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

inn [45]
We have that the momentum p is given by the formula p=mv where m is the mass and v is the velocity. Since for A p=-14kgm/s and m=7, we have that the velocity is -14/7=-2m/s. Hence its speed is 2 m/s.
For b we have that p=15kgm/s and v=3m/s. Because m=p/v, we have m=3kg.
We also have that the momentum is conserved in this system. Hence, the net sum of the momentum of the 2 snowballs equals the momentum of the single giant ball. Hence, p(total)=p(combined)=-14+15=1kgm/s (momentum is a vector; the positive sign means that it tends to the positive direction).

A horizontal spring with spring constant 950 N/m is attached to a wall. An athlete presses against the free end of the spring, c
OLga [1]

Answer:

66.5N

Explanation:

F = kx

Where F = force

K = spring constant

x = compression

Given

K = 950N/m

x = 7.0cm

F = ?

First convert the compression to meters .

7.0cm = 7.0 x 0.01

= 0.07 meters

Therefore

F = 950 x 0.07

= 66.5N

Answer:

With the exception of natural gas fossil fuel energies have seen an overall decrease since year 2000.

Explanation:

Just observe the graph

The Fossil fuels include-Petroleum ,coal and natural gases.

  • The graph of these goes fastly up during 20th century but ,then it stabled at the peak then has not shown any solid increase .
  • Observe other energy sources graph ,nuclear energy etc have shown quite speedy increase .

Which statement BEST describes how the body moves?
Alex73 [517]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. Skeletal muscles, which are made of fibers, nerves, and blood vessels, contract in order to make the body move.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Muscular tissues functions in movement and locomotion through its direct connection with the skeletal system. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Skeletal muscles are responsible for moving the body. The skeletal muscle contractions pull on tendons, which as attached to bones. When the skeletal muscle contraction causes the muscle to shorten, the bone and thus the body par will move. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Skeletal muscles also provide structural support for the entire body. </u></em>
