What causes moon phases, rotation or revolution

Physics
1 answer:
pav-90 [236]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The Moon's monthly

cycle of phases

results from the

changing angle of

its illumination by the Sun.

Because its period of

revolution is the same as its

period of rotation, the Moon

always keeps the same face

toward Earth.

A string that passes over a pulley has a 0.341 kg mass attached to one end and a 0.625 kg mass attached to the other end. The pu
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The frictional torque is \tau  = 0.2505 \ N \cdot m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass attached to one end the string is m_1 =  0.341 \ kg

   The mass attached to the other end of the string is  m_2 =  0.625 \ kg

    The radius of the disk is  r = 9.00 \ cm  = 0.09 \ m

At equilibrium the tension on the string due to the first mass is mathematically represented as

      T_1 =  m_1 *  g

substituting values

      T_1 =  0.341 * 9.8

      T_1 =  3.342 \ N

At equilibrium the tension on the string due to the  mass is mathematically represented as

      T_2 =  m_2 *  g

     T_2 = 0.625 * 9.8

      T_2 = 6.125 \ N

The  frictional torque that must be exerted is mathematically represented as

      \tau  =  (T_2 * r ) - (T_1 * r )

substituting values  

     \tau  =  ( 6.125 * 0.09 ) - (3.342  * 0.09 )

     \tau  = 0.2505 \ N \cdot m

Certain neutron stars (extremely dense stars) are believed to be rotating at about 10 rev/s. If such a star has a radius of 18 k
Aleks [24]

Answer:

mass of the neutron star =3.45185×10^26 Kg

Explanation:

When the neutron star rotates rapidly, a material on its surface to remain in place, the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration on the central material must be equal to magnitude of the centripetal acc. of the rotating star.

That is

\frac{GM_{ns}}{R^2}= \omega^2 R

M_ns = mass odf the netron star.

G= gravitational constant = 6.67×10^{-11}

R= radius of the star = 18×10^3 m

ω = 10 rev/sec = 20π rads/sec

therefore,

M_{ns}= \frac{\omega^2R^3}{G} = \frac{4\pi^2\times(18\times10^3)^3}{6.67\times10^{-11}}

= 3.45185... E26 Kg

= 3.45185×10^26 Kg
