Physics

BARSIC [14]3 years ago
7 0

The correct answer is D. An average city

Explanation:

A neutron star differs from others due to its massive density, this means a lot of matter is compressed in a small area. Indeed, neutron stars have a mass of around 1.4 to 2.8 times the mass of the sun. But these are considerably small as they only measure around 20 kilometers, which is the size of an average city. Additionally, neutron stars are this dense because they are the result of a regular star exploding, which leads to a super-dense core, or neutron star. In this context, the mass of a neutron star is compressed to the size of an average city.

Your spaceship lands on an unknown planet. To determine the characteristics of this planet, you drop a wrench from 3.00 m above
statuscvo [17]

Answer: The gravitational acceleration near the surface of this planet is 9.056 m/s^2

Explanation:

When you drop an object, the only acceleration acting on the object is the gravitational acceleration, so we can writhe the acceleration of the wrench as

a(t) = -g

where the minus sign is because the wrench will move downwards.

for the velocity of the object, we integrate over time and get:

v(t) = -g*t + v0

where v0 is the initial velocity, in this case is 0, because the wrench is droped.

integrating again, we will get the position of the wrench:

p(t) = -(g/2)*t^2 + p0

where p0 is the initial position, in this case is 3m above the ground.

p(t) = -(g/2)*t^2 + 3m

now, afther 0.814seconds the wrench hits the ground, so we have:

p(0.814 s) = 0 =  -(g/2)*(0.814s)^2 + 3m

now we need to solve this for g.

-(g/2)*(0.814s)^2 + 3m = 0

(g/2)*(0.814s)^2 = 3m  

(g/2) = 3m/*(0.814s)^2 = 4.528m/s^2

g = 2*4.528m/s^2 = 9.056 m/s^2

the half-life of iodine-131 is 8.1 days. how much time had passed if i only have one-fourth of the original sample?​
morpeh [17]

Answer:

16.2 days

Explanation:

Find the number of halflives:

1/2   *  1/2 =  1/4     so <u>two</u>   halflives have passed

   2 * 8.1 days = 16.2 days

A 0.200-kg mass is attached to the end of a spring with a spring constant of 11 N/m. The mass is first examined (t = 0) when the
inn [45]

Answer:

a) x (t) = 0.3187 cos (7.416 t + 1.008) ,  b)  v = -2,363 sin (7,416 t + 1,008)

c)  a = - 17.52 cos (7.416t + 1.008)

Explanation:

The spring mass system creates a harmonic oscillator that is described by the equation

    x = Acos (wt + φ)

Where is the amplitude, w the angular velocity and fi the phase

a) Let's reduce the SI system

    x = 17.0 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 0.170 m

The angular velocity is given by

      w = √ (k / m)

      w = √ 11 / 0.200

      w = 7.416 rad / s

Let's look for the terms of the equation with the data for time zero (t = 0 s)

      0.170 = A cos  φ

Body speed can be obtained by derivatives

      v = dx / dt

      v = -A w sin (wt + φ)

     2.0 = -A 7.416 sin φ

Let's write the two equations

     0.170 = A cos φ

     2.0 / 7.416 = -A sin φ

Let's divide those equations

    tan φ= 2.0 / (7.416 0.170)

     φ= tan⁻¹ (1,586)

     φ= 1.008 rad

We calculate A

   A = 0.170 / cos φ

   A = 0.170 / cos 1.008

   A = 0.3187 m

With these values ​​we write the equation of motion

    x (t) = 0.3187 cos (7.416 t + 1.008)

b) the speed can be found by derivatives

      v = dx / dt

      v = - 0.3187 7.416 sin (7.416 t +1.008)

      v = -2,363 sin (7,416 t + 1,008)

c) the acceleration we look for conserved

    a = dv / dt

    a = -2,363 7,416 cos (7,416 t + 1,008)

    a = - 17.52 cos (7.416t + 1.008)
