(28 points) In a little over 5 billion years, our star will slough off ~20% of its mass and collapse to a white dwarf star of ra

dius 8,000 km. We will model it as a sphere. What will its angular momentum be in terms of its current angular momentum? What will its rotation period be in terms of its current period? b) (12 points) What will its rotational kinetic energy be in terms of its current rotational kinetic energy?

Answer:

The angular momentum is same as it was before.

The rotation period is 1.058*10^{-4} times the original period.

The rotational kinetic energy is 9452 times greater.

Explanation:

The angular momentum L of a rigid body is

L = I\omega,

where I is the moment of inertia and \omega is the angular velocity.

Now, the law of conservation of momentum demands that

I_1\omega_1 = I_2\omega_2,

in words this means the angular momentum before must equal the angular momentum after.

Let us call M the mass, R the radius, and \omega_1 the angular velocity of the sun before it becomes a white dwarf, then its linear momentum is

I_1\omega_1 = \dfrac{2}{5}MR^2 \omega_1     (Remember for a solid sphere I = \dfrac{2}{5} MR^2)

After it has become a white dwarf, the suns mass is 80% of what it had before <em>(went off by 20%),</em> and its radius has become 0.0115% its initial value <em>(8000 km is 0.0115% of the radius of the sun ); </em>therefore, the angular momentum is

I_2\omega_2 = \dfrac{2}{5} (0.8M)(0.0115R)^2 \omega_2

which must be equal to the angular momentum it had before; therefore

\dfrac{2}{5}MR^2 \omega_1 = \dfrac{2}{5} (0.8M)(0.0115R)^2 \omega_2

which we solve for \omega_2:

MR^2 \omega_1 = (0.8M)(0.0115R)^2 \omega_2

MR^2 \omega_1 = (0.8)(0.0115)^2 MR^2\omega_2

\omega_1 = (0.8)(0.0115)^2 \omega_2

\omega_2= \dfrac{\omega_1}{(0.8)(0.0115)^2 }

\boxed{ \omega_2 = 9452\omega_1.}

which is about whopping 9500 times larger than initial angular velocity!!

Now the rotation period T is

T_2 = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega_2}

T = \dfrac{2\pi}{ 9452\omega_1}= 1.058*10^{-4} (\dfrac{2\pi}{ \omega_1})

since \dfrac{2\pi}{ \omega_1} =T_1

\boxed{T_2 = 1.058*10^{-4} T_1}

Similarly, the rotation kinetic energy will be

K_2 = \dfrac{1}{2}I_2\omega_2^2

K_2 = \dfrac{1}{2}*\dfrac{2}{5} (0.8M)(0.0115R)^2 ( 9452\omega_1})^2

K_2 =0.8*0.0115^2*9452^2 [\dfrac{1}{2}*\dfrac{2}{5} mR^2w_1^2]

\boxed{K_2 =9452 K_1}

which is about 9500 times larger than initial rotational kinetic energy!

Archy [21]

Speed of particle B is 2v₀/3 m/s to the left. Particle A and particle B will always have equal speed since they experience equal forces.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

The speed and direction of the particle B is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy as follows;

K.E₁ + P.E₁ = K.E₂ + P.E₂

\frac{1}{2} Mv^2_A + \frac{G}{r^2} = \frac{1}{2} Mv^2_B + \frac{G}{r^2} \\\\ \frac{1}{2} Mv^2_A = \frac{1}{2} Mv^2_B\\\\v^2_A = v^2_B\\\\v_A = v_B

v_B = \frac{2v_0}{3}  \ m/s \ to \ the \ left

At any given position, the speed of particle A and particle B will be equal, since they experience equal force and they have equal masses.

The complete question is below:

Particle A and particle B, each of mass M, move along the x-axis exerting a force on each other. The potential energy of the system of two particles assosicated with the force is given by the equation U=G/r 2, where r is the distance between the two particles and G is a positive constant. At time t=T1 particle A is observed to be traveling with speed 2vo/3 to the left. The speed and direction of motion of particle B is ?

Find the pressure if a force of 2N is applied to an area of 0.00004m^2
BigorU [14]

Answer:

5 x 10^4 N/m^2

Explanation:

Pressure, force and area are related witg the following equation;

Pressure = Force /Area

From the question, we obtained the following information;

Force = 2N

Area = 0.00004m^2

Pressure =?

Pressure = Force /Area

Pressure = 2/0.00004

Pressure = 5 x 10^4N/m^2

Light in vacuum is incident on the surface of a slab of transparent material. In the vacuum the beam makes an angle of 39.9° wit
wariber [46]

Answer:

n=2.053

Explanation:

We will use Snell's Law defined as:

n_{1}*Sin\theta_{1}=n_{2}*Sin\theta_{2}

Where n values are indexes of refraction and \theta values are the angles in each medium. For vacuum, the index of refraction in n=1. With this we have enough information to state:

1*Sin(39.9)=n_{2}*Sin(18.2)

Solving for n_{2} yields:

n_{2}=\frac{Sin(39.9)}{Sin(18.2)}=2.053

Remember to use degrees for trigonometric functions instead of radians!

Write one example of a physical change and one example chemical change
mojhsa [17]
Physical change = changes the physical properties (more commonly known as it's look)
Chemical change = changes the chemical properties into an entire new chemical form
Examples of physical change would be melting ice cubes or sugar cubes.
Examples of chemical change would be cooking eggs or burning paper because you're changing its chemical properties.
