When a large star becomes a supernova, its core may be compressed so tightly that it becomes a neutron star, with a radius of ab

out 18.0 km (about the size of a typical city). If a neutron star rotates once every 0.860 seconds, (a) what is the speed of a particle on the star's equator and (b) what is the magnitude of the particle's centripetal acceleration? (c) If the neutron star rotates faster, do the answers to (a) and (b) increase, decrease, or remain the same?

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) radius of star  R = 18 x 10³ m

time period of rotation T = .86 s.

angular velocity ω = 2π / T

= 2 X 3.14 / .86

= 7.3 radian / s .

velocity required

= ω R

7.3 x 18 x 10³

= 131.4 m /s

b )

centripetal acceleration

= ω² R

= ω R ω

= 131.4 x  7.3

959.22 m/s²

c )

If the neutron star rotates faster , both velocity of the particle on the equator

and centripetal acceleration increases.

A potter's wheel is rotating around a vertical axis through its center at a frequency of 2.0 rev/s. The wheel can be considered
mart [117]

Answer:

\omega_f=12.2954 \,rad.s^{-1}         i.e.

Frequency=1.9569\,rev.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

angular speed,\omega_i =2\times 2\pi \,rad.s^{-1}

mass of the disk, M=4.9\,kg

radius of the disk, R=0.2\,m

mass of the chunk, m=2.7\,kg

radius of the chunk, r=0.04\,m

We know that the angular momentum is given by:

L=I.\omega

and moment of inertia for a disc:

I=\frac{1}{2} m.r^2

According to the conservation of angular momentum, the final angular momentum is equal to the initial angular momentum.

\frac{1}{2} \times M.R^2\times \omega= \frac{1}{2} \times (M.R^2+m.r^2) \omega_f

4.9\times 0.2^2\times (2\times 2\pi)=(4.9\times 0.2^2+2.7\times 0.04^2 )\tiems \omega_f

\omega_f=12.2954 \,rad.s^{-1}

Frequency=1.9569\,rev.s^{-1}

Rank in order the following according to their speeds, from fastest to slowest: (i) 425-nm-wavelength light through a pane of gl
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

v > ii > iii > i > iv

Explanation:

The speed of light does not depend on the wavelength of light rather the medium through which it passes through.

v) The speed of light in a vacuum is maximum = 300000 km/s

ii) The speed of light in air = 2999910.026 km/s

iii) The speed of light in water = 2255639.097 km/s

i) The speed of light in glass = 1973684.210 km/s

iv) The speed of light in diamonds = 1239669.421 km/s

Hence the ranking will be

v > ii > iii > i > iv

Fig. 2.1 shows the extension-load graph for a spring.
trapecia [35]

Answer:

(1) Hooke's law

(2) a) Extension is directly proportional to the applied load

b) The starting point of the graph is the origin (0, 0) or absence of load, no extension

Explanation:

(1) The law obeyed by the spring is known as Hooke's law which states that the extension or compression, x, of a spring proportional to the applied force, F

F = -k × x

Where;

k = The spring constant

(2) Given that the law mathematically is F = -k × x

The two features of the graph that show that the law is obeyed are;

a) The extension increases as the load is increased

b) The extension is zero when the there is no applied load.
