A star orbiting a black hole in a clockwise direction at a radial distance of 1.0 × 106 km is acted upon by a counterclockwise f

riction force of 250 N perpendicular to the orbit radius. What is the torque on the star?

Answer:

$2.5 \times 10^{11} N-m$ upwards

Explanation:

Torque is the vector cross product of the force and radial distance.

$\tau = rF sin \theta$

$\tau = (1.0\times 10^6 \times 10^3) m \times 250 N\times sin 90^o \\\Rightarrow \tau= 2.5 \times 10^{11} N-m$

The direction of the torque would be perpendicular to the direction of the force and radial distance. The direction of the force is counter-clockwise. The direction of the torque would be upwards.

NARA [144]

A. The difference in the two ball's time in the air is 3 seconds

B. The velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground is 24.5 m/s

C. The balls 0.500 s after they are thrown are 14.7 m apart

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

$\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }$

$\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }$

<em>a = acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>v = final velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>u = initial velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>t = time taken ( s )</em>

<em>d = distance ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

Initial Height = H = 19.6 m

Initial Velocity = u = 14.7 m/s

<u>Unknown:</u>

A. Δt = ?

B. v = ?

C. Δh = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h2>Question A:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

$h = H - ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$0 = 19.6 - 14.7t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$0 = 19.6 - 14.7t - 4.9t^2$

$4.9t^2 + 14.7t - 19.6 = 0$

$t^2 + 3t - 4 = 0$

$(t + 4)(t - 1) = 0$

$(t - 1) = 0$

$\boxed {t = 1 ~ second}$

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

$h = H + ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$0 = 19.6 + 14.7t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$0 = 19.6 + 14.7t - 4.9t^2$

$4.9t^2 - 14.7t - 19.6 = 0$

$t^2 - 3t - 4 = 0$

$(t - 4)(t + 1) = 0$

$(t - 4) = 0$

$\boxed {t = 4 ~ seconds}$

The difference in the two ball's time in the air is:

$\Delta t = 4 ~ seconds - 1 ~ second$

$\large {\boxed {\Delta t = 3 ~ seconds} }$

<h2>Question B:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

$v^2 = u^2 - 2gH$

$v^2 = (-14.7)^2 + 2(-9.8)(-19.6)$

$v^2 = 600.25$

$v = \sqrt {600.25}$

$\boxed {v = 24.5 ~ m/s}$

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

$v^2 = u^2 - 2gH$

$v^2 = (14.7)^2 + 2(-9.8)(-19.6)$

$v^2 = 600.25$

$v = \sqrt {600.25}$

$\boxed {v = 24.5 ~ m/s}$

The velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground is 24.5 m/s

<h2>Question C:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

$h = H - ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h = 19.6 - 14.7(0.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(0.5)^2$

$\boxed {h = 11.025 ~ m}$

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

$h = H + ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h = 19.6 + 14.7(0.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(0.5)^2$

$\boxed {h = 25.725 ~ m}$

The difference in the two ball's height after 0.500 s is:

$\Delta h = 25.725 ~ m - 11.025 ~ m$

$\large {\boxed {\Delta h = 14.7 ~ m} }$

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

When a an object is been rotated its resistance capacity to that rotational force is know as rotational inertia and this mathematically given as

$I = mr^2$

Where m is the mass

r is the rotation radius

For the spinning of the lamp as a baton to work the location of the center of mass of the floor lamp needs to be located

This is more likely to be located closer to base of the lamp as compared to the top, so success of spinning a floor lamp like a baton is highly likely if the lamp is grabbed closer to the base because that is where the position of its center of mass is likely to be.
