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.

Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy. If a car was released down the track from a height what happens to the potential ene
erastova [34]

Answer:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed,  although it can be changed from one form to another.    KE + PE = constant. A simple example involves a stationary car at the top of a hill.  As the car coasts down the hill, it moves faster and so it’s kinetic energy increases and it’s potential energy decreases.  On the way back up the hill, the car converts kinetic energy to potential energy.  In the absence of friction, the car should end up at the same height as it started.

This law had to be combined with the law of conservation of mass when it was determined that mass can be inter-converted with energy.

One can also imagine the energy transformation in a pendulum.  When the ball is at the top of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is potential energy.   When the ball is at the bottom of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is kinetic energy.   The total energy of the ball stays the same but is continuously exchanged between kinetic and potential forms

A sphere is charged with electrons to -6 x 10^-6C. How many electrons make up this charge? The elemental charge is 1.6 x 10^-19
just olya [345]

Answer:

3.75*10^{-13}  electrons

Explanation:

The total charge Q is the sum of the charge of the N electrons contained in the sphere:

Q=N*q_{e}

q_{e}=-1.6*10^{-19}C    charge of a electron

We solve to find N:

N=\frac{Q}{q_{e}}=\frac{-6 x 10^{-6}}{-1.6 x 10^{-19}}=3.75*10^{-13}

A current of 1.41 A in a long, straight wire produces a magnetic field of 5.61 uT at a certain distance from the wire. Find
pshichka [43]

Answer:

0.050 m

Explanation:

The strength of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}

where

\mu_0=4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} H/m is the vacuum permeability

I is the current in the wire

r is the distance from the wire

And the magnetic field around the wire forms concentric circles, and it is tangential to the circles.

In this problem, we have:

I=1.41 A (current in the wire)

B=5.61\mu T=5.61\cdot 10^{-6} T (strength of magnetic field)

Solving  for r, we find the distance  from the wire:

r=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi B}=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7})(1.41)}{2\pi (5.61\cdot 10^{-6})}=0.050 m

Write a sentence on how these words are used in real life situations
ipn [44]

Answer:

Explanation:

You can approach an expression for the instantaneous velocity at any point on the path by taking the limit as the time interval gets smaller and smaller. Such a limiting process is called a derivative and the instantaneous velocity can be defined as.#3

For the special case of straight line motion in the x direction, the average velocity takes the form: If the beginning and ending velocities for this motion are known, and the acceleration is constant, the average velocity can also be expressed as For this special case, these expressions give the same result. Example for non-constant acceleration#1

A train on a straight track goes in the positive direction for 5.9 km, and then backs up for 3.8 km
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

2.1km

Explanation:

Ill take it as u are talking about the displacement

Since displacement has negatives and positves

5.9 - 3.8 = 2.1km
