Answer: A. spin very rapidly when they're young.

Explanation:

A pulsar (pulsating star) is a neutron star that emits very intense jets of electromagnetic radiation in the range of radio waves, X-rays or gamma rays, at short and periodic intervals due to its intense magnetic field that induces this emission.  

One of its main charateristics is its  rapidly rotation (spin) when this star is young. So, as the star spins, beams of radio radiation from it sweep through space. If one of these beams points toward the Earth, we observe a <u>pulse</u>.  

This is possible when the magnetic pole of the star "points" to the Earth and then stops pointing a thousandth of a second later due to the fast rotation of the star, appearing again when the same pole returns to point towards Earth.

mr Goodwill [35]

The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is

                         D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

            Distance  =  (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected
if  ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does.
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.

                                                      D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by  2 :         2 D  =            g    t² 

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t²

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)


Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens
to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes: 

-- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'
                                             and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .

-- They don't change by the same factor, because  1/g  is inside
the square root.  So 't' changes the same amount as  √1/g  does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly  1/6  the value
of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by  √6  =  2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle  (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds
to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the
surface of the Moon.

100 °C is a greater temperature than which of the following?
ohaa [14]
When somebody hands you a Celsius°, it's easy to find the equivalent Fahrenheit°.

Fahrenheit° = (1.8 · Celsius°) + 32° .

So 100°C works out to 212°F.  

It's also easy to find the equivalent Kelvin.  Just add 273.15 to the Celsius.

So now you can see that  100°C  is equal to  A  and  D,
and it's less than  B .

The only one it's greater than is  C .

classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 128 feet per
ddd [48]

Answer:

t_1 = 0.28 s

t_2 = 7.72 s

Explanation:

Given that height of the projectile as a function of time is

h = -16 t^2 + 128 t + 112

here we know that

h = 147 ft

so from above equation

147 = -16 t^2 + 128 t + 112

16 t^2 - 128 t + 35 = 0

now by solving above quadratic equation we know that

t_1 = 0.28 s

t_2 = 7.72 s

Which has more momentum, a 2.0 kg dog at 41 m/s or a 75 kg pony at 1.0 m/s?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The dog has more momentum than the pony.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must remember the formula for calculating momentum, which is given below:

momentum = p = m*v

where m represents the mass of the object and v represents the velocity of the object

Using this knowledge, let's calculate the momentum for the dog and the pony.

Dog: p = m*v = (2kg)*(41 m/s) = 82 kg*m/s

Pony: p = m*v = (75kg)*(1 m/s) = 75 kg*m/s

Since 82 > 75, we can conclude that the dog has more momentum.

Hope this helps!
