Answer:

Of the three stars in the system, the dimmest - called Proxima Centauri - is actually the nearest star to the Sun. The two bright stars, called Alpha Centauri A and B form a close binary system; they are separated by only 23 times the Earth - Sun distance.

4. A trolley of mass 2kg rests next to a trolley of mass 3 kg on a flat
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. The total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation is 12 kg·m/s

d. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley is -12 kg·m/s

e. The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -4 m/s

Explanation:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. By the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the trolleys after separation = The total momentum of the trolleys before separation = 0

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation = Mass × Velocity = 2 kg × 6 m/s = 12 kg·m/s

d. Given that the total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero, the momentum of the 3 kg trolley is equal and opposite to the momentum of the 2 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

e. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = Mass of the 3 kg Trolley × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley

∴ The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = 3 kg × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s/(3 kg) = -4 m/s

The voyager 1 spacecraft is currently 20.7 billion km from earth and heading out of our solar system. how long does it take radi
sveta [45]

Answer:

20.7 billion = 20.7E9        converting to units of 10

20.7E9 km = 20.7E12 m

t = S /v = 20.7E12 m / 3.0E8 m/s = 6.9E4 s = 69000 s

69000 s = 1150 min = 19.2 hrs

1. Consider the point exactly halfway between the two wires. Can you adjust the current so that, with current passing through ea
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is missing part of the question

answer:

1 )  Magnetic field due to long current carrying wire : B = \frac{U_{0} I}{2\pi d}

Therefore the net magnetic field due the both wires ; B = B_{1} + B_{2} . when we adjust the current I_{1} = I_{2} then the Netfield (B ) = zero

2) The distance between the field lines are not equally spaced and this is because the separation between field lines increases with the increase in the distance between the wires

3) Increase in current through the wire will lead to increase in force and this can be explained via this equation

F = \frac{U_{0}I_{1}I_{2}   }{2\pi d }

Explanation:

1 )  Magnetic field due to long current carrying wire : B = \frac{U_{0} I}{2\pi d}

Therefore the net magnetic field due the both wires ; B = B_{1} + B_{2} . when we adjust the current I_{1} = I_{2} then the Netfield (B ) = zero
