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

sing a rope that will snap if the tension in it exceeds 361 N, you need to lower a bundle of old roofing material weighing 455 N
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

a)-2m/s^2

b)27.2m/s

Explanation:

Hello! The first step to solve this problem is to find the mass of the block remembering that the definition of weight force is mass by gravity (g=9.8m / s ^ 2)

W=455N=weight

W=mg

W=455N=weight

m=\frac{W}{g} =\frac{455}{9.81}=46.38kg

The second step is to draw the free body diagram of the body (see attached image) and use Newton's second law that states that the sum of the forces is equal to mass by acceleration

a=\frac{T-W}{m} =\frac{361-455}{46.38kg} =-2m/s^2

for point b we use the equations of motion with constant acceleration to find the velocity

Vf=\sqrt{X(2)(a)+Vo^2}

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed =0

A = acceleration =2m/s

X = displacement =6.8m

Solving

Vf=\sqrt{(6.8)(2)(2)+0^2}=27.2m/s

Ultraviolet light from a distant star is traveling at 3.0 × 108 m/s. how long will it take for the light to reach earth if it mu
castortr0y [4]

Given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

<h3>What is Speed?</h3>

Speed is simply referred to as distance traveled per unit time.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance ÷ time.

Given the data in the question;

  • Speed of the Ultraviolet light c = 3.0 × 10⁸m/s = 1.08 × 10⁹km/h
  • Distance it must cover d = 4.0 × 10¹³km
  • Time elapsed t = ?

We substitute our given values into the expression above.

Speed = Distance ÷ time

1.08 × 10⁹km/h = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ t

t = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ 1.08 × 10⁹km/h

t = 3.7 × 10⁴ hrs

Therefore, given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

A Carnot engine whose high-temperature reservoir is at 464 K has an efficiency of 25.0%. By how much should the temperature of t
nexus9112 [7]

Answer

given,

high temperature reservoir (T_c)= 464 K

efficiency  of reservoir (ε)= 25 %

temperature to decrease = ?

increase in efficiency = 42 %

now, using equation

 \epsilon = 1 - \dfrac{T_C}{T_H}

 0.25 = 1 - \dfrac{T_C}{464}

 T_C= (1 - 0.25) \times 464

 T_C= 0.75 \times 464

      T_C = 348 K

now,

if the efficiency is equal to 42$ = 0.42

 T_C= (1 - 0.42) \times 464

 T_C= 0.58 \times 464

 T_C= 269.12\ K
