How do we know that pulsars are neutron stars?

Physics
1 answer:
DiKsa [7]3 years ago
4 0
<h2>Answer: Because they rotate really fast. </h2>

First, it is necessary to clarify what is a pulsar (pulsating star) and what is a neutron star:

<u>A pulsar</u> is a neutron star that emits very intense electromagnetic radiation at short and periodic intervals due to its intense magnetic field that induces this emission.

<u>A neutron star</u>, is the name given to the remains of a supernova. In itself it is the result of the gravitational collapse of a massive supergiant star after exhausting the fuel in its core.

Neutron stars have a small size for their very high density and they rotate at a huge speed.

<h2>So, the way to know that a pulsar is a neutron star is because of its <u>high rotating speed. </u></h2>

Nevertheless, it is important to note that all pulsars are neutron stars, but not all neutron stars are pulsars.

When the mass is removed, the length of the cable is found to be l0 = 4.66 m. After the mass is added, the length is remeasured
zaharov [31]

Answer:

\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}

Explanation:

For a linear elastic material Young's modulus is a constant that is given by:

\gamma=\frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L_0}

Here, F is the force exerted on an object under tensio, A is the area of the cross-section perpendicular to the applied force, \Delta L is the amount by which the length of the object changes and  L_0 is the original length of the object. In this case the force is the weight of the mass:

F=mg\\F=55kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\F=539N

Replacing the given values in Young's modulus formula:

\gamma=\frac{F/\pi r^2}{(L_1-L_0)/L_0}\\\gamma=\frac{539N/\pi(0.045m)^2}{(5.31m-4.66m)/4.66m}\\\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}

Determining the pH of substances such as purple grape juice and catsup using test strips can be difficult. Why?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Because they would naturally dye the test strips in the colors violet and red, regardless of their pH values

An orchestra is practicing a piece that is to be played at an allegro tempo. The conductor sets a metronome at 160 beats per min
omeli [17]

Answer:

375 ms

Explanation:

the frequency of metronome , f = 160 beats per minute

f = 160 /60 beats per sec

f = 2.67 beats /s

the period of a single beat , T = 1/f

T = 1/2.67 s

T = 0.375 s = 375 ms

the period of a single beat is 375 ms

Estimate the number of times the earth will rotate on its axis during a human’s lifetime
Fudgin [204]

Here we have to calculate  the number of rotations made by earth around its own axis in the entire life time of a human being.

The average human life is 50 years .

Each year is 365.5 days

Hence 50 years =50 *365.5 days

                 =18,275 days

The earth rotates around its own axis in 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 second which is approximately equal to 24 hours or one days.

Hence one rotation takes one days.

⇒18,275 days =18,275 rotations

Hence the total number of rotations made by earth around its own axis in the life time of a average human life time will be 18,275 times

An athlete whirls a 7.00 kg hammer 1.8 m from the axis of rotation in a horizontal circle, as
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

A-500 N

Explanation:

The computation of the tension in the chain is shown below

As we know that

F = ma

where

F denotes force

m denotes mass = 7

And, a denotes acceleration

Now for the acceleration we have to do the following calculations

The speed (v) of the hammer is

v = Angular speed × radius

where,

Angular seed = 2 × π ÷ Time Period

So, v = 2 × π × r ÷ P

v = 2 × 3.14 × 1.8 ÷ 1

= 11.304 m/s

Now

a = v^2 ÷ r

= 70.98912 m/s^2

Now the tension is  

T = F = m × a

= 7 × 70.98912

= 496.92384 N

= 500 N
