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.

You have given a power supply, copper wire, and an iron nail. What should you do to decrease the strength of the electro magnet?
Shkiper50 [21]
If you wrap some of the wire around the nail in one direction and some of the wire in the other direction, the magnetic fields from the different sections fight each other and cancel out, reducing the strength of your magnet.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Answer is It was deduced from the rate at which it glimmers.

Refer below.

Explanation:

The X-ray source Cygnus X-1 has a mass of at least 11 solar masses and a diameter of only about one-quarter the diameter of the Earth. With such a small diameter it must be a compact object, and with such a large mass it can't be a white dwarf or a neutron star, so a black hole is the only possibility remaining. The diameter of Cygnus X-1 found:

It was deduced from the rate at which it glimmers.
