If a star collapses to a tenth its size, gravitation at its surface increases by 100 times as much.

The contraction of an astronomical object caused by its own gravity, which tends to pull stuff inward toward the center of gravity, is known as gravitational collapse. A cloud of interstellar matter gradually collapses under the influence of gravity to form a star. The temperature rises as a result of the compression brought on by the collapse until thermonuclear fusion takes place in the star's core. At this point, the collapse gradually comes to an end as the outward heat pressure equalizes the gravitational forces. Following that, the star is in a condition of dynamic equilibrium. A star will repeatedly collapse once all of its energy sources have been used up until it reaches a new equilibrium condition.

the pull of gravity on mars is 3.7m/s^2. if a astronaut on mars lifts a 10 kg rock 1 m off the ground, just to see whats under i

Gravitational potential energy can be calculated using the formula:

$PE_{grav} =mgh$

Where:
PEgrav = Gravitational potential energy
m= mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height

On Earth acceleration due to gravity is a constant 9.8 but since the scenario is on Mars, the pull of gravity is different. In this case, it is 3.7, so we will use that for g.

So put in what you know and solve for what you don't know.
m = 10kg
g = 3.7m/s^2
h = 1m

So we put that in and solve it.
$PE_{grav} =mgh$
$PE_{grav} =(10kg)(3.7m/s^{2})(1m)$
$PE_{grav} =37J$

A cooling fan is turned off when it is running at 850 rev/min. It turns 1500 revolutions before it comes to a stop. (a) What was

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer

given,

cooling fan revolution = 850 rev/min

fan turns before revolution = 1500 revolutions

$\omega = 850 \dfrac{2\pi}{60}$

$\omega = 89\ rad/s$

θ = 1500 revolution

θ = 1500 x 2 x π

θ = 9424.78 rad

a) using equation of rotation

ω² = ω₀² + 2 α θ

ω = 0 because body comes to rest

0 = 89² + 2 x α x 9424.78

α = -0.42 rad/s²

b) time take for the fan to stop

ω = ω₀ + α t

0 = 89 - 0.42 t

$t = \dfrac{89}{0.42}$

t = 211.9 s

Answer:

Tension in the string will increase

Explanation:

As we know that tension in the string at any angle with the vertical is given as

$T - mgcos\theta = m\omega^2 R$

now we have

$T = mgcos\theta + m\omega^2 R$

also we know that

angular speed of the stone is directly depending on the time period of the motion

so it is given as

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

since the frequency of the revolution is increased from n = 1 rev/s to 2 rev/s

so the angular speed would be doubled

So here we can say that

tension in the string will increase when we will increase the frequency of revolution.
