Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (450 km) / (100 m/s)

Time = (450,000 m) / (100 m/s)

Time = <em>4500 seconds </em>(that's 75 minutes)

Note:

This is about HALF the speed of the passenger jet you fly in when you go to visit Grandma for Christmas.

If the International Space Station flew at this speed, it would immediately go ker-PLUNK into the ocean.

The speed of the International Space Station in its orbit is more like 3,100 m/s, not 100 m/s.

The correct answer is option A

The binary star system is the system in which two stars are continuously orbiting each other,

In the eclipsing binary system, two stars revolve about there center of mass and in this system one one-star eclipse another star.

Spectroscopic binary stars are found from the observation of radial velocity and the brighter member of such binary can be seen to have continuously changed the wavelength and periodic velocity.

When the pairs of stars appear to change position in the sky then it is known as visual binary.

stich3 [128]

Answer:

$f = 556.4 N$

Explanation:

Mass of the losing player with its all equipment is given as

M = 86 kg

Net force applied on him by another player is given as

F = 780 N

also we know that acceleration of the losing player is given as

$a = 2.6 m/s^2$

now by Newton's 2nd law we will have

$F - f = ma$

$780 - f = 86(2.6)$

$780 - f = 223.6$

$f = 556.4 N$
