Answer:
minimum mass of the neutron star = 1.624 × 10^30 kg
Explanation:
For a material to remain on the surface of a rapidly rotating neuron star, the magnitude oĺf the gravitational acceleration on the material must be equal to the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the rotating neuron star.
This can be represented by the explanations in the attached document.
minimum mass of the neutron star = 1.624 × 10^30 kg
Feet and inches or millimeters or centimeters or meters or miles or kilometers
<span>net work = change in kinetic energy
for Block B, we just have the force from block A acting on it
F(ab)d= .5(1)vf² - .5(1)(2²)
F(ab)d= .5vf² - 2
Block A, we have the force from the hand going in one direction and the force of block B on A going the opposite direction
10-F(ba)d = .5(4)vf² - .5(4)(2²)
10-F(ba)d = 2vf² - 8
F(ba)d = 18 - 2vf²
now we have two equations:
F(ba)d = 18 - 2vf²
F(ab)d= .5vf² - 2
since the magnitude of F(ba) and F(ab) is the same, substitute and find vf (I already took into account the direction when solving for F(ab)
10-.5vf² + 2 = 2vf² - 8
12 - .5vf² = 2vf² - 8
20 = 2.5vf²
vf² = 8
they both will have the same velocity
KE of block A= .5(4)(2.828²) = 16 J
KE of block B=.5(1)(2.828²) = 4 J</span>
