How do we know that pulsars are neutron stars?

Physics

DiKsa [7]3 years ago

<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.

A 10kg oil is heated by a source of heat that supplies 800J of heat every minute. Calculate The heat added to oil after 30 minut
goblinko [34]

Answer:

4,200 joules per kilogram per degree Celsius

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of a material is the energy required to raise one kilogram (kg) of the material by one degree Celsius (°C). The specific heat capacity of water is 4,200 joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C). This means that it takes 4,200 J to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C.

Bruno the bat flies at a speed of 0.5 m/s in circle of radius 1 m. What is his acceleration?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Acceleration is 0.25m/s^2

Explanation:

Given the following :

Speed = 0.5m/s

Radius(r) of circle = 1m

Acceleration round a circular path is given as :

a = v^2 / r

Where

a = acceleration of the body

v = speed / velocity

r = radius

Therefore,

a = v^2 / r

a = (0.5)^2 / 1

a = 0.25m/s^2

Can someone give me some tips of how to study. I have already tried writing everything in my lesson but it doesn't seem to work
larisa [96]
Highlighter, color coding sections that go together, flash cards, relaxing with someone while they read out questions ( this will help with testing anxiety too). If you get distracted easily use games to study or small sayings instead of the usual white and black sheet of paper.

An electron at Earth's surface experiences a gravitational force of magnitude F=(9.11×10−31 kg)⋅(9.8 m/s2). Part A How far away
katrin [286]

Answer:

r = 5,085 m

Explanation:

The force exerted by on the surface of the Earth on an electron is its weight

          W = F = 9.11 10⁻³¹  9.8

          W = 8.9 10⁻³⁰ N

The electric force between an electron and a proton is given by Coulomb's Law

         Fe = k q₁ q₂ / r²

         Fe = - k q² / r²

They ask us that W = Fe

         W = k q² / r²

          r = √ k q² / W

Let's calculate

        r = √ 8.99 10⁹ (1.6 10⁻¹⁹)² /8.9 10⁻³⁰

        r = √ 25.86

        r = 5,085 m

Let's look for the relationship of this distance with the harmonic distance

        R / R_atomic = 5,085 / 10⁻¹⁰

        R / R_Atomic = 5 10¹⁰

We see that this distance is 10¹⁰ times the interatomic distance, so the gravitational attraction force is very small at atomic scale
