<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>

We have seen that an electric field must exist inside a conductor that carries a current. How is that possible in view of the fa
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

The potential difference between one side of the wire causes the electric field inside the wire (causes the electrons to flow). However, inside the wire, it is still neutral. The electrons are just moving, the wire is not gaining or losing electrons.

Two magnets are sliding towards each other. One of the magnets, which has a mass of 125 grams, is moving in the positive x-direc
olasank [31]

Answer:

0.45 m/s in the negative x-direction

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum, the sum of initial momentum equals the sum of final momentum

Momentum, p=mv where m is the mass and v is the velocity

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_c where v_c is the common velocity, v_1 and v_2 are velocities of magnet moving in positive x-direction and magnet moving in negative x-direction respectively, m_1 and m_2 are masses of magnet moving in positive x-direction and magnet moving in negative x-direction respectively.

Substituting 125 g for m_1 and 85 g for m_2, 7.33 m/s v_1, -11.9 m/s for v_1 then

125 g\times 7.33 m/s + (85 g\times -11.9)=(125 g+ 85 g)\times v_c

-95.25 g. m/s=210 g v_c

v_c=\frac {-95.25 g.m/s}{210 g}=-0.453571429 m/s&#10;\approx -0.45 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of single unit is 0.45 m/s in the negative x-direction

A car accelerates from 0 m/s to 30 m/s in 8 <br> seconds. What was its acceleration?
aleksley [76]
<span> <span>Acceleration = (change of speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (30 - 0) = 30 m/s.
Time for the change = 8 sec.

Acceleration = 30/8 = 3.75 m/s per second.

A cannon, located 60.0 m from the base of a vertical 25.0-m-tall cliff, shoots a 15-kg shell at 43.0o above the horizontal towar
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

a)   v₀ = 32.64 m / s , b)  x = 59.68 m

Explanation:

a) This is a projectile launching exercise, we the distance and height of the cliff

         x = v₀ₓ t

         y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

We look for the components of speed with trigonometry

         sin 43 = v_{oy} / v₀

         cos 43 = v₀ₓ / v₀

         v_{oy} = v₀ sin 43

         v₀ₓ = v₀ cos 43

Let's look for time in the first equation and substitute in the second

         t = x / v₀ cos 43

         y = v₀ sin 43 (x / v₀ cos 43) - ½ g (x / v₀ cos 43)²

          y = x tan 43 - ½ g x² / v₀² cos² 43

          1 / v₀² = (x tan 43 - y) 2 cos² 43 / g x²

           v₀² = g x² / [(x tan 43 –y) 2 cos² 43]

Let's calculate

          v₀² = 9.8 60 2 / [(60 tan 43 - 25) 2 cos 43]

          v₀ = √ (35280 / 33.11)

          v₀ = 32.64 m / s

.b) we use the vertical distance equation with the speed found

         y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

         .y = v₀ sin43 t - ½ g t²

        25 = 32.64 sin 43 t - ½ 9.8 t²

        4.9 t² - 22.26 t + 25 = 0

         t² - 4.54 t + 5.10 = 0

We solve the second degree equation

         t = (4.54 ±√(4.54 2 - 4 5.1)) / 2

         t = (4.54 ± 0.46) / 2

         t₁ = 2.50 s

         t₂ = 2.04 s

The shortest time is when the cliff passes and the longest when it reaches the floor, with this time we look for the horizontal distance traveled

         x = v₀ₓ t

         x = v₀ cos 43 t

         x = 32.64 cos 43  2.50

         x = 59.68 m
