Explanation:

It is given that,

A bird flies 2 km to the south, then 0.2 km to the north. The displacement of the bird is equal to the shortest path covered by it.

Initially, the bird is moving in south direction and then it move to north. Displacement can be calculated using difference between initial position and final position.

d = 2.2 km - 0.2 km = 1.8 km

Hence, the displacement of the bird is 1.8 km

It would be D because it is flying back to where it started 2-.2=1.8

Sirius A has a luminosity of 26 LSun and a surface temperature of about 9400 K.What is its radius?

wlad13 [49]

Answer

Given,

Sirius A surface temperature,T = 9400 K

Sirius A luminosity,L = 26 L₀

L₀ is the luminosity of sun.

Radius of sun = 695700000 m

Temperature on sun surface = 5780 K

Luminous intensity is given by:-

$L=4 \pi R^{2} \sigma T^{4}$

Now

$\frac{L}{L_{0}}=\frac{4 \pi R^{2} \sigma T^{4}}{4 \pi R_{0}^{2} \sigma T_{0}^{4}}=26$

$\Rightarrow \frac{R^{2} T^{4}}{R_{0}^{2} T_{0}^{4}}=26$

$\Rightarrow R^{2}=26 \times \frac{R^{2} T_{0}^{4}}{T^{4}}=26 \times \frac{695700000^{2} \times 5780^{4}}{9400^{4}}$

$R=1341246640\ m=1.34 \times 10^{9}$

Two objects, one having twice the mass of the other, are initially at rest. Two forces, one twice as big as the other, act on th

Elodia [21]

Note: There is no image to take as a reference, so I'm assuming F2 directed to the right and F1 to the left, and F2=2F1

Answer:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{F}{3M}$

to the right

Explanation:

Net Force

When several forces are applied to a particle or a system of particles, the net force is the sum of them all, considering each force as a vector. As for the second Newton's law, the total force equals the product of the mass by the acceleration of the system:

$\vec F_n=m\cdot \vec a$

If the net force is zero, then the system of particles keeps at rest or at a constant velocity.

The system of particles described in the question consists of two objects of masses m1=M and m2, where

$m_2=2m_1=2M$

Two forces F1=F and F2 act individually on each object in opposite directions and

$F_2=2F_1=2F$

We don't get to see any image to know where the forces are applied to, so we'll assume F2 to the right and F1 to the left.

The net force of the system of particles is

$F_n=2F-F=F$

The mass of the system is

$m_t=m_1+m_2=3M$

Thus, the acceleration of the center of mass of the system is

$\displaystyle a=\frac{F}{3M}$

Since F2 is greater than F1, the direction of the acceleration is to the right.

Note: If the forces were opposite than assumed, the acceleration would be to the left

The black lines that wrap themselves around a basketball represent an example of what type of geometry?

Dmitry [639]

In Euclidean geometry parallel lines never intersect. But in non-Euclidean geometry parallel lines can either curve away from each other, or curve towards each other. Example : the black lines that wrap themselves around the basketball.
Answer: B ) non-Euclidean
