How do the stars die?

Physics

mestny [16]3 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.

First, calculate how long the ball is in midair. This will depend only on the vertical displacement; once the ball hits the ground, projectile motion is over. Since the ball is thrown horizontally, it originally has no vertical speed. 
t = time vi = initial vertical speed = 0m/s g = gravity = -9.8m/s^2 y = vertical displacement = -45m 
y = .5gt^2 [Basically, in this equation we see how long it takes the ball to fall 45m] -45m = .5 (-9.8m/s^2) * t^2 t = 3.03 s 
Now we know that the ball is midair for 3.03s. Since horizontal speed is constant we can simply use: 
x = horizontal displacement v = horizontal speed = 25m/s t = time = 3.03s 
x = v*t x = 25m/s * 3.03s = 75.76 m Thus, the ball goes about 75 or 76 m from the base of the cliff.

The 4kg head of a sledge hammer is moving at 6m/s when it strikes a chisel, driving it into a log. The duration of the impact (o
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The average impact force is 12000 newtons.

Explanation:

By Impact Theorem we know that impact done by the sledge hammer on the chisel is equal to the change in the linear momentum of the former. The mathematical model that represents the situation is now described:

\bar F \cdot \Delta t = m \cdot  (v_{2}-v_{1}) (1)

Where:

\bar F - Average impact force, in newtons.

\Delta t - Duration of the impact, in seconds.

m - Mass of the sledge hammer, in kilograms.

v_{1}, v_{2} - Initial and final velocity, in meters per second.

If we know that \Delta t = 0.0020\,s, m = 4\,kg, v_{1} = -6\,\frac{m}{s} and v_{2} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, then we estimate the average impact force is:

\bar F = \frac{m\cdot  (v_{2}-v_{1})}{\Delta t}

\bar F = 12000\,N

The average impact force is 12000 newtons.

What does a curved gradient line in a distance-time graph represent?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

If the line is curved, the slope is changing, which also means the velocity is changing. In a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The more the gradient (and the steeper the line) the faster the object is moving.
