<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>

An 75-kg hiker climbs to the summit of Mount Mitchell in western North Carolina. During one 2.0-h period, the climber's vertical

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system is $\Delta PE = 396900 \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the hiker is $m = 75 \ kg$

The time taken is $T = 2 \ hr = 2 * 3600 = 7200 \ s$

The vertical elevation after time T is $H = 540 \ m$

The change in gravitational potential is mathematically represented as

$\Delta PE = mgH$

here g is the acceleration due to gravity with value $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$

substituting values

$\Delta PE = 75 * 9.8 * 540$

$\Delta PE = 396900 \ J$

If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the object's velocity is a linear function of time.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

$F=mkv$

Explanation:

Given that

$v = v_i - kx$

We know that acceleration a given as

$a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$v = v_i - kx$

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}=\dfrac{dv_i}{dt}-k\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}=0-k\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

We know that

$F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$F=-mk\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$F=-mkv$

So the magnitude of force F

$F=mkv$
