A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star that emits a radio beam the way a lighthouse emits a light beam. We receive a radio

pulse for each rotation of the star. The period T of rotation is found by measuring the time between pulses. Suppose a pulsar has a period of rotation of T = 0.0922 s that is increasing at the rate of 3.64 x 10-7 s/y. (a) What is the pulsar's angular acceleration

Answer:

- 8.5 x 10^-12 rad/s²

Explanation:

Time period, T = 0.0922 s

dT / dt = 3.64 x 10^-7 s/year

As we know that

α = dω/dt

where, α is the angular acceleration and ω is the angular velocity

ω = 2π/T

\alpha =\frac{d\omega }{dt}

\alpha =\frac{d\left ( \frac{2\pi }{T} \right ) }{dt}

\alpha =-\frac{2\pi}{T^{2}}\times \frac{dT}{dt}

By substituting the values

\alpha =-\frac{2\times 3.14}{0.0922^{2}}\times \frac{3.64\times 10^{-7}}{365\times 24\times 3600}

α = - 8.5 x 10^-12 rad/s²

Answer:

-8.54883\times 10^{-12}\ rad/s^2

Explanation:

T = Time period = 0.0922 s

\dfrac{dT}{dt}=3.64\times 10^{-7}\ s/y

Angular speed is given by

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

Angular acceleration is given by

\alpha=\dfrac{d\omega}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{d\dfrac{2\pi}{T}}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-\dfrac{2\pi}{T^2}\dfrac{dT}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-\dfrac{2\pi}{0.0922^2}\times\dfrac{3.64\times 10^{-7}}{365.25\times 24\times 60\times 60}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-8.52541\times 10^{-12}\ rad/s^2

The pulsar's angular acceleration is -8.52541\times 10^{-12}\ rad/s^2

A 55-kg woman is wearing high heels. If each heel has a circular cross-section 6.0 mm in diameter and she puts all her weight on
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The pressure exerted by the woman on the floor is 1.9061 x 10⁷ N/m²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the woman, m = 55 kg

diameter of the circular heel, d = 6.0 mm

radius of the heel, r = 3.0 mm = 0.003 m

Cross-sectional area of the heel is given by;

A = πr²

A = π(0.003)²

A = 2.8278 x 10⁻⁵ m²

The weight of the woman is given by;

W = mg

W = 55 x 9.8

W = 539 N

The pressure exerted by the woman on the floor is given by;

P = F / A

P = W / A

P = 539 / (2.8278 x 10⁻⁵ )

P = 1.9061 x 10⁷ N/m²

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the woman on the floor is 1.9061 x 10⁷ N/m²

2- A car on a straight highway goes in the positive direction for 8 km and then backs up for 3.6 km. What are the distance and d
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

11.6km

4.4km in the negative direction

Explanation:

Distance is the total length of path covered and traveled by a body.

So, for this car on a straight line;

  Total distance  = 8km + 3.6km  = 11.6km

Displacement is the distance traveled along a path and the direction it takes.

It is a vector quantity with magnitude and directional attributes.

For this journey;

 Displacement  = 8km  - 3.6km  = 4.4km in the negative direction.
