KE=1/2 mv^2
=1/2(150kg)(15m/s)^2
=16875 kgms^-2

Could an average star, such as our sun, become a neutron star? Explain your answer.

larisa86 [58]

No. Neutron stars are the remnants of very large stars that have supernova'd. Anything below 1.44 solar masses becomes a dwarf, anything above 5 solar masses becomes a black hole. Everything in between becomes a neutron star (or quark star, but it's not proven).

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other wor

Bess [88]

Answer:

a) The final velocity is 20 m/s when the large-mass object is the one moving initially.

b) The final velocity is 9.0 m/s when the small-mass object is the one moving initially.

Explanation:

The momentum of the system is calculated as the sum of the momenta of each object. Each momentum is calculated as follows:

p = m · v

Where:

p = momentum.

m = mass.

v = velocity.

Then, the momentum of the system is the following:

m1 · v1 + m2 · v2 = (m1 + m2) · v

Where:

m1 = mass of the bigger object.

v1 = velocity of the bigger object.

m2 = mass of the smaller object.

v2 = velocity of the smaller object.

v = final velocity of the two objects after the collision.

Solving the equation for the final velocity:

(m1 · v1 + m2 · v2)/ (m1 + m2) = v

a) Let´s calculate the final velocity when the bigger object is moving:

(7.1 kg · 29 m/s + 3.2 kg · 0)/(7.1 kg + 3.2 kg) = v

v = 20 m/s

b) When the smaller object is moving:

(7.1 kg · 0 m/s + 3.2 kg · 29 m/s) / (7.1 kg + 3.2 kg) = v

v = 9.0 m/s

What do you need to know to be able to determine how far a projectile travels horizontally?

Effectus [21]

As for me, there are two suitable answers for the question represented above and here is a short explanation why I consider these two to be correct :
D. The horizontal velocity of the projectile and B. The length of time before it lands
 $v_x = v*cos(x) [

d_x = v_x(t) + ½at²$ -- this led me to answers! Hope everything is clear! Regards!

Does parallax affect the precision of a measurement that you make

Paul [167]

Yes, parallax affects the precision of a measurement that you make. It introduces an error in the order of the parallax. It will cause the measurement to be different from the real answer. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
