What is the average density of a neutron star that has the same mass as the sun but a radius of only 20.0 km?

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}}

Answer:

1.98V

Explanation:

V =IR

V =Voltage

I =Current

R = ResistanceV =IR\\V = 100 (0.0198)\\V = 1.98 volts\\Voltage 1.98V

The magnetic field strength at the north pole of a 2.0-cm-diameter, 8-cm-long Alnico magnet is 0.10 T. To produce the same field
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

N = 3032  turns

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a solenoid is described by

        B = μ₀ n I

Where is the permittivity in a vacuum with a value of 4π 10⁻⁷ N /A²,  n  is the turn density and I the current

Let's apply this equation to the problem, the turn density is the number of turns per unit length, in this case it is the same magnet length

       L = 8 cm = 0.08 m

Let's calculate

      B = μ₀ N/L   I

      N = B L / μ₀ I

      N = 0.10 0.08 / (4π 10⁻⁷  2.1)

      N = 3,032 103 turns

Explain why the moon is always half illuminated and half dark no matter where it is in the lunar cycle.
BlackZzzverrR [31]
The easiest way I know to explain it is this:

-- Take a flashlight and a ball into a dark room.

-- Turn on the flashlight and point it at the ball.

-- Half of the ball is lighted up by the flashlight, and the other half is dark.

-- There is no way you can turn or twist the ball to make more or less
than 50% of it lighted up and more or less than 50% of it dark.

<em>Everything</em> in the solar system ... as long as it's shaped like a ball ... is
half illuminated by the sun and half dark.
