<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.

The goalkeeper at his goal cannot kick a soccer ball into the opponent’s goal without the ball touching the ground

Explanation:

Consider the vertical motion of ball,

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Initial velocity, u = u sin θ

Final velocity, v = 0 m/s

Acceleration = -g

Substituting

v = u + at

0 = u sin θ - g t

$t=\frac{usin\theta }{g}$

This is the time of flight.

Consider the horizontal motion of ball,

Initial velocity, u = u cos θ

Acceleration, a =0 m/s²

Time, $t=\frac{usin\theta }{g}$

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

$s=ucos\theta \times \frac{usin\theta }{g}+0.5\times 0\times (\frac{usin\theta }{g})^2\\\\s=\frac{u^2sin\theta cos\theta}{g}\\\\s=\frac{u^2sin2\theta}{2g}$

This is the range.

In this problem

u = 30 m/s

g = 9.81 m/s²

θ = 45° - For maximum range

Substituting

$s=\frac{30^2\times sin(2\times 45)}{2\times 9.81}=45.87m$

Maximum horizontal distance traveled by ball without touching ground is 45.87 m, which is less than 95 m.

So the goalkeeper at his goal cannot kick a soccer ball into the opponent’s goal without the ball touching the ground

We star considering the system is in equlibrium, so

Fm makes $90-(\theta+5)$ with vertical

Fm makes 70 with vertical

Applying summatory in X we have,

$\sum F_x = 0$

$W+1.4-Fm cos(70)$

We know that W is equal to

$W= 0.06*100N = 6N$

Substituting,

$Fm cos (70) = W+1.4N$

$Fm cos (70) = 6N + 1.4N$

$Fm = \frac{7.4}{cos(70)}$

$Fm = 21.636N$

What change will always result in an increase in gravitational force between two objects

tekilochka [14]

The gravitational force between two object depends on their masses and on their distance.

Since the formula is

$F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{d^2}$

If the masses grow, the force also grows. But I'm assuming the two objects are fixed, so you can't enlarge their mass.

So, the only option remaining is to lower their distance: since it sits at the denominator, a smaller value of d results in a bigger value for F.

So, if you reduce the distance between two objects, the gravitational force between them will always result in an increase

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

h = 2.64 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of one ball, $m_1=3\ kg$

Speed of the first ball, $v_1=20\ m/s$ (upward)

Mass of the other ball, $m_2=2\ kg$

Speed of the other ball, $v_2=-12\ m/s$ (downward)

We know that in an inelastic collision, after the collision, both objects move with one common speed. Let it is given by V. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as :

$V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}$
