The X-ray source Cygnus X-1 has a mass of at least 11 solar masses and a diameter of only about one-quarter the diameter of the

Earth. With such a small diameter it must be a compact object, and with such a large mass it can't be a white dwarf or a neutron star, so a black hole is the only possibility remaining. How was the diameter of Cygnus X-1 found

This is a two part question: What is the force of friction acting on a 100 kg steel slab at rest on a steel floor?
Crazy boy [7]
1) 0N... friction opposes the motion of an object, since the block is at rest there is no motion thus no friction

2) F=ma
= (5.5kg)(30m/s)
=165 N

Think about it: suppose a meteorite collided head-on with mars and becomes buried under mars's surface. what would be the elasti
Ket [755]

Answer:

Perfectly inelastic collision

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

1. Elastic collision : When the momentum of the system and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved, the collision is said to be elastic. For example, the collision of two atoms or molecules are considered to be elastic collision.

2. Inelastic collision: When the momentum  the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved, the collision is said to be inelastic. For example, collision of a ball with the mud.

For a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies stick together after collision.

Here, the meteorite collide with the Mars and buried inside it, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. here the kinetic energy of a body lost completely during the collision.

Which is not a source of electrical energy in the United States
xenn [34]

Every practical source of energy that you can imagine, as well as a few impractical ones, are used somewhere in the USA.

From whale oil in Alaska, to nuclear energy, to coal, petroleum, natural gas, solar energy, wind energy, and biomass.

Oh ! Geothermal energy and tidal energy aren't too popular, but I'll bet if you looked, you'd find these used too, SOMEwhere in the 50 states.
