A star rotates with a period of 37 days about an axis through its center. The period is the time interval required for a point o

n the star's equator to make one complete revolution around the axis of rotation. After the star undergoes a supernova explosion, the stellar core, which had a radius of 2.0 ✕ 104 km, collapses into a neutron star of radius 6.1 km. Determine the period of rotation of the neutron star. SOLUTION Conceptualize The change in the neutron star's motion is similar to that of the skater described earlier in the textbook, but in the reverse direction. As the mass of the star moves closer to the rotation axis, we expect the star to spin Correct: Your answer is correct. . Categorize Let us assume that during the collapse of the stellar core, (1) no external torque acts on it, (2) it remains spherical with the same relative mass d

Answer:

T = 1.1285 10⁻² day

Explanation:

For this exercise the forces in the premiere are internal, so the angular momentum is conserved

         L₀ = I₀ w₀

         L  = I w

         L₀ = L

         I₀ w₀ = I w

Angular velocity and period are related

         w₀ = 2π / T₀

         w = 2π  / T

         

The moment of inertia of a sphere is

       I₀ = 2/5 M R²

       I = 2/5 m r²

If we assume that the mass of the star does not change in the transformation

We substitute

         2/5 M R² 2π/T₀ = 2/5 M r² 2π/ T

          R² /T₀ = r² / T

          T = (r / R)² T₀

          T = (6.1 / 2.0 104) 37

          T = 1.1285 10⁻² day

Answer:

Earth’s Moon:

It has no atmosphere due to weak gravity. Venus: It is too hot for liquid water.

Europa:

Is too cold for liquid water Mars: Scientists believe it used have flowing water Europe is a small moon of the planet Jupiter and according to studies, it is confirmed that the moon is too cold to have liquid water.

Venus: Venus is generally known as an extremely hold planet where liquid water would immediately turn into gas.

is popularly identified with aliens since several theories talk about a prehistoric alien race that lived on it’s surface.

A titanium bicycle frame displaces 0.314 l of water and has a mass of 1.41 kg.part what is the density of the titanium in g/cm3
nlexa [21]

Answer;

= 4.49 g/cm³

Explanation;

Density = Mass / Volume  

mass = 1.41 kg,

volume = 0.314 L

but; 1 kg = 1000 g   and 1 L = 1000 mL

Thus;

Density = 1.41 kg/0.314L  

Density = 4.49 kg/L (1000g/ 1kg)(1L/1000cm^3)  

Density = 4.49 g/cm^3

Describe what happens to radiant energy once it enters the atmosphere? How does Radiant energy cause weather?
Triss [41]
Once energy from the Sun gets to Earth, several things can happen to it:

Energy can be scattered or absorbed by aerosols in the atmosphere. Aerosols are dust, soot, sulfates and nitric oxides. When aerosols absorb energy, the atmosphere becomes warmer. When aerosols scatter energy, the atmosphere is cooled.
Short wavelengths are absorbed by ozone in the stratosphere.
Clouds may act to either reflect energy out to space or absorb energy, trapping it in the atmosphere.
The land and water at Earth's surface may act to either reflect energy or absorb it. Light colored surfaces are more likely to reflect sunlight, while dark surfaces typically absorb the energy, warming the planet.
Albedo is the percentage of the Sun's energy that is reflected back by a surface. Light colored surfaces like ice have a high albedo, while dark colored surfaces tend to have a lower albedo. The buildings and pavement in cities have such a low albedo that cities have been called "heat islands" because they absorb so much energy that they warm up.
