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

What is the force per unit area at this point acting normal to the surface with unit nor- Side View √√ mal vector n = (1/ 2)ex +

Mumz [18]

Complete Question:

Given $\sigma = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right]$ at a point. What is the force per unit area at this point acting normal to the surface with $\b n = (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z$ ? Are there any shear stresses acting on this surface?

Answer:

Force per unit area, $\sigma_n = 28 MPa$

There are shear stresses acting on the surface since $\tau \neq 0$

Explanation:

$\sigma = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right]$

equation of the normal, $\b n = (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z$

$\b n = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\end{array}\right]$

Traction vector on n, $T_n = \sigma \b n$

$T_n = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\end{array}\right]$

$T_n = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{27}{\sqrt{33} }\end{array}\right]$

$T_n = \frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z$

To get the Force per unit area acting normal to the surface, find the dot product of the traction vector and the normal.

$\sigma_n = T_n . \b n$

$\sigma \b n = (\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z) . ((1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + 0 \b e_y +(1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z)\\\\\sigma \b n = 28 MPa$

If the shear stress, $\tau$ , is calculated and it is not equal to zero, this means there are shear stresses.

$\tau = T_n - \sigma_n \b n$

$\tau = [\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z] - 28( (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z)\\\\\tau = [\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z] - [ (28/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (28/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z]\\\\\tau = \frac{-5}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{5}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z$

$\tau = \sqrt{(-5/\sqrt{2})^2 + (27/\sqrt{2})^2 + (5/\sqrt{2})^2} \\\\ \tau = 19.74 MPa$

Since $\tau \neq 0$ , there are shear stresses acting on the surface.

A woman 5.5 ft walks at a rate of 6 ft/sec towards a street light that is 22 ft above the ground. At what rate is the length of

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The length of her shadow is changing at the rate -2 m/s

Explanation:

Let the height oh the street light, h = 22 ft

Let the height of the woman, w = 5.5 ft

Horizontal distance to the street light = l

length of shadow = x

h/w = (l + x)/x

22/5.5 = (l + x)/x

4x = l + x

3x = l

x = 1/3 l

taking the derivative with respect to t of both sides

dx/dt = 1/3 dl/dt

dl/dt = -6 ft/sec ( since the woman is walking towards the street light, the value of l is decreasing with time)

dx/dt = 1/3 * (-6)

dx/dt = -2 m/s

Free Fall: A rock is thrown directly upward from the edge of a flat roof of a building that is 56.3 meters tall. The rock misses

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

v₀₁= 5.525 m / s

Explanation

Freefall Formulas :

The sign of acceleration due to gravity (g) is positive if the object is going down and negative if the object is going up.

vf= v₀+gt

vf²=v₀²+2*g*h

h= v₀t+ (1/2)*g*t²

Where:

h: hight in meters (m)

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s

vf: final speed in m/s

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Kinematics of the rock from the starting point with vo until it reaches its maximum height:

vf₁= v₀₁-gt₁ :vf₁ =0 to maximum height

0= v₀₁-gt₁

v₀₁ = g*t₁

t₁ =v₀₁ / g Equation (1)

vf₁²= v₀₁²-2*g*h₁ : vf₁ =0 to maximum height

0 = v₀₁²-2*g*h₁

2*g*h₁ = v₀₁²

h₁ = (v₀₁²)/(2g) Equation (2)

Kinematics of the rock when it falls from the maximum height until it touches the floor

h₂= v₀₂t+ (1/2)*g*t₂² v₀₂=vf₁ =0

h₂= 0+ (1/2)*g*t₂²

h₂= (1/2)*g*t₂² Equation (3)

Equation that relates h₁ to h₂

h₂= h₁ + 56.3 , h₁ = (v₀₁²)/(2g)

h₂= (v₀₁²)/(2g) + 56.3 Equation (4)

Equation that relates t₁ to t₂

t₁ + t₂ =4 s

t₂ =4 -t₁

t₂ =4 -(v₀₁/g )

Calculation of v₀₁

We replace equation 4 and equation 5 in equation 3

(v₀₁²)/(2g) + 56.3 = (1/2)*g*(4 -(v₀₁/g ) )²

(v₀₁²)/(2g) + 56.3 = (1/2)*g* (16 - 2*4*(v₀₁/g )+((v₀₁/g )²)

we eliminate (v₀₁²)/(2g) on both sides of the equation

56.3 = (1/2)*g* (16 - 2*4*(v₀₁/g ))

56.3 = 78.4 - 4*v₀₁

4*v₀₁ =78.4-56.3

v₀₁= (78.4-56.3) / ( 4)

v₀₁= 5.525 m / s
