-A photon travels, on average, a particular distance, d, before being briefly absorbed and released by an atom, which scatters it in a new random direction.

-Given d and the speed of light, c, you can figure out the average time step and space step size (how often the photon “steps” and how far it “steps” each time).

-The size of the Sun is figured in terms of step size. Some surprisingly tricky math happens, involving “Brownian motion” and probabilities. Finally,

-The average time it would take to get to the surface of the Sun is found.

Certain neutron stars (extremely dense stars) are believed to be rotating at about 500 rev/s. If such a star has a radius of 17
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

7.22 × 10²⁹ kg

Explanation:

For the material to be in place, the gravitational force on the material must equal the centripetal force on the material.

So, F = gravitational force = GMm/R² where M = mass of neutron star, m = mass of object and R = radius of neutron star = 17 km

The centripetal force F' = mRω² where R = radius of neutron star and ω  = angular speed of neutron star

So, since F = F'

GMm/R² = mRω²

GM = R³ω²

M = R³ω²/G

Since ω = 500 rev/s = 500 × 2π rad/s = 1000π rad/s = 3141.6 rad/s = 3.142 × 10³ rad/s and r = 17 km = 17 × 10³ m and G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

Substituting the values of the variables into M, we have

M = R³ω²/G

M = (17 × 10³ m)³(3.142 × 10³ rad/s)²/6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

M = 4913 × 10⁹ m³ × 9.872 × 10⁶ rad²/s²/6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

M = 48,501.942 × 10¹⁵ m³rad²/s² ÷ 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

M = 7217.66 × 10²⁶ kg

M = 7.21766 × 10²⁹ kg

M ≅ 7.22 × 10²⁹ kg

Considerando que los coeficientes de dilatación de los siguientes metales son: hierro 11.7 x 10-6; plomo 27.3 x 10-6; cobre 16.7
Rasek [7]

Answer:

el plomo será el más largo

Explanation:

Dado que;

longitud inicial (l1) = 4m

Longitud final l2

aumento de temperatura (θ) = 10 ° C

Coeficiente de expansión lineal α

Ahora para el hierro;

α = 11,7 x 10-6

Desde;

l2-l / l1θ = α

l2 = α l1θ + l1

l2 = l1 (αθ + 1)

l2 = 4 ((11,7 x 10-6 * 10) + 1)

l2 = 4.00044 m

Para el plomo

l2 = 4 ((27,3 x 10-6 * 10) + 1)

l2 = 4,00109 m

Para cobre

l2 = 4 ((16,7 x 10-6 * 10) + 1)

l2 = 4.000668 m

Por lo tanto, el plomo será el más largo
