(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

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!

balu736 [363]

Answer:

FB = 0.187 N

Explanation:

To find the magnetic force FB in the wire you use the following formula:

|\vec{F_B}|=ILBsin\theta\\\\L=0.25m\\\\|\vec{B}|=\sqrt{(0.3y)^2+(0.4y)^2}=0.5y \ T

the angle between B and L is given by:

\vec{L}\cdot\vec{B}=LBcos\theta\\\\\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{\vec{L}\cdot\vec{B}}{LB})=cos^{-1}(\frac{0*0.3y+0.25*0.4y}{0.25*0.5y})=36.86\°

Due to B depends on "y" you take into account the contribution of each element dy of the wire to the magnitude of the magnetic force. Thus, you have to integrate the following expression:

|\vec{F_B}|=Isin\theta\int_0^{0.25}B(y)dy=Isin\theta\int_0^{0.25}(0.5y)dy\\\\|\vec{F_B}|=(2.0*10^{-3}A)(sin36.86\°)(0.5T)[\frac{0.25^2}{2}m]=0.187\ N

hence, the magnitude of the magnetic force is 0.187N
