Are constellations bound together by gravity?

Physics
1 answer:
Inessa05 [86]3 years ago
7 0

No. There's no relationship among the stars in a constellation, and they're not bound together by anything. They may be many light years apart, and just happen to lie in roughly the same direction from the Earth so they appear close together as seen by US.

A constellation could be formed from the tree right in front of you, the cat in the grass next to the tree, and the house and two cars five miles away in the same direction as the tree.

They appear to form a pattern or a picture only because the human brain is hard-wired to look for familiar patterns in random stuff. The constellations exist only in our minds.

A 2.3 kg cart is rolling across a frictionless, horizontal track towards a 1.5 kg cart that is initially held at rest. The carts
Inga [223]

Answer:

total momentum = 8.42 kgm/s

velocity of the first cart is 3.660 m/s

Explanation:

Given data

mass m1 = 2.3 kg

mass m2 = 1.5 kg

final velocity V2 = 4.9 m/s

final velocity V3 = - 1.9 m/s

to find out

total momentum  and velocity of the first cart

solution

we know mass and final velocty

and initial velocity of second cart V1 = 0

so now we can calculate total momentum that is m1 v2 + m2 v2

total momentum =  2.3 ×4.9 + 1.5 ×(-1.9)

total momentum = 8.42 kgm/s

and

conservation of momentum  is

m1 V + m2 v1  = m1 v2  + m2 v3

put all value and find V

2.3 V + 1.5 ( 0) = 2.3 ( 4.9 ) + 1.5 ( -1.9)

V = 8.42 / 2.3

V = 3.660 m/s

so velocity of the first cart is 3.660 m/s

Suppose we take a 1 m long uniform bar and support it at the 33 cm mark. Hanging a 0.15 kg mass on the short end of the beam res
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The mass of the beam is 0.074 kg

Explanation:

Given;

length of the uniform bar, = 1m = 100 cm

Set up this system with the given mass and support;

  0-----------------33cm-----------------------------------100cm

  ↓                     Δ                                             ↓      

0.15kg                                                              m

Where;

m is mass of the uniform bar

Apply the principle of moment to determine the value of "m"

sum of anticlockwise moment = sum of clockwise moment

 0.15kg(33 - 0) = m(100 - 33)

0.15(33) = m(67)

m = \frac{0.15kg(33 \ cm)}{67 \ cm}\\\\m = 0.074 \ kg

Therefore, the mass of the beam is 0.074 kg
