Under some circumstances, a star can collapse into an extremely dense object made mostly of neutrons and called a neutron star.

The density of a neutron star is roughly 10^14 times as great as that of ordinary solid matter. Suppose we represent the star as a uniform, solid, rigid sphere, both before and after the collapse. The star's initial radius was 7.0×10^5 km (comparable to our sun); its final radius is 18km .

Answer:

The angular speed of the neutron star is 3130.5 rad/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial radius r_{1}=7\times10^{5}\ km

Final radius r_{2}=18 km

Density of a neutron \rho= 10^{14}

Equal masses of two stars m_{1}=m_{2}

Suppose, If the original star rotated once in 35 days, find the angular speed of the neutron star

Time period of original star T =  35 days = 3024000 s

We need to calculate the initial angular speed of original star

Using formula of angular star

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}

Put the value into the formula

\omega_{1}=\dfrac{2\pi}{3024000}

\omega_{1}=0.00207\times10^{-3}\ rad/s

Let the initial moment of inertia of the star is

I_{1}=m_{1}r_{1}^2

Final moment of inertia of the star is

I_{2}=m_{2}r_{2}^2

From the conservation of angular momentum

I_{1}\omega_{1}=I_{2}\omega_{2}

\omega_{2}=\dfrac{I_{1}\omega_{1}}{I_{2}}

\omega_{2}=\dfrac{m_{1}r_{1}^2\omega_{1}}{m_{2}r_{2}^2}

Put the value into the formula

\omega_{2}=\dfrac{(7.0\times10^{5})^2\times0.00207\times10^{-3}}{18^2}

\omega_{2}=3130.5\ rad/s

Hence, The angular speed of the neutron star is 3130.5 rad/s.

Suppose the electric field in some region is found to be E = kr3 ˆr, in spherical coordinates (k is some constant). (a) Find the
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Part a)

\rho = 3\epsilon_0 k r^2

Part b)

Q = 4\pi \epsilon_0kR^5

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that electric field intensity due to some given charge distribution is given as

E = kr^3 \hat r

now electric flux through a spherical surface of radius r is given as

\phi = E. A

\phi = kr^3(4\pi r^2)

now by Guass law we know that

E.A = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

q = 4\pi \epsilon_0kr^5

now volume charge density is given as

\rho = \frac{q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3}

\rho = 3\epsilon_0 k r^2

Part b)

Total charge inside the radius R is given as

Q = 4\pi \epsilon_0kR^5

An empty semi-truck sits on the scale of a weighing station. It is then loaded with 100 irritated pigeons. These two events then
mina [271]

Answer:

The reading in the scale is going to be the same, or if it experiences some change it would be minimum. The reason is because the truck will act as a big closed cage, therefore, when the pigeons fly, the air they move with their wings in order to keep flying,  exerts the same force on the closed cage, that if they were standing on the ground.

If the truck however, allows the air flow, the weight might change, because under this scenario, the air flowing could represent less force exerted on the balance.

What is your displacement if you walk 100 m north, 20 m east, 30 m south, 50 m west, and then 70 m south?
velikii [3]
Displacement isn't total distance traveled, it's the distance from the original starting point. So the 70 meters South in addition to the 30 meters South would decrease the distance to the North. It would then, instead of being 100 meters North and 100 meters South, there would be zero displacement. Then you take 50-20 to get 30 meters West. Your final displacement is 30 meters.
