If 12 coulombs of electric charge pass a point in 4.0

Two neutron stars are separated by a distance of 1.0 x 1012 m. They each have a mass of 1.0 x 1028 kg and a radius of 1.0 x 103

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Gravitational Potential Energy.

Gravitational potential energy can be defined as

$PE = -\frac{GMm}{R}$

As M=m, then

$PE = -\frac{Gm^2}{R}$

Where,

m = Mass

G =Gravitational Universal Constant

R = Distance /Radius

PART A) As half its initial value is u'=2u, then

$U = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}$

$dU = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}$

$dKE = -dU$

Therefore replacing we have that,

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =\frac{Gm^2}{2R}$

Re-arrange to find v,

$v= \sqrt{\frac{Gm}{R}}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*1*10^{28}}{1*10^{12}}}$

$v = 816.7m/s$

Therefore the velocity when the separation has decreased to one-half its initial value is 816m/s

PART B) With a final separation distance of 2r, we have that

$2r = 2*10^3m$

Therefore

$dU = Gm^2(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{2r})$

$v = \sqrt{Gm(\frac{1}{2r}-\frac{1}{R})}$

$v = \sqrt{6.67*10^{-11}*10^{28}(\frac{1}{2*10^3}-\frac{1}{10^{12}})}$

$v = 1.83*10^7m/s$

Therefore the velocity when they are about to collide is $1.83*10^7m/s$

A satellite completes one revolution of a planet in almost exactly one hour. At the end of one hour, the satellite has traveled

topjm [15]

average velocity is vector displacement / time

time is "almost exactly one hour"

disp = -10m

v= -10/1x60x60 = -1/360m/s

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can be seen by humans

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Visible light

Explanation:

Electromagnetic spectrum is the classification of the electromagnetic waves according to their frequency/wavelength. In order from the shortest to the longest wavelength, we have

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves

All these waves are invisible to human eye, except for the part referred as 'visible light'. The electromagnetic waves of this part of the spectrum are visible to human eye, and they appear as a different color depending on their wavelength. In particular, we have:

Violet: 380-450 nm

Blue: 450-495 nm

Green: 495-570 nm

Yellow: 570-590 nm

Orange: 590-620 nm

Red: 620-750 nm

What is the difference between the law of conservation of energy and conserving energy

babymother [125]

law of conservation of energy is states that energy of the universe remains constant cant be created nor destroyed and conserving energy is not using as much power as you was like trying to make power bill lower while law of conservation is constant

Three observers watch a train pull away from a station toward the right of the platform. Observer A is in one of the train’s car

juin [17]

Observer A is moving inside the train

so here observer A will not be able to see the change in position of train as he is standing in the same reference frame

So here as per observer A the train will remain at rest and its not moving at all

Observer B is standing on the platform so here it is a stationary reference frame which is outside the moving body

So here observer B will see the actual motion of train which is moving in forward direction away from the platform

Observer C is inside other train which is moving in opposite direction on parallel track. So as per observer C the train is coming nearer to him at faster speed then the actual speed because they are moving in opposite direction

So the distance between them will decrease at faster rate

Now as per Newton's II law

F = ma

Now if train apply the brakes the net force on it will be opposite to its motion

So we can say

- F = ma

$a = \frac{-F}{m}$

so here acceleration negative will show that train will get slower and its distance with respect to us is now increasing with less rate

It is not affected by the gravity because the gravity will cause the weight of train and this weight is always counterbalanced by normal force on the train

So there is no effect on train motion
