If you weigh 670 n on the earth, what would be your weight on the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun an

d a diameter of 25.0 km ? take the mass of the sun to be m s = 1.99×1030 kg , the gravitational constant to be g = 6.67×10−11 n⋅ m 2 /k g 2 , and the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface to be g = 9.810 m/ s 2 .

The weight of an object at the surface of a planet is given by:
F=mg
where m is the mass and g is the gravitational acceleration, given by
g= \frac{GM}{r^2}
where G is the gravitational constant, M is the planet's mass, and r the radius of the planet.

At Earth's surface, g=9.81 m/s^2. Since we know the weight of the person at Earth's surface, F=670 N, we can find his mass:
m= \frac{F}{g}= \frac{670 N}{9.81 m/s^2}=68.3 kg

Now we have to calculate the value of g at the surface of the neutron star. The mass of the neutron star is 25 times the Sun's mass:
M=25 \cdot 1.99 \cdot 10^{30}kg=4.98 \cdot 10^{31} kg

While its radius is:
r= \frac{d}{2}= \frac{25.0 km}{2}=12.5 km = 12500 m

Therefore, the value of g at the neutron star surface is
g= \frac{GM}{r^2}= \frac{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(4.98 \cdot 10^{31} kg)}{(12500 m)^2}=2.12 \cdot 10^{13} m/s^2

Therefore, the weight of the person at the surface of the neutron star would be
F' = mg = (68.3 kg)(2.12 \cdot 10^{13} m/s^2 )=1.45 \cdot 10^{15} N

Q3. You throw a ball into the air, it reaches a certain height and then comes back to you.
Grace [21]

The If a car is going round a curve , there is an acceleration because the direction of the velocity changes.

<h3>What is the direction of the velocity?</h3>

Now we know that if you throw the ball upwards, the motion is in opposite direction to gravity thus the ball is experiencing deceleration and the speed decreases. The velocity decreases and the acceleration is negative.

If the ball is coming down, then the ball is accelerated thus it speeds up and the direction of the acceleration is positive.

If a car is going round a curve, the vehicle is accelerating because the direction of the velocity changes even if its amount remains constant.

When a board is moving down a hill at 2 ms-1, it is experiencing an acceleration because the motion is in the same direction as gravity.

If a car is coming to a stop at a point, it experiences a deceleration and not an acceleration since the change of velocity with time is negative as the car comes to rest.

Nitrogen is used to protect steel from water because nitrogen has ________.
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Nitrogen is used to protect steel from water because nitrogen has low reactivity.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is very low reactive element because it forms a gas when triple bond between two Nitrogen atoms. Due to low reactivity of Nitrogen the water does not react with the nitrogen and steel as well. So, for protection of steel Nitrogen is used.

A submarine heads toward a port, which broadcasts a signal at 175 MHz. If the submarine heads toward the port at 46 m/s, what ch
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Δf = 0.00003 MHz = 30 Hz

Explanation:

The apparent frequency due to the motion of receiver towards the source is given by Doppler's effect, while the source is stationary. Therefore, the formula is given as follows:

f = (\frac{c+v_{o} }{c})f_{0}

where,

f = apparent frequency

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

v₀ = velocity of observer = 46 m/s

f₀ = Original Frequency = 175 MHz = 175 x 10⁶ Hz

Therefore,

f = (\frac{300000000 m/s + 46 m/s}{300000000 m/s})(175 MHz)\\

f = 175.00003 MHz

Therefore, the change in frequency is:

Δf = f - f₀

Δf = 175.00003 MHz - 175 MHz

<u>Δf = 0.00003 MHz = 30 Hz</u>
