Neutron stars are extremely dense objects that are formed from the remnants of supernova explosions. Many rotate very rapidly. S

uppose the mass of a certain spherical neutron star is twice the mass of the Sun and its radius is 13.0 km. Determine the greatest possible angular speed the neutron star can have so that the matter at its surface on the equator is just held in orbit by the gravitational force. (The mass of the Sun is 1.99 1030 kg.)

Answer:

The required angular speed the neutron star is 10992.32 rad/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass of the sun M $_S$ = 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg

Mass of the neutron star

M $_N$ = 2( M $_S$ )

M $_N$ = 2( 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg )

M $_N$ = ( 3.98 × 10³⁰ kg )

Radius of neutron star R $_N$ = 13.0 km = 13 × 10³ m

Now, let mass of a small object on the neutron star be m

angular speed be ω $_N$ .

During rotational motion, the gravitational force on the object supplies the necessary centripetal force.

GmM $_N$ = / R $_N$ ² = mR $_N$ ω $_N$ ²

ω $_N$ ² = GM $_N$ = / R $_N$ ³

ω $_N$ = √(GM $_N$ = / R $_N$ ³)

we know that gravitational G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

we substitute

ω $_N$ = √( ( 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ )( 3.98 × 10³⁰ ) ) / (13 × 10³ )³)

ω $_N$ = √( 2.65466 × 10²⁰ / 2.197 × 10¹²

ω $_N$ = √ 120831133.3636777

ω $_N$ = 10992.32 rad/s

Therefore, The required angular speed the neutron star is 10992.32 rad/s

How does an electromagnet become permanent

love history [14]

<span>A moving electrical charge produces a magnetic field and a moving magnetic field produces an electrical field. An electromagnet works by coiling a bunch of wire and spinning a couple of magnets around that wire at high speeds. When this occurs the magnets induce an electric current in the wire and hence the electricity production. Once the magnets stop spinning, the induced electrical field dissipates and the current stops flowing through the wire.

You and a friend frequently play a trombone duet in a jazz band. During such performances it is critical that the two instrument

Rashid [163]

Answer:

f₂ = 468.67 Hz

Explanation:

A beat is a sudden increase and decrease of sound. The beats are produced through the interference of two sound waves of slightly different frequencies. Now we have the following data:

The higher frequency tone = f₁ = 470 Hz

No. of beats = n = 4 beats

Time period = t = 3 s

The lower frequency note = Frequency of Friend's Trombone = f₂ = ?

Beat Frequency = fb

So, the formula for beats per second or beat frequency is given as:

fb = n/t

fb = 4 beats/ 3 s

fb = 1.33 Hz

Another formula for beat frequency is:

fb = f₁ - f₂

f₂ = f₁ - fb

f₂ = 470 Hz - 1.33 Hz

<u>f₂ = 468.67 Hz</u>

.Find the uncertainty in a calculated electrical potential difference from the measurements of current and resistance. Electric

maw [93]

Answer:

a) The uncertainty in calculated V, ΔV = 25.3

b) The uncertainty in calculated v, Δv = 0.41 m/s

c) The uncertainty in calculated V, ΔV = 22.2 V

Explanation:

We'll use Upper-Lower Bounds method of uncertainty to estimate the uncertainties.

a) I = 5.1 A, ΔI = 0.3 A

I = (5.1 ± 0.3) A

R = 77.5 ohms, ΔR = 0.4 ohms

R = (77.5 ± 0.4) ohms

V = IR = 5.1 × 77.5 = 395.25 V

The lower bound for the voltage will be calculated using the lower bounds for the current and resistance

Iₗ = 5.1 - 0.3 = 4.8 A

Rₗ = 77.5 - 0.4 = 77.1 ohms

Vₗ = 4.8 × 77.1 = 370.08 V

The upper bound for the voltage will be calculated using the upper bounds for the current and resistance

Iᵤ = 5.1 + 0.3 = 5.4 A

Rᵤ = 77.5 + 0.4 = 77.9 ohms

Vᵤ = 5.4 × 77.9 = 420.66 V

The average of the differences from the mean voltage/true value is 25.3 V

V = 395.25 V, Δ = 25.3V

V = (395.25 ± 25.3) V

b) x = 2.9 m, Δx = 0.3 m

x = (2.9 ± 0.3) m

t = 4.4 s, Δt = 1.8 s

t = (4.4 ± 1.8) ohms

v = x/t = 2.9/4.4 = 0.659 m/s

The lower bound for average speed will be calculated using the lower bounds for distance and upper bounds for time.

xₗ = 2.9 - 0.3 = 2.6 m

tᵤ = 4.4 + 1.8 = 6.2 s

vₗ = 2.6/6.2 = 0.419 m/s

The upper bound for the average speed will be calculated using the upper bound for the distance and lower bound for time

xᵤ = 2.9 + 0.3 = 3.2 m

tₗ = 4.4 - 1.8 = 2.6 s

vᵤ = 3.2/2.6 = 1.231 m/s

The average of the differences from the mean average speed/true value is 0.41 m/s

v = 0.659 m/s, Δv = 0.41 m/s

v = (0.659 ± 0.41) m/s

c) ) I = 9.8 A, ΔI = 0.5 A

I = (9.8 ± 0.5) A

R = 40.5 ohms, ΔR = 0.2 ohms

R = (40.5 ± 0.2) ohms

V = IR = 9.8 × 40.5 = 396.9 V

The lower bound for the voltage will be calculated using the lower bounds for the current and resistance

Iₗ = 9.8 - 0.5 = 9.3 A

Rₗ = 40.5 - 0.2 = 40.3 ohms

Vₗ = 9.3 × 40.3 = 374.79 V

The upper bound for the voltage will be calculated using the upper bounds for the current and resistance

Iᵤ = 9.8 + 0.5 = 10.3 A

Rᵤ = 40.5 + 0.2 = 40.7 ohms

Vᵤ = 10.3 × 40.7 = 419.21 V

The average of the differences from the mean voltage/true value is 22.2 V

V = 396.9 V, Δ = 22.2 V

V = (396.9 ± 22.2) V

An electron emitted in the beta decay of bismuth-210 has a mean kinetic energy of 390 keV. (a) Find the de Broglie wavelength of

Sauron [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

The mean kinetic energy of the emitted electron, $E=390\ keV=390\times 10^3\ eV$

(a) The relation between the kinetic energy and the De Broglie wavelength is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2meE}}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 390\times 10^3}}$

$\lambda=1.96\times 10^{-12}\ m$

(b) According to Bragg's law,

$n\lambda=2d\ sin\theta$

n = 1

For nickel, $d=0.092\times 10^{-9}\ m$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\lambda}{2d})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.96\times 10^{-12}}{2\times 0.092\times 10^{-9}})$

$\theta=0.010^{\circ}$

As the angle made is very small, so such an electron is not useful in a Davisson-Germer type scattering experiment.
