A few years ago, an X-ray telescope detected a source called Cygnus X-3, whose intensity changed with a period of 4.8 hours. Thi

s type of astronomical object emitting periodic signals could be a binary X-ray source, which is a star that is in orbit around a much more massive black hole. The period of the X-ray signal is then the period of the star’s orbit. If the distance between the centers of the star and the black hole is one-fiftieth of the distance between the centers of the Earth and our Sun, then determine how many times more massive the black hole is than our Sun. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Answer:

Explanation:

The star is revolving the black hole like earth revolves around the sun .so time period of rotation  T is given by the following relation

T² = \frac{4\pi^2\times R^3}{GM } , R is distance between black hole and star , M is mass of black hole

Given T = 4.8 hours

4.8² =  \frac{4\pi^2\times R^3}{GM }

Using the same equation for earth sun system

24² =  \frac{4\pi^2\times (50R)^3}{GM_s }  , Ms is mass of the sun and 50R is distance between the sun and the earth .

Dividing the equation

(\frac{4.8}{24})^2 = \frac{M_s}{M}\times\frac{1^3}{50^3}

\frac{M}{M_s} = 2x 10⁻⁴

What kind of variation is there in the mechanical energy as the cart rolls down the ramp? Does this agree with your prediction?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

 Em₀ = U = m g h ,  Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

Explanation:

When a car is on a ramp it has a certain amount of mechanical energy. At the highest point of the ramp the mechanical energy is fully potential given by

          Em₀ = U = m g h

As part of this energy descends down the ramp, part of this energy is transformed into kinetic energy and has one part of each, even though the sum remains the initial energy

            Em = K + U = ½ m v² + mg y

        y <h

when it reaches the bottom of the ramp it has no height therefore there is no potential energy, all of it has been transformed into kinetic energy

          Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

This energy transformation is in the case that the friction force is zero.

If there is a friction force, it performs work against the low car, it is reflected in an increase in the internal energy (temperature) of the car. In this case the energy in the lower part is less than the initial one by a factor

         W_{nc} = - fr L

therefore the numeraire values ​​of the velocity are lower, due to the energy lost by friction.

If a current is two amps and the resistance is 3 ohms, how much voltage was needed?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

6 V

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage in the circuit

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this problem, we know the current, I=2 A, and the resistance, R=3 \Omega, therefore we can find the voltage in the circuit:

V=RI=(3 \Omega )(2 A)=6 V

Consider two transformers. Transformer A has 300 turns on its primary and 500 turns on its secondary. Transformer B has 250 turn
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Secondary voltage on second transformer is 200 volt.

Explanation:

It is given two transformer

Let us consider first transformer.

Number of turns in primary N_p=300

Numb er of turns in secondary N_s=500

Now consider second transformer

Number of turns in primary N_p=250

Number of turns in secondary N_s=1000

Now it is given that same voltage of 50 volt is applied to primary of both the transformer.

For second transformer

\frac{N_p}{N_s}=\frac{V_p}{V_s}

\frac{250}{1000}=\frac{50}{V_s}

V_s=200volt

So secondary voltage on second transformer is 200 volt

When atoms form a bond, it is usually because each atom acquires a more stable arrangement of electrons in its electron shells.
liraira [26]
C. Usually when an atom loses or gains an electron, it is because it is trying to satisfy the Octet Rule. The Octet Rule states that an atom is at its stablest when it has 8 valence electrons (two in helium's case)

If you look on the periodic table, elements on the left (Alkaline Metals) are the most reactive because they only have one valence electron (or electron in the outer shell). Elements on the right (Noble Gases) are the least reactive because they have a full outer shell of 8 valence electrons.

Later on you will find that as stability decreases as you go down the periodic table but that is a discussion for a different time.

Ricardo and Jane are standing under a tree in the middle of a pasture. An argument ensues, and they walk away in different direc
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

a)     d = 30.79 m , b) θ = -22.4° ,   θ = 22.4 South of East

Explanation:

The easiest way to solve problems with vectors is to use their components, for this the East-West direction coincides with the x-axis and the North-South direction coincides with the y-axis

Let's use the index for / Ricardo and the index for Jane, let's break down the displacements

Richard

X axis

      x₁ = 26.0 sin (60)

      x₁ = -22.52 m

Y Axis  

     y₁ = 26.0 cos 60

     y₁ = 13 m / s

Jane

X axis

       x₂ = 16.0 cos (180 +30)

       x₂ = -13.85 m

Y Axis  

        y₂ = 16.0 sin (180 + 30)

        y₂ = - 8.0 m

Now we can use Pythagoras' theorem to find the distance between them

         d = √ [(x₂ -x₁)² + (y₂ -y₁)²]

         d = √ [(-13.85 + 22.52)² + (-8 -13)²]

         d = 30.79 m

Let's use trigonometry to enter the address

         tan θ = Δy / Δx

         θ = tan⁻¹ Δy / Δx

         θ = tan⁻¹ (-13.85 + 22.52) / (-8 - 13)

         θ = tan⁻¹ (-8.67 / 21)

         θ = -22.4°

The negative sign indicates that the angle is measured from the axis clockwise.

In the form of cardinal s point is

     θ = 22.4 South of East
