The star that is twice as massive as the sun will have a lifespan that is much shorter than the sun.

A star twice as massive as the Sun will burn itself out faster, which means it has a shorter lifespan.

Two manned satellites approach one another at a relative velocity of v = 0.150 m/s, intending to dock. The first has a mass of m

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

= - 0.41m/s

Explanation:

Velocity of first satellite

$V_1 = \frac{m_1 -m_2}{m_1 + m_2} u$

$V_1 = \frac{(4 \times 10^3) - (7.5 \times 10^3)}{(4 \times 10^3) + (7.5 \times 10^3)} \times 0.15\\\\= -0.30435$

Velocity of the second satellite

$V_2 = \frac{2m_1}{m_1 + m_2} u$

$V_2 = \frac{2 \times 4 \times 10^3}{4 \times 10^3 + 7.5 \times 10^3} \\\\= 0.10435$

Final velocity = V(1) - V(2)

$V = -0.30435 - 0.10435\\\\= -0.4087$

≅ -0.41m/s

Dropping a stone from a height is work or not?

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Dropping a stone from a height is work

Explanation:

Work is the action of a force through a distance.

w = fd

The Earth's gravitational attractive force is pulling the stone to its centre, so the Earth is doing work on the stone.

two forces whose magnitude are in ratio of 3:5 gives a resultant of 35N.if the angle of inclination is 60degree.calculate the ma

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

the magnitude of first force = 3 × 5= 15 N

ANd, the magnitude of second force = 5 × 5 = 25 N

Explanation:

The computation of the magnitude of the each force is shown below:

Provided that

Ratio of forces = 3: 5

Let us assume the common factor is x

Now

first force = 3x

And, the second force = 5x

Resultant force = 35 N

The Angle between the forces = 60 degrees

Based on the above information

Resultant force i.e. F = √ F_1^2 +F_2^2 + 2 F_1F_2cos $\theta$

35 = √[(3x)²+ (5x)²+ 2 (3x)(5x) cos 60°]

35 =√ 9x² + 25x² + 15x² (cos 60° = 0.5)

35 = √49 x²

x = 5

So, the magnitude of first force = 3 × 5= 15 N

ANd, the magnitude of second force = 5 × 5 = 25 N
