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 wave of frequency 90 mega in 3 micro seconds. Calculate its wave length. hertz travels 6 km​
gladu [14]

the wavelength is 2.2m

wavelength can be calculated by formula wavelength = velocity / frequency so here first we need to find the velocity so velocity is distance travelled/time taken that 2 X 10^8 m/s now wavelength is =  2 X 10^8/ 90=2.2m.

Waves are signals that can go through various media, including wire in the case of an electrical AC current, water, light, and other media. The separation between two identical points on a sinusoidal wave is known as the wavelength. You can determine how long there is between each wave's peak and each wave's trough if you know the frequency of the wave moving through the medium.

How much electrical energy is used by a 400 W toaster that is operating for 5 minutes?
Shkiper50 [21]

The electrical energy consumed by a toaster is 0.033 Kwh.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The power utilized by the toaster is 400 W.

\text { The power utilized by the toaster is } 400 \mathrm{W} \text { in kilo-watts is } \frac{400}{1000}=0.4 \mathrm{Kw}

The toaster is operated for 5 Minutes.

\text { The toaster is operated for } 5 \text { Minutes in hours is } \frac{5}{60}=0.083 \text { hours. (One minute is } 60 \text { seconds) }

We know that,

\text {power}=\frac{\text {energy}}{\text {time}}

Substitute the values in the above formula to obtain electrical energy,

0.4=\frac{\text { energy }}{0.083}

Electrical energy = 0.4 × 0.083

Electrical energy is 0.033 Kwh.

What force controls the movement of the planets around the sun, holds together stars grouped in galaxies, and galaxies grouped i
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Gravity.

Explanation:

The force that controls the movement of the planets around the sun, holds together stars grouped in galaxies, and galaxies grouped in clusters is called gravity.

This ultimately implies that, gravity is considered to be a universal force of attraction that acts between all objects that has both mass, energy and occupy space. Therefore, it acts in such a way as to bring objects together.

Additionally, the gravity of earth makes it possible for all physical objects to possess weight.

Weight can be defined as the force acting on a body or an object as a result of gravity.

Mathematically, weight is given by the formula;

Weight = mg

Where;

m is the mass of an object.

g is acceleration due to gravity.
