The constellation Canis Minor has a binary star system consisting of Procyon A and Procyon B. Procyon A, at 3×1030kg, has 2.5 ti

mes the mass of Procyon B; and they are roughly 2×1012m apart. How does the force on Procyon A from Procyon B compare to the force on Procyon B from Procyon A?

This question involves the concepts of Newton's Law of Gravitation and mass.

The force on Procyon A from Procyon B will be "equal" to the force on Procyon B from Procyon A, which has a value of "3.75 x 10²⁶ N".

Applying Newton's Law of Gravitation, we can find the force on Procyon A from Procyon B, which is equal to the force on Procyon B from Procyon A:

F=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

where,

F = force = ?

G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

m₁ = mass of Procyon A = 3 x 10³⁰ kg

m₂ = mass of Procyon B = (2.5)(3 x 10³⁰ kg) = 7.5 x 10³⁰ kg

r = distance between them = 2 x 10¹² m

Therefore,

F=\frac{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ N.m^2/kg^2)(3\ x\ 10^{30}\ kg)(7.5\ x\ 10^{30}\ kg)}{(2\ x\ 10^{12}\ m)^2}

<u>F = 3.75 x 10²⁶ N</u>

Answer:

the pressure at B is 527psf

Explanation:

Angular velocity, ω = v / r

ω = 20 /1.5

= 13.333 rad/s

Flow equation from point A to B

P_A+rz_A-\frac{1}{2} Pr_A^2w^2=P_B+rz_B-\frac{1}{2} pr^2_Bw^2\\\\P_B = P_A + r(z_A-z_B)+\frac{1}{2} pw^2[(r_B^2)-(r_A)^2]\\\\P_B = [25 +(0.8+62.4)(0-1)+\frac{1}{2}(0.8\times1.94)\times(13.333)^2[2.5^2-1.5^2]  ]\\\\P_B = 25 - 49.92+551.79\\\\P_B = 526.87psf\\\approx527psf

the pressure at B is 527psf

In a vacuum, two particles have charges of q1 and q2, where q1 = +3.11 μC. They are separated by a distance of 0.241 m, and part
lesya [120]

Answer:

Charge of particle 2, q_2=-7.13\ \mu C

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, q_1=3.11\ \mu C=3.11\times 10^{-6}\ C

The distance between charges, r = 0.241 m

Force experienced by particle 1, F = 3.44 N

We need to find the magnitude of electric charge 2. It can be calculated using formula of electrostatic force. It is given by :

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

q_2=\dfrac{Fr^2}{kq_1}

q_2=\dfrac{3.44\times (0.241)^2}{9\times 10^9\times 3.11\times 10^{-6}}

q_2=7.13\times 10^{-6}\ C

or

q_2=7.13\ \mu C

So, the magnitude of electric charge 2 is q_2=7.13\ \mu C. Since, the force is attractive then the magnitude of charge 2 must be negative.

Polly is pushing a box across the floor with a force of 30 N. The force of gravity is -8 N, and the normal force is 8 N. Which
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Force of friction is (-30 N).

Explanation:

The force applied on the  box across the floor is 30 N.

The force of gravity is (-8 N) and the the normal force is 8 N.

It is based on Newton's third law of motion. Newton's third law of motion states that the force acting on object 1 to object 2 is equal in magnitude of the force from object 2 to 1 but in opposite direction.

Here there is force of 30 N is applied in horizontal direction. The frictional force act in opposite direction. So, the force of friction is -30 N so that box across the floor.
