How do the stars die?

Physics
1 answer:
mestny [16]4 years ago
5 0

A star’s death also depends on its mass. The most massive stars quickly exhaust their fuel supply and explode in core-collapse supernovae, some of the most energetic explosions in the universe. A supernova’s radiation can easily (if only briefly) outshine the rest of its host galaxy. The remnant stellar core will form a neutron star or a black hole, depending on how much mass remains. If the core contains between 1.44 and 3 solar masses, that mass will crush into a volume just 10 to 15 miles wide before a quantum mechanical effect known as neutron degeneracy pressure prevents total collapse. The exact upper limit on a neutron star mass isn’t known, but around 3 solar masses, not even neutron degeneracy pressure can combat gravity’s inward crush, and the core collapses to form a black hole.

A 1300 kg steel beam is supported by two ropes. (Figure
Dmitriy789 [7]

Relative to the positive horizontal axis, rope 1 makes an angle of 90 + 20 = 110 degrees, while rope 2 makes an angle of 90 - 30 = 60 degrees.

By Newton's second law,

  • the net horizontal force acting on the beam is

R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ) = 0

where R_1,R_2 are the magnitudes of the tensions in ropes 1 and 2, respectively;

  • the net vertical force acting on the beam is

R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ) - mg = 0

where m=1300\,\rm kg and g=9.8\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}.

Eliminating R_2, we have

\sin(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ)\bigg) - \cos(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ)\bigg) = 0\sin(60^\circ) - mg\cos(60^\circ)

R_1 \bigg(\sin(60^\circ) \cos(110^\circ) - \cos(60^\circ) \sin(110^\circ)\bigg) = -\dfrac{mg}2

R_1 \sin(60^\circ - 110^\circ) = -\dfrac{mg}2

-R_1 \sin(50^\circ) = -\dfrac{mg}2

R_1 = \dfrac{mg}{2\sin(50^\circ)} \approx \boxed{8300\,\rm N}

Solve for R_2.

\dfrac{mg\cos(110^\circ)}{2\sin(50^\circ)} + R_2 \cos(60^\circ) = 0

\dfrac{R_2}2 = -mg\cot(110^\circ)

R_2 = -2mg\cot(110^\circ) \approx \boxed{9300\,\rm N}

?/1 Jorge traveled 5 miles north to school. He then traveled 3 miles west to the store. Then he left the store and traveled 5 mi
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

He's 3 miles west of school.

Explanation:

He went 5 miles up and 5 miles down which means that he really didn't go up or down.  In between that, he went 3 miles west so if the 5 milers don't count, this puts him at 3 miles west of school.

Calculate the momentum of a 1800 kg elephant charging a hunter at a speed of 7.50 m/s.
liq [111]

The amount of movement, linear momentum, momentum or momentum is a physical quantity derived from a vector type that describes the movement of a body in any mechanical theory. In classical mechanics, the amount of movement is defined as the product of body mass and its velocity at a given time.

p= mv

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

m = 1800kg

v = 7.5m/s

Replacing we have that,

p = (1800)(7.5)

p = 13500kg\cdot m/s

Therefore the momentum is 13500kg\cdot m/s

Joe first focuses his attention (and his eyes) on the tree. The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be ______
kotykmax [81]

Answer: The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be LESS THAN the distance between the front and back of his eye.

Explanation:

The human eye the front part of the eye is the CORNEA. This is the tough white transparent part of the eye that helps in the refraction of light rays. While the backside of the eye is the RETINA. This is the part of the eye when images are focused.

When a normal eye is at rest, parallel rays from a distant object are focused on the retina. The ability of the eye - lens to focus points at different distances on the retina is known as accomodation. The adjustment of the eye lens to focus objects of varying distances is brought about by the ciliary muscles. The have the ability to change the shape of the eye which leads to change in focal length.

When a person with normal vision looks at a distant object at infinity, the lens brings parallel rays to focus on the retina. Thus, the furthest point which the eye can see distinctly is called the far point of the eye and it's infinity for a normal eye. But Joe was able to focus his eye on the tree, meaning that the tree was within his near point. This is the nearest point at which an object is clearly seen. Therefore, when the effective focal length of the cornea-lens system changes, it changes the location of the image of any object in one's field of view.
