Explain what happens when a massive star ends its life as a supernova

Physics
1 answer:
Bingel [31]3 years ago
6 0
The ultimate fate of a star depends on its mass.
A massive star ends with a violent explosion called a supernova.
The matter ejected in a supernova explosion becomes a glowing supernova remnant.

Toward the end of its life, a massive supergiant star has a central iron core, surrounded by a shell where silicon is being fused to iron, surrounded by a shell where oxygen is being fused, surrounded by a shell where carbon is being fused, surrounded by a shell where helium is being fused, surrounded by a shell where hydrogen is being fused.

A 1.5 kg orange falls from a tree and hits the ground in 0.75s. What is the speed of the orange just before it hits the ground?
Olenka [21]

The final speed of the orange is 7.35 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the orange is a free fall motion, since there is only the force of gravity acting on it. Therefore, it is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. So we can use the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the  final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time elapsed

For the orange in this problem, we have

u = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Substituting t = 0.75 s, we find the final velocity (and speed) of the orange:

v=0+(9.8)(0.75)=7.35 m/s

A brick of mass 1.15 kg is attached to a thin (massless) cable and whirled around in a circle in a vertical plane. The circle ha
stira [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the brick, m = 1.15 kg

Radius of the circle, r = 1.44 m

The cable will break if the tension exceeds 43.0 N

Let v is the maximum sped can have at the bottom of the circle before the cable will break. At the bottom of the circle, the net force is equal to the centripetal force along with the weight of the brick. So,

T=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg

\dfrac{T}{m}-g=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{(\dfrac{T}{m}-g)r}

v=\sqrt{(\dfrac{43}{1.15}-9.8)\times 1.44}

v = 6.30 m/s

So, the maximum speed of the brick at the bottom of the circle before the cable will break is 6.3 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the enthalpy change, ΔH, for this reaction? Show your work.
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

B) What is the enthalpy change, ∆H, for this reaction? Show your work to receive full credit (5 points) The enthalpy change is 150. To find it we must subtract energy of products (200) & the energy of reactants (50) so 200 – 50 equals 150.

Si el coeficiente de fricción cinética entre los neumáticos y el pavimento seco es de 0.80. ¿Cuál es la distancia mínima para de
vovangra [49]

Answer: 52.9 metros.

Explanation:

Podemos escribir la fuerza de fricción cinética como

F = μ*N

donde N es la fuerza normal entre el coche y el suelo, cuya magnitud es igual al peso en esta situación.

F = μ*m*g

donde m es la masa del coche y g es 9.8m/s^2

y sabemos que μ = 0.8

Por la segunda ley de Newton, sabemos que:

F = m*a

fuerza es igual a masa por aceleración.

a = F/m

entonces la aceleración causada por la fuerza de rozamiento es:

F = 0.8*m*g

a = F/m = (0.8*m*g)/m = 0.8*g.

Entonces ya encontramos la aceleración, hay que recordar que esta aceleración es en sentido opuesto a la sentido de movimiento, entonces podemos escribir la aceleración como:

a(t) = -0.8*g

Para la velocidad, podemos integrar sobre el tiempo para obtener.

v(t) = -0.8*g*t + v0

donde v0 es la velocidad inicial del auto = 28.7m/s

v(t) = -0.8*g*t + 28.8m/s

Ahora podemos encontrar el tiempo necesario para que la velocidad del coche sea cero, en ese momento, como deja de moverse, ya no tendremos rozamiento cinético, entonces no habrá aceleración y el coche se detendrá completamente.

v(t) = 0m/s = -0.8*9.8m/s^2*t + 28.8m/s

7.84m/s^2*t = 28.8m/s

                 t   = (28.8m/s)/(7.84m/s^2) = 3.63 segundos.

Ahora vamos a la ecuación de movimiento, donde asumimos que la posición inicial del coche es 0m, así que no tendremos constante de integración.

p(t) = -(1/2)*(0.8*9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + 28.8m/s*t

Ahora podemos evaluar la posición en t = 3.63 segundos, y esto nos dara la distancia que el coche se movio mientras frenaba.

p(3.63s) = -(1/2)*(0.8*9.8m/s^2)*(3.63s)^2 + 28.8m/s*(3.63s) = 52.9 metros.
