A star ending its life with a mass of four to eight times the Sun's mass is expected to collapse and then undergo a supernova ev

ent. In the remnant that is not carried away by the supernova explosion, protons and electrons combine to form a neutron star with approximately twice the mass of the Sun. Such a star can be thought of as a gigantic atomic nucleus. Assume r-aA1/3. If a star of mass 3.88 x 1030 kg is composed entirely of neutrons (mn 1.67 x 1027 kg), what would its radius be?

Answer:

r = 16 Km

Explanation:

given  

m_n= 1.67 x 10^-27 Kg

M_star = 3.88 x 10^30 Kg  

A= M_star/m_n

A= 3.88*10^30/1.67 x 10^-27

A=2.28 *10^57  neutrons                           A = The number of neutrons  

we use the number of neutrons as a mass number because the star has only neutrons. = 1.2 x 10-15 m

r = r_o*A^1/3

r = 1.2*10^-15*2.28 *10^57^1/3

r = 16 Km

31. Draw a free body diagram for a 15.5N box that is being pushed to the right with a 18. N force while experiencing 4.30 N of r
posledela

Answer:

See answers below

Explanation:

a.

F = mg,

15.5 N = m(9.8 m/s²)

m = 1.58 kg

b.

Fnet = Applied force - resistance,

Fnet = 18 N - 4.30 N,

Fnet = 13.70 N

Fnet = ma

13.70 N = (1.58 kg)a

a = 8.67 m/s²

For the free body diagram, draw a box with an upward arrow labeled 15.5 N, a downward label labeled 15.5 N, a right label labeled 18 N, and a left label labeled 4.30 N.

Why can't there be a number lower than absolute zero
nexus9112 [7]

Absolute zero is not about numbers.  It's about temperature, and the
motion of molecules in gases. 

You know that the temperature we feel with our skin is the result of the
average speed of all the tiny molecules zipping around or vibrating in
the solid, liquid, or gas.

The faster they're all moving, the warmer the substance feels to us. 
The slower they're all moving, the cooler the substance feels to us.

When molecules slow down to zero and lose all of their kinetic energy,
that temperature is what we call 'absolute zero' ... if they're not moving
at all, then they can't move any slower.
