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>

A piano wire has a tension of 650 N and a mass per unit length of 0.060 g/cm. What is the speed of waves on this wire
Trava [24]

Answer:

The speed of waves on this wire is 329.14 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

tension of the wire, T = 650 N

mass per unit length, μ = 0.06 g /cm  = 0.006 kg/m

(convert the unit of mass per length in g/cm to kg/m by dividing by 10 = 0.06 / 10 = 0.006 kg/m)

The speed of waves on this wire is given as;

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{650}{0.006} }\\\\v = 329.14 \ m/s

Therefore, the speed of waves on this wire is 329.14 m/s

A lightning bolt transfers 6.0 coulombs of charge from a cloud to the ground in 2.0 x 10-3 second. what is the average current d
AlladinOne [14]
The current is defined as the amount of charge transferred through a certain point in a certain time interval:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
where
I is the current
Q is the charge
\Delta t is the time interval

For the lightning bolt in our problem, Q=6.0 C and \Delta t= 2.0 \cdot 10^{-3}s, so the average current during the event is
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{6.0 C}{2.0 \cdot 10^{-3} s}=3000 A

HELP PLEASE!!
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

m=41 kg

v=0,02 ms

R=2,1 m

F-?

a=v²/R

a=(0,02) ²/2,1=0,0002

F=m*a

F=41*0,0002=0,0082 H

F=0,0082 H
