Neutron stars consist only of neutrons and have unbelievably high densities. a typical mass and radius for a neutron star might

be 9.9 x 1028 kg and 1.9 x 103 m. (a) find the density of such a star. (b) if a dime (v = 2.0 x 10-7 m3) were made from this material, how much would it weight (in pounds)?

<span>Density is 3.4x10^18 kg/m^3 Dime weighs 1.5x10^12 pounds The definition of density is simply mass per volume. So let's divide the mass of the neutron star by its volume. First, we need to determine the volume. Assuming the neutron star is a sphere, the volume will be 4/3 pi r^3, so 4/3 pi 1.9x10^3 = 4/3 pi 6.859x10^3 m^3 = 2.873x10^10 m^3 Now divide the mass by the volume 9.9x10^28 kg / 2.873x10^10 m^3 = 3.44588x10^18 kg/m^3 Since we only have 2 significant digits in our data, round to 2 significant digits, giving 3.4x10^18 kg/m^3 Now to figure out how much the dime weighs, just multiply by the volume of the dime. 3.4x10^18 kg/m^3 * 2.0x10^-7 m^3 = 6.8x10^11 kg And to convert from kg to lbs, multiply by 2.20462, so 6.8x10^11 kg * 2.20462 lb/kg = 1.5x10^12 lb</span>

What happens if the air pressure in your throat and outside body is less than the air pressure in your middle ear when you swall
andrezito [222]

Answer:

When the air pressure in the throat and outside the body is less than the air pressure in the middle ear, barotrauma occurs.

Explanation:

Ear barotrauma is a medical condition that describes discomfort in the ear which is caused by pressure differences in the inner and outer ear drum.

Usually, the air pressure in the middle ear is the same as the air pressure in the throat and outside the body.

When we swallow, the eustachian tube opens up and air flows out of and into the middle ear, this balances the pressure. But if the eustachian tube is blocked, the air pressure in the throat and outer body become different from the air pressure in the middle ear.

What properties of the wave define why it is found within this area of the spectrum?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed and medium are properties of a wave which is in common within an area of the spectrum of visible light. i.e;

Their medium of propagation

They both travel at the same speed ( speed of light )

The properties mentioned above are properties that define that wave is found within an area spectrum for visible light.
