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.
The answer is Balance. hopei helped? ahahahaha
The most important mineral resources of Virginia are coal, crushed stone, sand and gravel, lime (from limestone and dolostone) and natural gas.
Answer: I believe his brother, Mike, who is 6'2, will have the longer shadow.
Answer:
The equipment to use is: a beaker, a fixed amount of water, a thermometer.
The mass of water, the time, the temperature for each time should be noted and a graph of Temperature versus time should be made
Explanation:
The design of an experiment is to place the beaker in the microwave, with a good amount of water (approximately ⅔ of its capacity) and turn it on for small periods of time, generally the minimum is 30 s, quickly open the microwave, place a thermometer or better yet an infrared thermometer to measure the temperature of the water; repeat this several times.
The advantage of the infrared thermometer is that it reduces the transfer of heat between the water and the thermometer.
The mass of water, the time, the temperature for each time should be noted and a graph of Temperature versus time should be made.
The equipment to use is: a beaker, a fixed amount of water, a thermometer.
The main precaution that must be taken is not to open the microwave while it is on.
