Two equal-mass stars maintain a constant distance apart of 8.0 x 1010 m and rotate about a point midway between them at a rate o

f one revolution every 12.6 yr.
(a) Why don’t the two stars crash into one another due to the gravitational force between them?
(b) What must be the mass of each star?

A ball is thrown with a speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 40o above the horizontal from the top of a 22-m tall building.
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

(a). The distance is  49.79 m.

(b). The speed of the ball is 24.39 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 20 m/s

Angle = 40°

Height = 22 m

Time = 3.25 sec

(a). We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

d=u\cos\theta\times t

Put the value into the formula

d=20\cos40\times3.25

d=49.79\ m

(b). We need to calculate the horizontal velocity

Using formula of velocity

v_{x}=u\cos\theta

Put the value into the formula

v_{x}=20\times\cos40

v_{x}=15.3\ m/s

We need to calculate the vertical velocity

Using equation of motion

v_{y}=u\sin\theta-gt

Put the value into the formula

v_{y}=20\sin40-9.8\times3.25

v_{y}=-19\ m/s

Negative sign shows the opposite direction.

We need to calculate the speed of ball

Using formula of speed

v=\sqrt{v_{x}^2+v_{y}^2}

v=\sqrt{(15.3)^2+(19)^2}

v=24.39\ m/s

Hence, (a). The distance is  49.79 m.

(b). The speed of the ball is 24.39 m/s.

In midair in the international space station a 1 kg chunk of putty moving at 1 m/s collides with and sticks to a 5 kg chunk of p
Delicious77 [7]
<span>We know that the momentum keeps constant in a inelastic collisions, so the product of mass and speed do not change:
   m1 * v1 + m2 * v2 = m * v
 1 * 1 + 5 * 0 = (1 + 5) * v
  1 = 6 * v
 v = 1/6 m/s
   So the final speed of the 6 kg chunk will travel at 0.167 m/s</span>

What two kinds of crust are involved in a subduction zone
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Oceanic crust and continental crust

Explanation:

A subduction zone is normally between oceanic crust which is made of basalt and continental crust which is made of granite. Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. So when oceanic crust collides with continental crusts, it subsducts underneath the continental crust since it is denser.

Suppose a rectangular piece of aluminum has a length D, and its square cross section has the dimensions W XW, where D (W x W) to
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

R₂ / R₁ = D / L

Explanation:

The resistance of a metal is

        R = ρ L / A

Where ρ is the resistivity of aluminum, L is the length of the resistance and A its cross section

We apply this formal to both configurations

Small face measurements (W W)

The length is

         L = W

Area  

         A = W W = W²

        R₁ = ρ W / W² = ρ / W

Large face measurements (D L)

       Length L = D= 2W

       Area     A = W L

     R₂ = ρ D / WL = ρ 2W / W L = 2 ρ/L

The relationship is

    R₂ / R₁ = 2W²/L

Why cable color codes are important ? what if we use three phase cables without color
Degger [83]

Answer:

Cable color codes are very important for example, If something is not wired properly, it can result in injuries, deaths, fires, and many other problems. This is why there are well-established wire color codes to ensure those working with an around this type of equipment can ensure everything is wired safely and effectively. If we used three phase cables without color code, this can lead too incorrect things that might be a hazard too get not fix and learning new color codes would be hard therefore we should stick too the same color codes for cables and it saves the hassle for needing too check every cable cord color then the original one signed too it.
