Answer:

a = 616850.28 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of the neutron star, r = 10 Km

                                                     = 10,000 m

The time period of the neutron star, T = 0.8 s

The centripetal acceleration is given by the formula,

                                  a = v²/r

The linear velocity is given by the relation,

                                    v = rω

The time taken to complete one complete rotation is given by the relation

                                   T = 2π /ω

Where,

                                    ω = 2π / T

Substituting v and ω into the equation for centripetal acceleration. It becomes

                                    a = 4π²r/T²

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                                      a = 4π² x 10000 / 0.8²

                                         = 616850.28 m/s²

Hence, the centripetal acceleration of this person is, a = 616850.28 m/s²

What is not a similarity between mars and earth today?
eduard

Answer:

Mars and Earth are two of the planets of the solar system. Some of the ways in which Mars is different from Earth are as follows-

  • The size of the earth is bigger than Mars as Earth has a radius of nearly 6400 km, whereas Mars has a radius of about 3400 km.
  • The atmosphere of earth is primarily comprised of gases such as 78% of Nitrogen (N₂), 21% of Oxygen (O₂), 0.03% of Carbon dioxide (CO₂), and 0.9% of Argon (Ar), whereas the atmosphere of Mars is mainly comprised of 95% of CO₂, 3% of molecular N₂, and 2% of Ar.
  • The surface gravity also marks a contrasting difference as on Mars, the gravity at the surface is only about 38%, in comparison to the gravity at the earth's surface.

Atoms with many electron shells will let go of their electrons more easily than those with fewer shells.
Anna007 [38]

True

The more the number of shells will let go of their outer electrons more easily because the effective nuclear charge on the outer (valence) electrons will be lower. This is called 'shielding', the outer electrons will be shielded from the nucleus by the inner electrons.

Hope this Helps

A ray of white light moves through the air and strikes the surface of water in a beaker. The index of refraction of the water is
Naily [24]

Answer:

except ii and iii

Explanation:

The angle of reflection is the angle to the normal the white rays strikes the water surface and it is the incidence angle. Since the white light is moving from less dense medium to a denser medium or a medium with a higher refractive index; the angle of refraction will be less than 30 degrees. Total internal reflection cannot occur because the white light is traveling from a less dense medium to a denser medium.
