A few years ago, an X-ray telescope detected a source called Cygnus X-3, whose intensity changed with a period of 4.8 hours. This type of astronomical object emitting periodic signals could be a binary X-ray source, which is a star that is in orbit around a much more massive black hole. The period of the X-ray signal is then the period of the star’s orbit. If the distance between the centers of the star and the black hole is one-fiftieth of the distance between the centers of the Earth and our Sun, then determine how many times more massive the black hole is than our Sun. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Air is contained in a variable-load piston-cylinder device equipped with a paddle wheel. initially, air is at 400 kpa and 17°c. the paddle wheel is now turned by an external electric motor until 75 kj/kg of work has been transferred to air. during this process, heat is transferred to maintain a constant air temperature while allowing the gas volume to triple. calculate the required amount of heat transfer in kj/kg.

Isobars are lines of constant or equal pressure on a weather map. they can be used to find areas of low or high pressure over a broad area, and they can tell us how intense the system may be. on weather maps, you may have noticed areas that have a large l or h over a region with lines circling around them. the l stands for low pressure and h stands for high pressure. the lines circling them are isobars. check out the pressure system and isobars over georgia and florida. what is the present weather in this area ? a) clear and sunny b) cold and cloudy c) changing weather d) lots of precipitation
