Is a neutron star also a black hole?

Physics

No.  A neutron star is the weird remains of a star that blew its outer layers off
in a nova event, and then had enough mass left so that gravity crushed its
electrons into its protons, and then what was left of it shrank down to a sphere
of unimaginably dense neutron soup.  But it didn't have enough mass to go
any farther than that.

A black hole is the remains of a star that had enough mass to go even farther
than that.  No force in the universe was able to stop it from contracting, so it
kept contracting until its mass occupied no volume ... zero.  It became even
more weird, and is composed of a substance that we don't know anything about
and can't describe, and occupies zero volume.

Contrary to popular fairy tales, a black hole doesn't reach out and "suck things in".
It's just so small (zero) that things can get very close to it.  You know that gravity
gets stronger as you get closer to an object, so if the object has no size at all, you
can get really really close to it, and THAT's where the gravity gets really strong.
You may weigh, let's say, 100 pounds on the Earth.  But you're like 4,000 miles
from the center of the Earth.  What if all of the earth's mass was crammed into
the size of a bean.  Then you could get 1 inch from it, and at that distance from
the mass of the Earth, you would weigh 25,344,000,000 pounds. 
But Earth's mass is not enough to make a black hole.  That takes a minimum
of about 3 times the mass of the sun, which is right about 1 million times the
Earth's mass.   THEN you can get a lightweight black hole.
Do you see how it works now ?

I know.  It all seems too fantastic to be true. 
It sure does.

Answer:

D)evaluating a solution

Explanation:

In this scenario, the next logical step would be evaluating a solution. This is because Jasper and Samantha have already identified the problem/need which is that the robot needs to be able to move a 10-gram weight at least 2 meters and turn in a circle. They also designed and implemented a solution because they have already built the robot. Therefore the only step missing is to evaluate and make sure that the robot they built is able to complete the requirements.

Describe what happens to the system inside of a refrigerator or freezer in terms of heat transfer, work, and conservation of ene
Over [174]

Answer: A. Work is done on the system and heat is transferred from the system for a net decrease in internal energy.

Explanation:

A refrigerator is a device which dispenses heat from the close system to a warmer area or in the surrounding. By dispensing the heat the internal temperature of the refrigerator drops. The system of refrigerator violates the second law of thermodynamics. As it performs the work to cool the region instead of heating the region. The work is done on the system and the internal energy decreases and the heat energy is liberated to the surrounding area. A refrigerator is an open system.

1. An express train, traveling at 36 m/s, is accidentally sidetracked onto a local train track. The express engineer spots a loc
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

(i) 12 seconds

(ii) 216 meters from the initial position

(iii) 132 meters from the initial position

(iv) No

Explanation:

Speed of express train =36 m/s

Speed of local train =11 m/s

The initial distance between the local train and passenger train =100 m.

Due to the application of breaks, the express train slows at the rare of 3.0 m/s^2.

So, the acceleration of the express train, a=-3 m/s^2.

(i) Let t be the time the express train takes to stop.

From the equation of motion,

v=u+at

where, v: final velocity, u: initial velocity, a: constant acceleration, t: time taken to change the speed from u to v.

In this case, v=0, u=36 m/s, a=-3 m/s^2

So, 0=36+(-3)t

\Rightarrow t= 36/3=12 seconds.

(ii) To compute the distance traveled, s, till the express train stops, using

v^2=u^2+2as

\Rightarrow 0^2=36^2+2(-3)s

\Rightarrow s=\frac{36\times36}{6}

\Rightarrow s=216 meters.

(iii) The local train is moving at a speed of 11 m/s

So, in 12 seconds, the distance, d, traveled by the local train

d= 11x12=132 meters [as distance= speed x time]

(iv) Let 0 be the reference position which is the initial position of the express train.

So, at the initial time, the position of the local train is at 100m.

After 12 seconds:

The position of the express train is at 216 m [using part (ii)]

and the position of the local train is at 100+132=232m  [using part (iii)].

So, the local train is still ahead of the express train, hence the trains didn't collide.
