24\ m

Far point of the eye is 22.24 m

Object distance = u = 0.25-0.02 = 0.23 m

\frac{1}{f}=1.75

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=1.75-\frac{1}{0.23}\\\Rightarrow v=-0.38\ m

Near point

|v|+\text{Position from eye}\\= |-0.38|+0.02\\ =0.4\ m

Far point of the eye is 0.4 m
