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.

As a mass on a spring moves farther from the equilibrium position, how do the velocity, acceleration, and force change
Umnica [9.8K]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

m =  the mass of the object
x = the distance of the object from the equilibrium position at time t.
v = the velocity of the object at time t
a = the acceleration of the object at time t
A =  the amplitude ( the maximum distance) of the mass from the equilibrium
        position

The oscillatory motion of the object (without damping) is given by
x(t) = A sin(ωt)
where
ω =  the circular frequency of the motion
T =  the period of the motion so that ω = (2π)/T

The velocity and acceleration are respectively
v(t) = ωA cos(ωt)
a(t) = -ω²A sin(ωt)

In the equilibrium position,
x is zero;
v is maximum;
a is zero.

At the farthest distance (A) from the equilibrium position,
x is maximum;
v is zero;
a is zero.

In the graphs shown, it is assumed (for illustrative purposes) that
A = 1 and T = 1.

Choose the situation below in which the force applied is the greatest.
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

We know the formula for Work to be:

W = f * d

Where W is work done

f is force

d is the distance

A)

Work = 50

Distance = 50

So, Force is:

Force = 50/50 = 1

B)

Work = 400

Distance = 80

Force = 400/80 = 5

C)

Work = 365

Distance = 73

Force = 365/73 = 5

D)

Work = 144

Distance = 16

Force = 144/16 = 9

Hence, D is the situation in which the force applied is the greatest.

3.<br> is the force on a dropped ball.<br> gravity<br> acceleration
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Speeding up While Falling Down

Gravity is a force that pulls objects down toward the ground. When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion.
