Answer: 5.935(10)^{13}g/cm^{3}}

Explanation:

Density is a characteristic property bodies and materials, and is defined as the relationship between the mass m and the volume V, as shown below:

D=\frac{m}{V}  (1)

In the case of the neutron star, we know it has the same mass as the Sun:

m=1.989(10)^{30}kg

And its radius is r=20km

On the other hand, if we assume this neutron star has a spherical shape, its volume  can be calculated by the following formula:

V=V_{sphere}=\frac{4}{3}\pir^{3}   (2)

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi(20km)^{3}   (3)

V=33510.321km^{3}   (4)

Substituting (4) in (1):

D=\frac{1.989(10)^{30}kg}{33510.321km^{3}}  (5)

Finally:

D=5.935(10)^{25}kg/km^{3}}=5.935(10)^{13}g/cm^{3}}

Is an imaginary "line" from the earth to the moon a line, a ray, or a segment? Why?
igomit [66]

Answer;

- Line segment

Explanation;

"from earth to moon" implies endpoints at both locations and it is thus a line segment

A line extends forever in both directions, a line segment is just part of a line. It has two endpoints, and a ray starts at one point and continues on forever in one direction.

A tennis ball, 0.314kg, is accelerated at a rate of 164m/s2 when hit by a professional tennis player. What force does the player
Colt1911 [192]

Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

= (0.314 kg) x (164 m/s²)

=  51.5 newtons

(about 11.6 pounds).

Notice that the ball is only accelerating while it's in contact with the racket. The instant the ball loses contact with the racket, it stops accelerating, and sails off in a straight line at whatever speed it had when it left the strings.

Find the velocity, acceleration, and speed of a particle with the given position function. r(t = t2i 6tj 4 ln t k
artcher [175]
1st derivative gives velocity;
d r(t)/ dt = 2t i + 6 j + 4/t k

2nd derivative gives acceleration;
d^2 r(t)/ dt^2 = 2 i - 4/ t^2

Speed ;
Square root of (4 t^2 + 36 + 16/ t^2)

For a given time, like 2 seconds, t will be 2. And answer of speed will be scalar.
