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

A cart of mass 6.0 kg moves with a speed of 3.0 m/s towards a second stationary cart with a mass of 3.0 kg. The carts move on a
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:b

Explanation:

Given

mass of first cart m_1=6 kg

mass of second cart m_2=3 kg

velocity of first cart v_1=3 m/s

conserving momentum

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v

6\times 3+3\times 0=(9)\cdot v

v=2 m/s

Initial kinetic Energy K.E._1=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2

K.E._1=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 6\cdot 3^2+0

K.E._1=27 J

Final Kinetic Energy

K.E._2=\frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v^2

K.E._2=\frac{1}{2}(6+3)\cdot 2^2=18 J

Ratio of initial Kinetic Energy to the Final Kinetic Energy

=\frac{27}{18}=1.5

Two different sources of radiation give the same dose equivalent in Sv. Does this mean that the radiation from each source has t
Alisiya [41]

The product of the dosage Gy and relative biological efficiency yields a radiation dose equivalent Sv (RBE).

Sv =dose in Gy * RBE Sv=dose in GyRBE

The quantity of ionising energy absorbed by 1 text kg1 kg of tissue is defined as a radiation dose Gy. While RBE is a measure of a specific dose's biological effect relative to the biological effect of an equal quantity of X rays.

<h3>What is radiation?</h3>

Radiation is energy that moves through space at the speed of light from a source. This energy is coupled with an electric and magnetic field, and it exhibits wave-like qualities. Radiation is sometimes known as "electromagnetic waves."

Nature has a diverse variety of electromagnetic radiation. One example is visible light.

X-rays and gamma rays are extremely energetic. They may take electrons from atoms when they engage with them, causing the atom to become ionised.

The ball has 7.35 joules of potential energy at position B. At position A, all of the energy changes to kinetic energy. The velo
Lina20 [59]
I assume that the ball is stationary (v=0) at point B, so its total energy is just potential energy, and it is equal to 7.35 J. 
At point A, all this energy has converted into kinetic energy, which is:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
And since K=7.35 J, we can find the velocity, v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 7.35 J}{1.5 kg} }=3.1 m/s
