During a supernova, the outer layers of a star are blown off and the star's core shrinks down by a factor of 10,000 or more to f

orm a neutron star. As the core shrinks, conservation of angular momentum says that
a. the core will spin faster.
b. the spin of the core does not change.
c. the core's rotational axis will precess rapidly, forming a pulsar.
d. the core will spin more slowly.

Answer:

a. the core will spin faster.

Explanation:

By law of conservation of angular momentum

(mvR)i= (mvR)f

m= mass of star

v= speed of star

R= radius of star

i= initial

f= final

since, size(R) of the star is reduced by factor of 10,000 and mass remains the same, the velocity must increase by the same factor to keep the angular momentum conserved.

Hence, a. the core will spin faster.

If Star A is magnitude 1.0 and Star B is magnitude 9.6 , which is brighter and by what factor?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Star A is brighter than Star B by a factor of 2754.22

Explanation:

Lets assume,

the magnitude of star A = m₁ = 1

the magnitude of star B = m₂ = 9.6

the apparent brightness of star A and star B are b₁ and b₂ respectively

Then, relation between the difference of magnitudes and apparent brightness of two stars are related as give below: (m_{2} - m_{1}) = 2.5\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})

The current magnitude scale followed was formalized by Sir Norman Pogson in 1856. On this scale a magnitude 1 star is 2.512 times brighter than magnitude 2 star. A magnitude 2 star is 2.512 time brighter than a magnitude 3 star. That means a magnitude 1 star is (2.512x2.512) brighter than magnitude 3 bright star.

We need to find the factor by which star A is brighter than star B. Using the equation given above,

(9.6 - 1) = 2.5\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})

\frac{8.6}{2.5}  = \log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})

\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2}) = 3.44

Thus,

(b_{1}/b_{2}) = 2754.22

It means star A is 2754.22 time brighter than Star B.

In a football game, a receiver is standing still, having just caught a pass. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a velocit
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

m_{receiver}=115Kg*3.1/(1.6)-115Kg=107.8Kg    

Explanation:

The football players collide in a completely inelastic collision, in other words they have the same velocity after the collision, this velocity has a magnitude V=1.6m/s.

We need to use the conservation of momentum Law, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision, at the initial point the receiver does not have any speed

m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}=(m_{tackler}+m_{receiver})V     (1)

We solve in order to find the receiver mass:

m_{receiver}={m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}/V}-m_{tackler}    

m_{receiver}=115Kg*3.1/(1.6)-115Kg=107.8Kg

Why it is advise to clean the ends of connecting wires before connecting them?
Svetradugi [14.3K]
If dirt and grease were good conductors of electrical current, then we could make wire
out of dirt and grease instead of expensive copper.  Sadly, they're not. So a coating of
dirt and grease on the wire can have a substantial impact on the connection, and can
even block the flow of current across the connection completely.  Moreover, in the case
where the ends of the wires are to be soldered, solder does not adhere to dirty wire.

?/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.
