Is a neutron star also a black hole?

Physics

coldgirl [10]2 years ago

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.

Skater 1 has a mass of 105.0 kg and a velocity of 2.0 m/s to the left. He
mart [117]

The final velocity of skater 1 is 3.7 m/s to the right. The right option is O A. 3.7 m/s to the right.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

Velocity can be defined as the ratio of the displacement and time of a body.

To calculate the final velocity of Skater 1 we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • mu+MU = mv+MV............ Equation 1

Where:

  • m = mass of the first skater
  • M = mass of the second skater
  • u = initial velocity of the first skater
  • U = initial velocity of the second skater
  • v = final velocity of the first skater
  • V = final velocity of the second skater.

make v the subject of the equation.

  • v = (mu+MU-MV)/m................ Equation 2

Note: Let left direction represent negative and right direction represent positive.

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 105 kg
  • u = -2 m/s
  • M = 71 kg
  • U = 5 m/s
  • V = -3.4 m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • v = [(105×(-2))+(71×5)-(71×(-3.4))]/105
  • v = (-210+355+241.4)/105
  • v = 386.4/105
  • v = 3.68 m/s
  • v ≈ 3.7 m/s

Hence, the final velocity of skater 1 is 3.7 m/s to the right. The right option is O A. 3.7 m/s to the right.
