Astar has a mass of 1.48 x 1030 kg and is moving in a circular orbit about the center of its galaxy. the radius of the orbit is 1.9 x 104 light-years (1 light-year = 9.5 x 1015 m), and the angular speed of the star is 1.8 x 10-15 rad/s. (a) determine the tangential speed of the star. (b) what is the magnitude of the net force that acts on the star to keep it moving around the center of the galaxy?

Abatter hits the baseball a with an initial velocity of v0 = 110 ft/sec directly toward fielder b at an angle of 23° to the horizontal; the initial position of the ball is 2.2 ft above ground level. fielder b requires 0.44 sec to judge where the ball should be caught and begins moving to that position with constant speed. because of great experience, fielder b chooses his running speed so that he arrives at the “catch position” simultaneously with the baseball. the catch position is the field location at which the ball altitude is 8.4 ft. determine the velocity of the ball relative to the fielder at the instant the catch is made.

Scientist have use computer models to create a series of maps that show how susceptible coastal cities in island countries are to the sea rising at different levels.the map shows that a 1 meter rise would swap cities all along the us eastern seaboard. a 6-meter sea level rise with sub merge a large part of florida. thermal expansion has already raise the oceans 10 to 20 centimeters the most likely cause,directly and indirectly, for such a rise in sea level is

Global climatic patterns are changing because of the melting of polar ice caps. the melting of polar ice caps is an example of the interaction between the atmosphere and cryosphere cryosphere and geosphere hydrosphere and geosphere biosphere and cryosphere
