What is the leading hypothesis for the origin of short gamma-ray bursts?

Physics
1 answer:
Arturiano [62]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Gamma rays are the most energetic form of rays. A gamma ray burst can emit a large amount of energy in a very short interval of time. In fact, a short gamma-ray burst occurs in less than 2 seconds.  A leading hypothesis states that when two neutron stars merge or when a neutron star merges with a black hole, short gamma-ray burst originates. Such merger are expected to produce kilonovoe.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

 L = 41.09 Kg m2 / s      The angular momentum does not depend on the time

Explanation:

The definition of angular momentum is

        L = r x p

Where blacks indicate vectors

Let's apply this definition our case. Linear momentum

      p = m v

Let's replace

      L = m r x v

The given function is

      x = 6.00 i ^ + 4.15 t j ^

We look for speed

     v = dx / dt

     v = 0 + 4.15 j ^

To evaluate the angular momentum one of the best ways is to use determinants

     L = m \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\6&4.15t&0\\0&4.15&0\end{array}\right]

      L = m 6 4.15 k ^

The other products give zero

Let's calculate

      L = 1.65 6 4.15 k ^

      L = 41.09 Kg m2 / s

The angular momentum does not depend on the time

A sample of gas in a syringe releases heat to its surroundings while the
blsea [12.9K]

Answer: b

Explanation:

When heat is released by the system i.e. system loses heat. So, we take it as negative -Q

When the work is done on the system then it is considered as negative work on the system i.e. -W  

In this case, the plunger is pulled out, and work is done on the system. So, we take work as negative work -W

Correct option is b

You are standing a distance of 17.0 meters from the center of a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round takes 9.50 seconds to go comp
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

(a)11.24 m/s

(b)7.44 m/s

(c)409 N

(d)539.55\mu

(e) 0

Explanation:

The period for 1 circle 2\pi of the merry go around is 9.5s. It means the angular speed is:

\omega = \theta / t = 2\pi / 9.5 \approx 0.661 rad/s

(a)The speed is

v = \omega * R = 0.661 * 17 = 11.24 m/s

(b) Centripetal acceleration:

a = \frac{v^2}{R} = \frac{11.24^2}{17} = 7.44 m/s^2

(c) Magnitude of the force that keeps you go around at this acceleration

F = ma = 55 * 7.44 = 409 N

(d) let the coefficient of friction by \mu. The frictional force shall be this coefficient multiplied by normal force reverting gravity of the man

F_f = mg\mu = 55*9.81\mu = 539.55\mu

Consider a block on a spring oscillating on a frictionless surface. The amplitude of the oscillation is 11 cm, and the speed of
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s

Explanation:

The speed of the block v = rω where r = amplitude of the oscillation and ω = angular frequency of the oscillation.

Now ω = v/r since v = speed of the block = 62 cm/s and r = the amplitude of the oscillation = 11 cm.

The angular frequency of the oscillation ω is

ω = v/r

ω = 62 cm/s ÷ 11 cm

ω = 5.64 rad/s

So, the angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s
