A star is born when clouds of dust and elements are gathered together in a certain space due to gravity, more and more mass and therefore pressure builds. When the pressure becomes enough to overcome the electronic repulsive force between two hydrogen nuclei, they are forced together and massive amounts of energy are given off forming helium atoms. This energy is then used to fuse other nuclei together. This could be compared to the way human life starts, where instead of 2 nuclei joining together to start a life cycle, two gametes, or sex cells are joined together. Also at the start of both a star and persons life, we are weak and we gain strength until we reach the height of our existence, then humans slowly become less efficient at doing what they do until eventually they cannot sustain themselves any further.

Force F → = (−8.0 N)iˆ + (6.0 N)jˆ acts on a particle with position vector r → = (3.0 m)iˆ + (4.0 m)jˆ. What are (a) the torque

disa [49]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

$F=-8\hat{i}+6\hat{j}$

$r=3\hat{i}+4\hat{j}$

a.We have to find the torque on the particle about the origin.

We know that

Torque= $\tau=r\times F=\begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\3&4&0\\-8&6&0\end{vmatrix}$

By using the formula

$\tau=50\hat{k}$

b. $\mid \tau\mid =\mid F\mid \mid r\mid sin\theta$

$\mid F\mid=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(6)^2}=10$

$\mid r\mid=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}=5$

$\mid \tau\mid=\sqrt{(-50)^2}=50$

Substitute the values then we get

$50=10\times 5 sin\theta$

$sin\theta=\frac{50}{50}=1$

$sin\theta=sin90^{\circ}$

Because $sin90^{\circ}=1$

$\theta=90^{\circ}$

A freight car moves along a friction less level railroad track at constant speed. The car is open on top. A large load of coal i

maxonik [38]

Answer:

The velocity of the freight car decreases.

Explanation:

This question is answered by the conservation of momentum principle.

When the freight car is moving at a certain speed, it has a constant momentum.

We will call this M1.

The equation for M1 will be:

M1 = Mass * Speed

Now when the coal is dumped into the freight car, the Mass increases.

Since conservation of momentum states that the momentum will remain the same. We have:

M1 = (Mass of freight + Mass of coal) * Speed

Since M1 is constant, if the mass increases, the speed had to decrease to keep the equation true.
