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>

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The magnetic force points in the positive z-direction, which corresponds to the upward direction.

Option 2 is correct, the force points in the upwards direction.

Explanation:

The magnetic force on any charge is given as the cross product of qv and B

F = qv × B

where q = charge on the ball thrown = +q (Since it is positively charged)

v = velocity of the charged ball = (+vî) (velocity is in the eastern direction)

B = Magnetic field = (+Bj) (Magnetic field is in the northern direction; pointing forward)

F = qv × B = (+qvî) × (Bj)

F =

| î j k |

| qv 0 0|

| 0 B 0

F = i(0 - 0) - j(0 - 0) + k(qvB - 0)

F = (qvB)k N

The force is in the z-direction.

We could also use the right hand rule; if we point the index finger east (direction of the velocity), the middle finger northwards (direction of the magnetic field), the thumb points in the upward direction (direction of the magnetic force). Hence, the magnetic force is acting upwards, in the positive z-direction too.

Hope this Helps!!!

A car traveling at 15 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 10 seconds. What is it’s acceleration
tresset_1 [31]

So the initial velocity is 15 m/s, the final velocity is 0 since it's at a complete stop and time is 10 seconds.  Therefore:

Acceleration=\frac{v_{final}-v_{initial}}{t_{final}-t_{initial}} =\frac{0m/s-15m/s}{10s-0s} =-1.5\frac{m}{s^2}

Therefore, the acceleration is -1.5 m/s^2.  The reason it's negative is due to the fact that the vector is going against it's original movement since it's decelerating.

49. A block is pushed across a horizontal surface with a
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

(a) 37.5 kg

(b) 4

Explanation:

Force, F = 150 N

kinetic friction coefficient = 0.15

(a) acceleration, a = 2.53 m/s^2

According to the newton's second law

Net force = mass x acceleration

F - friction force = m a

150 - 0.15 x m g = m a

150 = m (2.53 + 0.15 x 9.8)

m = 37.5 kg

(b) As the block moves with the constant speed so the applied force becomes the friction force.

F = \mu m g \\\\150 = \mu\times 37.5\\\\\mu = 4
