Two stars M1 and M2 of equal mass make up a binary star system. They move in a circular orbit that has its center at the midpoin

t of the line that separates them. If M1-M2-6.95 sm (solar mass), and the orbital period of each star is 2.20 days, find their orbital speed. (The mass of the sun is 1.99x 1030 kg.) km/s M2

Answer:

V = 365643.04 m/s

Explanation:

mass of the sun = 1.99 x 10^{30} kg

mass of M1 = mass of M2 = 6.95 solar mass = 6.95 x 1.99 x 10^{30} = 13.8305x 10^{30} kg

orbital period of each star (T) = 2.20 days = 2.20 x 24 x 60 x 60 =190,080 s

gravitational constant (G) = 6.67 x 10^{-11} N m2/kg2

orbital speed (V) = $\sqrt{\frac{G(M1+M2)}{r} }$

we need to find the orbital radius (r) before we can apply the formula above and we can get it from Kepler's third law, $T^{2} = r^{3}$ x k

where

T = orbital period

r = orbital radius

k = $\frac{4n^{2} }{G(M1+M2)}$ (take note that π is shown as $n$ )

making r the subject of the formula we now have

$r = (\frac{G(M1+M2).T^{2}}{4n^{2} } )^{\frac{1}{3} }$ (take note that π is shown as $n$ )

$r = (\frac{ 6.67 x 10^{-11} ( 13.8305x 10^{30}+ 13.8305x 10^{30} )x190080^{2}}{4x3.142^{2} } )^{\frac{1}{3} }$

r = 1.38 x 10^{10} m

Now that we have the orbital radius (r) we can substitute all required values into the formula for orbital speed

orbital speed (V) = $\sqrt{\frac{G(M1+M2)}{r} }$

$V = \sqrt{\frac{6.67 x 10^{-11} ( 13.8305x 10^{30}+ 13.8305x 10^{30}}{1.38 x 10^{10} } }\\$

V = 365643.04 m/s

During lightning strikes from a cloud to the ground, currents as high as 2.50×10^4 Amps can occur and last for about 40.0 micros

dangina [55]

Answer:

1 C

Explanation:

The intensity of electric current is defined as

$I=\frac{q}{t}$

where

I is the current

q is the amount of charge transferred

t is the time interval during which the charge is transferred

For the lightning in this problem, we have

$I=2.50\cdot 10^4 A$ is the current

$t=40.0 \mu s = 40.0\cdot 10^{-6} s$ is the time interval

Solving the formula for q, we find the amount of charge transferred:

$q=I t = (2.50\cdot 10^4 A)(40.0\cdot 10^{-6}s)=1 C$

"In a Young’s double-slit experiment, the separation between slits is d and the screen is a distance D from the slits. D is much

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is, $x=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$

Explanation:

If d is the separation between slits, D is the distance between the slit and the screen and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light. Let x is the number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is given by :

$x=\dfrac{n\lambda D}{d}$

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

n is the order

If n = 1,

$x=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$

So, the the number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is $\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$ . Hence, the correct option is (B).

Zero, a hypothetical planet, has a mass of 5.3 x 1023 kg, a radius of 3.3 x 106 m, and no atmosphere. A 10 kg space probe is to

Andrej [43]

(a) $3.1\cdot 10^7 J$

The total mechanical energy of the space probe must be constant, so we can write:

$E_i = E_f\\K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f$ (1)

where

$K_i$ is the kinetic energy at the surface, when the probe is launched

$U_i$ is the gravitational potential energy at the surface

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy of the probe

$U_i$ is the final gravitational potential energy

Here we have

$K_i = 5.0 \cdot 10^7 J$

at the surface, $R=3.3\cdot 10^6 m$ (radius of the planet), $M=5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg$ (mass of the planet) and m=10 kg (mass of the probe), so the initial gravitational potential energy is

$U_i=-G\frac{mM}{R}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{3.3\cdot 10^6 m}=-1.07\cdot 10^8 J$

At the final point, the distance of the probe from the centre of Zero is

$r=4.0\cdot 10^6 m$

so the final potential energy is

$U_f=-G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{4.0\cdot 10^6 m}=-8.8\cdot 10^7 J$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the final kinetic energy:

$K_f = K_i + U_i - U_f = 5.0\cdot 10^7 J+(-1.07\cdot 10^8 J)-(-8.8\cdot 10^7 J)=3.1\cdot 10^7 J$

(b) $6.3\cdot 10^7 J$

The probe reaches a maximum distance of

$r=8.0\cdot 10^6 m$

which means that at that point, the kinetic energy is zero: (the probe speed has become zero):

$K_f = 0$

At that point, the gravitational potential energy is

$U_f=-G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{8.0\cdot 10^6 m}=-4.4\cdot 10^7 J$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the initial kinetic energy:

$K_i = K_f + U_f - U_i = 0+(-4.4\cdot 10^7 J)-(-1.07\cdot 10^8 J)=6.3\cdot 10^7 J$

If a 25 kg object is moving at a velocity of 10 m/s, the object has<br> energy. Calculate it.

Paul [167]

Answer: Your answer is 1250J

Explanation:

K E = 1/2 m v 2

The mass is

m = 25 k g

The velocity is v = 10 m s − 1

So,

K E = 1 /2 x25 x 10 2^2= 1250 J
