The spectral lines of two stars in a particular eclipsing binary system shift back and forth with a period of 3 months. The line

s of both stars shift by equal amounts, and the amount of the Doppler shift indicates that each star has an orbital speed of 88,000 m/s. What are the masses of the two stars

Answer:

Explanation:

given

T = 3months = 7.9 × 10⁶s

orbital speed = 88 × 10³m/s

V= 2πr÷T

∴ r = (V×T) ÷ 2π

r = (88km × 7.9 × 10⁶s) ÷ 2π

r = 1.10 × 10⁸km

using kepler's 3rd law

mass of both stars = (seperation diatance)³/(orbital speed)²

M₁ + M₂ = (2r)³/(\frac{1}{4}year)²

= (1.06 × 10²⁵)/(6.2×10¹³)

1.71×10¹²kg

since M₁ = M₂ =1.71×10¹²kg ÷ 2

M₁ = M₂ = 8.55×10¹¹kg

P*V = n*R*T where P = pressure V = volume n = number of moles R = the universal gas constant T = temperature in degrees Kelvin T
seraphim [82]

The Gay-Lussac's law or Amonton's law states that the pressure of a given amount of a gas is directly propotional to its temperature if its volume is kept constant  .

            P∝T

and  

The Charles Law states that volume of given amount of gas at constant pressure  is directly propotional to temperature.

              V∝T

So, by Gay-Lussac's law if we increase the temperature the Pressure will increase and by Charles Law, if we increase the temperature the volume will increase.

Therefore, if the temperature of gas increases either the pressure of the gas, the volume of the gas, or both, will increase.

Hence,

Answer is option C

 Keisha follows the instructions for a demonstration on gas laws.
 1. Place a small marshmallow in a large plastic syringe.
 2. Cap the syringe tightly.
 3. Pull the plunger back to double the volume of gas in the syringe.

Now, this activity is being done at the same temperature, because there is no mention of the temperature change.  Thus, when the plunger is pulled back, the volume doubles, so pressure will decrease. Therefore, </span>This is a demonstration of Boyle’s law. As the volume increases, the pressure decreases, and the marshmallow will grow larger.

A drag racer starts her car from rest and accelerates at 5.5 m/s2 for the entire distance of 523 m. How long did it take the car
ANEK [815]

Answer:

t = 13.7 s or t = 14 s with proper significant figures

Explanation:

The initial speed is 0 m/s since the car starts from rest, acceleration is 5.5 m/s2 and distance is 523 m.

Since we have initial speed, acceleration and distance we can use the following formula to find the time. We can now use algebra to work out our answer.

d = vt + \frac{1}{2}at²

523 = (0)t + (\frac{1}{2})(5.5)t²

523 = 2.8t²

186.8 = t²

13.7 s = t

(t = 14 s with proper significant figures)

A wire with resistance R is connected to the terminals of a 6.0 V battery. What is the potential difference between the ends of
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Potential difference = 6.0 V

I for 1.0Ω = 6 A

I for 2.0Ω = 3 A

I for 3.0Ω = 2 A

Explanation:

Potential difference (ΔV) = Current (I) x Resistance (R)

The potential difference is constant and equals 6.0 V, hence;

I = ΔV/R

When R = 1.0, I =6/1 = 6 amperes

When R = 2.0, I = 6/2 = 3 amperes

When R = 3.0, I = 6/3 = 2 amperes

<em>The potential difference is 6.0 V and the current is 6, 3, and 2 amperes for a resistance of 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0Ω respectively.</em>
