Two objects, X and Y, are held at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface and a spring is compressed between them. The mass of

X is 2/5 times the mass of Y. Immediately after the spring is released, X has a kinetic energy of 50 J and Y has a kinetic energy of:

Answer:

20J

Explanation:

Using conservation law of momentum;

since the bodies were at rest, their initial momentum is zero

0 =  M1Vx + M2Vy

- M1Vx = M2Vy where Vx is the final velocity of x after the spring has been release and Vy is final velocity of y and M1 and M2 are the masses of x and y

also M1 = 2/5 M2

substitute M1 into the the equation above

-2/5 M2Vx =  M2Vy

cancel M2 on both side

-2/5Vx =  Vy

comparing the kinetic energy of both x and y

for x K.E = 1/2 M1 Vx²

and y K.E = 1/2M2 Vy²

substitute for M1 = 2/5 M2

K.Ex = 1/2 × 2/5 M2 Vx²

divide  K.Ex / K.Ey = (1/2 × 2/5 M2 Vx²) / 1/2 M2 Vy²

cancel the common terms

K.Ex / K.Ey = (2/5 Vx²) / Vy²

substitute -2/5Vx for Vy

(2/5 Vx²) / ( -2/5 Vx)² = (2/5 Vx²) / ( 4/25 Vx²)

cancel Vx²

(2/5) / (4/25) = 2/5 ÷ 4/25 = 2/5 × 25/4 = 5/2

the ratio of x and y kinetic energy is 5:2

since the kinetic energy of x is 50

50 : 20 = 5 : 2 if 10 is used to divide both sides

the kinetic energy of y = 20 J

Neutron stars are extremely dense objects that are formed from the remnants of supernova explosions. Many rotate very rapidly. S
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The required angular speed the neutron star is 10992.32 rad/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass of the sun M_S = 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg

Mass of the neutron star

M_N = 2( M_S )

M_N = 2( 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg )

M_N = ( 3.98 × 10³⁰ kg )

Radius of neutron star R_N = 13.0 km = 13 × 10³ m

Now, let mass of a small object on the neutron star be m

angular speed be ω_N.

During rotational motion, the gravitational force on the object supplies the necessary centripetal force.

GmM_N = / R_N² = mR_Nω_N²

ω_N² = GM_N = / R_N³

ω_N = √(GM_N = / R_N³)

we know that gravitational G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

we substitute

ω_N = √( (  6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ )( 3.98 × 10³⁰ ) ) / (13 × 10³ )³)

ω_N = √( 2.65466 × 10²⁰ / 2.197 × 10¹²

ω_N = √ 120831133.3636777

ω_N = 10992.32 rad/s

Therefore, The required angular speed the neutron star is 10992.32 rad/s
