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>

A pendulum has 895 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
LuckyWell [14K]

Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system  remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed  from one form to the other.

Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.

Mathematically also potential energy is represented as

Potential energy= mgh

Where m is the mass of the pendulum.

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height from the bottom z the ground.

At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.

The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as

Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2

Where m is the mass of the pendulum

v is the velocity of the pendulum

At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.

Also as it has been mentioned energy can neither be created nor destroyed hence the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and would be equivalent to 895 J.

A 2.2 kg model rocket is shot straight up in the air from the ground, with an initial velocity of 36.4 m/s. The rocket reaches i
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ignoring friction, the initial kinetic energy will convert to maximum potential energy at its highest point.

PE = KE

mgh = ½mv²

    h = v²/2g

    h = 36.4²/ (2(9.81))

    h = 67.53109...

    h = 67.53 m

You push on the top edge of a 1.8 m tall solid circular cylinder of iron which is 4.00 cm in diameter. You push with a horizonta
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

\triangle x=3.2*10^-^5 m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Height of circular cylinder is h= 1.8m

Diameter of cylinderD=4cm=>0.04m

Horizontal Force  F=900N

Y = 10.0 *10^1^0 N/m^2 \\B = 9.0 * 10^1^0 N/m^2\\S = 4.0 * 10^1^0 N/m^2\\

Generally the formula for shear modulus is mathematically represented by

G=\frac{\tau}{\gamma}

Where

G=Shear modulus\\\tau= shear\ stress\\\gamma=shear strain

G=\frac{F/A}{\triangle x/L}

G=\frac{900/\pi r^2}{\triangle x/1.8}

4.0*10^1^0=\frac{900/\pi r^2}{\triangle x/1.8}

4.0*10^1^0=\frac{900}{\pi r^2}  *\frac{1.8}{\triangle x}

{\triangle x} =\frac{1620}{\pi r^2* 4.0*10^1^0}

\triangle x=3.2*10^-^5 m
