Wow ! I understand your shock. I shook and vibrated a little
when I looked at this one too.
The reason for our shock is all the extra junk in the question,
put there just to shock and distract us.
"Neutron star", "5.5 solar masses", "condensed burned-out star".
That's all very picturesque, and it excites cosmic fantasies in
out brains when we read it, but it's just malicious decoration.
It only gets in the way, and doesn't help a bit.
The real question is:
What is the acceleration of gravity 2000 m from
the center of a mass of 1.1 x 10³¹ kg ?
Acceleration of gravity is
G · M / R²
= (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²) · (1.1 x 10³¹ kg) / (2000 m)²
= (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ · 1.1 x 10³¹ / 4 x 10⁶) (N) · m² · kg / kg² · m²
= 1.83 x 10¹⁴ (kg · m / s²) · m² · kg / kg² · m²
= 1.83 x 10¹⁴ m / s²
That's about 1.87 x 10¹³ times the acceleration of gravity on
Earth's surface.
In other words, if I were standing on the surface of that neutron star,
I would weigh 1.82 x 10¹² tons, give or take.
Choices A, B, and D are false statements.
I think choice-C is trying to say the right thing, but it
might have gotten copied incorrectly.
Electric fields and electric forces both increase as the distance
decreases, and decrease as the distance increases.
Answer:
0.5639m
Explanation:
For a young double slit experiment the expression below gives the angular separation for m dark fringe having slit width d and wavelength λ
=sin⁻¹(mλ/d)
mλ /d =y/L
for the first order,
y= mλL/d
For ratio separation y₀/yD=1 and d= 1
y₀/yD= [mλ ₀L₀/d]/[mλD.LD./d]
1=λ ₀L₀/λD.LD.
λD.LD= λ ₀L₀
L₀= λD.LD/ λ ₀..............(1)
Then substitute the given values into (1) we have
L₀=471 *0.497/611
= 0.3831m
Distance by which the screen has to be moved towards the slit is
LD- Lo
0.947-0.3831= 0.5639m
A possible effect is the risk of Icecaps melted
