Are constellations bound together by gravity?

Physics
1 answer:
Inessa05 [86]4 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 student throws a water balloon with speed v0 from a height h = 1.82 m at an angle θ = 29° above the horizontal toward a target
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

v_o = 7.76 m/s

Explanation:

As we projected the balloon at speed vo at an angle of 29 degree

so the two component of velocity is given as

v_x = v_ocos29 = 0.875 v_o

v_y = v_o sin29 = 0.485 v_o

now we know that in x direction we have

d = v_x t

7.5 = 0.875 v_o t

v_o t = 8.57

in y direction we have

- 1.82 = (0.485 v_o) t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

-1.82 = 0.485(8.57) - 4.9 t^2

t = 1.1 s

now we have

v_o = 7.76 m/s
