The new period will be 2.486 days.

<h3>What is the period?</h3>

The period is found as the ratio of the angular displacement and the angular velocity. Its unit is the second and is denoted by t. The value of time needed to complete the rotation is the total period.

Given data;

Mass of a star,m= 1.210×10³¹ kg

The time period for one rotation of the star, T = 20.30 days

D' = 0.350 D

R' = 0.350 R

From the law of conservation of angular momentum;

\rm  I \omega = I' \omega' \\\\ \frac{2}{5} MR^2 \times \frac{2 \pi }{T}=\frac{2}{5} MR'^2 \\\\ R^2 \times \frac{1}{T}= R'^2  \times \frac{1}{T} \\\\ T' = \frac{R'^2T}{R^2}  \\\\ T' = \frac{(0.350 R)^2 \times 26.1 }{R^2} \\\\T' = 0.1225 \times 20.30 \\\\ T'= 2.486 \ days

Hence, the new period will be 2.486 days.

Explain what happens to the particles in a substance during a physical change.
Bingel [31]
During Physical Change there would be a re-arrangements of atoms or molecules, changes of the arrangement may be change in the distance between atoms or molecules, change in the crystal form, .....etc 

for example: water when heated it undergoes a Physical Change and turn into vapor, this means the heat cause the distance between water molecules to increase, so it transferred from the liquid form to the gas form. 

NOTE that in Physical Change there is no change in the chemical structure and the material retains all its chemical properties, and no new compounds are produced. 

again, A physical change is any change not involving a change in the substance's chemical identity. Matter undergoes chemical change when the composition of the substances changes: one or more substances combine or break up (as in a relationship) to form new substances.Physical changes occur when objects undergo a change that does not change their chemical nature. A physical change involves a change in physical properties. Physical properties can be observed without changing the type of matter. Examples of physical properties include: texture, shape, size, color, odor, volume, mass, weight, and density. 

BUT in Chemical Change ( or Chemical Reaction ) there would be change in the chemical nature of the material undergoing a Chemical Change with the production of new compounds.

How is the lifetime of a star related to its mass?
Flauer [41]
Stars having less mass collapses early than those with more mass. This can be explained by Einstein's equation E=mc².
According to this equation, mass of stars is converted into light due to thermonuclear reactions occuring in the core of star which acts as engine of the stars. This thermonuclear reactions keeps star alive. Thermonuclear reactions occurs slowly in massive stars hence massive stars live more than light stars.

a 13-gram bullet, moving at 270 m/s, penetrates a 2 kg block of wood and emerges at a speed of 130 m/s. if teh block sits one a
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

1.52m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses

u1 and u2 are the initial velocities

v is the final velocity

Substitute the given values into the formula

0.013(270)+2(130) = (270+130)v

3.51+260 = 400v

263.51 = 400v

v = 400/263.51

v = 1.52m/s

Hence the velocity after the bullet emerges is 1.52m/s

Object C has a mass of 3,600 kilograms. Object D has a mass of 900 kilograms. Both objects were placed on different planets so t
jek_recluse [69]
The answer is 1/4
this is actually a very simple question because if you divide 3,600 by 4 that equals 900 so if you want them to be the same waight you need 3,600 to be multiplied by 1/4.
