Binary star systems are thought to form when
A) gravity pulls two neighboring protostars quite close together, but angular momentum causes them to orbit each other rather than collide. B) two interstellar gas clouds happen to contract so close together that there's no room for a disk or planets. C) the protostellar disk around a protostar has enough material to form a second star. D) a protostar emits two jets, each of which turns into a star.
Consider the three items from Part A that are not relevant to the giant impact hypothesis. As you’ll learn in later chapters, the lack of volcanoes is a result of the Moon’s relatively small size. But what explains the other two items — the Moon’s synchronous rotation and gradually increasing distance from Earth?
a. Both are results of the Moon’s small size. b. Both are results of tidal interactions between the Moon and Earth. c. Synchronous rotation is simply a coincidence, and this coincidence in turn causes the Moon to move farther away with time. d. The giant impact would have caused the Moon to rotate synchronously, and the outward fling from the impact would explain the increasing distance.
An object of mass m moves to the right with a speed v. It collides head-on with an object of mass 3m moving with speed v/3 in the opposite direction. If the two objects stick together, what is the speed of the combined object, of mass 4m, after the collision?
1.0 2.v/2 3.v 4.2v
