Certain neutron stars (extremely dense stars) are believed to be rotating at about 10 rev/s. If such a star has a radius of 18 k

m, what must be its minimum mass so that material on its surface remains in place during the rapid rotation in kilograms?

Answer:

mass of the neutron star =3.45185×10^26 Kg

Explanation:

When the neutron star rotates rapidly, a material on its surface to remain in place, the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration on the central material must be equal to magnitude of the centripetal acc. of the rotating star.

That is

\frac{GM_{ns}}{R^2}= \omega^2 R

M_ns = mass odf the netron star.

G= gravitational constant = 6.67×10^{-11}

R= radius of the star = 18×10^3 m

ω = 10 rev/sec = 20π rads/sec

therefore,

M_{ns}= \frac{\omega^2R^3}{G} = \frac{4\pi^2\times(18\times10^3)^3}{6.67\times10^{-11}}

= 3.45185... E26 Kg

= 3.45185×10^26 Kg

balandron [24]
The velocity is the integral of acceleration.  If acceleration is 100 m/s^2 then velocity is:

v= \int\limits^{}_{}100 \, dt=100t

So to know the velocity at any time, t, we just put t in seconds into this equation.  To know at what time we get to a certain velocity, we set this equation equal to that velocity and solve for t:

100t = 1000 \\  \\  t= \frac{1000}{100} =10s

Why is the rotation system used in volleyball? Physics was the closest thing to PE
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

A rotation occurs after every side out, which is when the receiving team gains the right to serve by winning a rally. ... The new serving team will rotate clockwise one spot. The purpose of this is to rotate all the players through the serving position. If you continue winning points, you stay in position.
