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

<span>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).</span>

Why doesn't every planet have a moon?

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Up first are Mercury and Venus. Neither of them has a moon. Because Mercury is so close to the Sun and its gravity, it wouldn't be able to hold on to its own moon. Any moon would most likely crash into Mercury or maybe go into orbit around the Sun and eventually get pulled into it.

A toroid having a square cross section, 5.49 cm on a side, and an inner radius of 18.1 cm has 450 turns and carries a current of

joja [24]

Answer:

(a) 4.27 x 10^-4 Telsa

(b) 3.28 x 10^-4 Telsa

Explanation:

side of square, a = 5.49 cm

inner radius, r = 18.1 cm = 0.181 m

number of turns,N = 450

current, i = 0.859 A

(a)

The magnetic field due to a solenoid due to inner radius is

$B = \frac{\mu_{0}Ni}{2\pi r_{inner}}$

$B = \frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 450\times 0.859}{2\pi \times 0.181}$

B = 4.27 x 10^-4 Telsa

(b)

The outer radius is R = 18.1 + 5.49 = 23.59 cm = 0.236 m

The magnetic field due to the outer radius is

$B = \frac{\mu_{0}Ni}{2\pi r_{outer}}$

$B = \frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 450\times 0.859}{2\pi \times 0.236}$

B = 3.28 x 10^-4 Tesla

Which is a scalar quantity displacement distance force acceleration

cestrela7 [59]

A scalar is a quantity that is fully described by a magnitude only. It is described by just a single number. Some examples of scalar quantities include speed, volume, mass, temperature, power, energy, and time. A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction.

I hope this helps you.

F = 2.0*10^20 N,

natka813 [3]

$F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

With the given values of $F,G,m_1,r$ , we have

$2.0\times10^{20}\,\mathrm N=\dfrac{\left(6.67\times10^{-11}\,\frac{\mathrm{Nm}^2}{\mathrm{kg}^2}\right)\left(5.98\times10^{24}\,\mathrm{kg}\right)m_2}{\left(3.8\times10^8\,\mathrm m\right)^2}$
