Three different planet-star systems, which are far apart from one another, are shown above. The masses of the planets are much l

ess than the masses of the stars.
In System A , Planet A of mass Mp orbits Star A of mass Ms in a circular orbit of radius R .

In System B , Planet B of mass 4Mp orbits Star B of mass Ms in a circular orbit of radius R .

In System C , Planet C of mass Mp orbits Star C of mass 4Ms in a circular orbit of radius R .
(a) The gravitational force exerted on Planet A by Star A has a magnitude of F0 . Determine the magnitudes of the gravitational forces exerted in System B and System C .

___ Magnitude of gravitational force exerted on Planet B by Star B

___ Magnitude of gravitational force exerted on Planet C by Star C
(b) How do the tangential speeds of planets B and C compare to that of Planet A ? In a clear, coherent paragraph-length response that may also contain equations and/or drawings, provide claims about

why the tangential speed of Planet B is either greater than, less than, or the same as that of Planet A , and
why the tangential speed of Planet C is either greater than, less than, or the same as that of Planet A .

a) 4F0

b) Speed of planet B is the same as speed of planet A

Speed of planet C is twice the speed of planet A

Explanation:

a)

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by the formula

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the 2 objects

r is the separation between the objects

For the system planet A - Star A, we have:

m_1=M_p\\m_2 = M_s\\r=R

So the force is

F_A=G\frac{M_p M_s}{R^2}=F_0

For the system planet B - Star B, we have:

m_1 = 4 M_p\\m_2 = M_s\\r=R

So the force is

F=G\frac{4M_p M_s}{R^2}=4F_0

So, the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on planet B by star B is 4F0.

For the system planet C - Star C, we have:

m_1 = M_p\\m_2 = 4M_s\\r=R

So the force is

F=G\frac{M_p (4M_s)}{R^2}=4F_0

So, the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on planet C by star C is 4F0.

b)

The gravitational force on the planet orbiting around the star is equal to the centripetal force, therefore we can write:

G\frac{mM}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

m is the mass of the planet

M is the mass of the star

v is the tangential speed

We can re-arrange the equation solving for v, and we find an expression for the speed:

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

For System A,

M=M_s\\r=R

So the tangential speed is

v_A=\sqrt{\frac{GM_s}{R}}

For system B,

M=M_s\\r=R

So the tangential speed is

v_B=\sqrt{\frac{GM_s}{R}}=v_A

So, the speed of planet B is the same as planet A.

For system C,

M=4M_s\\r=R

So the tangential speed is

v_C=\sqrt{\frac{G(4M_s)}{R}}=2(\sqrt{\frac{GM_s}{R}})=2v_A

So, the speed of planet C is twice the speed of planet A.

A certain field line diagram illustrates the electric field due to three particles that carry charges 5.0 μC, -3.0 μC, and -2.0
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

Number of lines emanate from + 5 micro coulomb is 15 .

They terminates at negative charges that means at - 3 micro coulomb and - 2 micro Coulomb.

the electric field lines terminates at - 3 micro Coulomb and - 2 micro Coulomb is in the ratio of 3 : 2.

So the lines terminating at - 3 micro coulomb

                                    = \frac{3}{5}\times 15 = 9

So the lines terminating at - 2 micro coulomb

                                    = \frac{2}{5}\times 15 = 6

So, the number of filed lines terminates at - 2 micro Coulomb are 6.

Why is the recruitment and selection of staff the concern of all managers in an organization? ​
leva [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is a concern to managers in an organization because it is important for the organization to get the number and quality of staffs needed to attain the goals and objectives of the organization.

Selection and recruitment is also important in order to ensure the continuity of the company , it will also fulfills the organisations job requirements and also this provide a pool of employees in which the management will have to choose the right or best candidates for the job position.

A metal sphere with a mass of 0.026 kg rolls along a friction-less surface at 3.7 m/s and strikes a stationary sphefe having a m
zubka84 [21]

The force applied to the second ball by the first ball is 6.734 × 10^-4 N.

<h3>What is impulse of force?</h3>

The impulse of force is defined as the sum of the average force and the duration it is applied.

If the mass of the item remains constant, the impulse of force equals the change in momentum of the object.

Given that:  mass of a metal sphere: m = 0.026 kg.

Initial speed of the sphere: u = 3.7 m/s.

When the sphere stops completely, its change in momentum = mu - 0

= 0.026×3.7 N-s.

= 0.0962 N-s.

As the spheres are in contact for 0.007s before the second sphere is shot off down the track, the force applied  to the second ball =

change in momentum of 1st ball × time of contact

= 0.0962 × 0.007 N

= 0.0006734 N

= 6.734 × 10^-4 N.

Hence,  the force applied  to the second ball is  6.734 × 10^-4 N.
