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 10.0 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.

Answer:

16294 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that

M(ns) = 2M(s), where

M(s) = 1.99*10^30 kg, so that

M(ns) = 3.98*10^30 kg

Again, R(ns) = 10 km

Using the law of gravitation, the force between the Neutron star and the sun is..

F = G.M(ns).M(s) / R²(ns), where

G = 6.67*10^-11, gravitational constant

Again, centripetal force of the neutron star is given as

F = M(ns).v² / R(ns)

Recall that v = wR(ns), so that

F = M(s).w².R(ns)

For a circular motion, it's been established that the centripetal force is equal to the gravitational force, hence

F = F

G.M(ns).M(s) / R²(ns) = M(s).w².R(ns)

Making W subject of formula, we have

w = √[{G.M(ns).M(s) / R²(ns)} / {M(s).R(ns)}]

w = √[{G.M(ns)} / {R³(ns)}]

w = √[(6.67*10^-11 * 3.98*10^30) / 10000³]

w = √[2.655*10^20 / 1*10^12]

w = √(2.655*10^8)

w = 16294 rad/s

Express the vector R<br> B<br> in terms of A, B, C, and Ď, the edges of a<br> parallelogram.
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

R=0.5B+0.5C+2A+D

Explanation:

By the triangular law of vector addition

vector R= vector B- vector D

As A,B,C,D are edges of the parallelogram,

A is parallel to D but opposite in direction.

Therefore

A = (-D);A//D;

2A=-2D

B is parallel to C and in same direction.

B//C\\B=C\\

0.5B=0.5C\\

R= B-D;\\R= 0.5B+0.5B-D;\\R=0.5B+0.5C-D;\\R=0.5B+0.5C-2D+D;\\R=0.5B+0.5C+2A+D;

A 15kg dog jumps out of a 40kg canoe. If the dogs velocity is 1.2m/s, what is the velocity of the canoe?
vivado [14]

Answer:

v = -0.45 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the canoe was initially at rest with momentum L = 0

and that the dog's velocity is in the positive direction

conservation of momentum

0 = 15(1.2) + 40v

v = -0.45 m/s

An American traveler in China carries a transformer to convert China's standard 220 V to 120 V so that she can use some small ap
Arisa [49]

Answer:

(a) The ratio of turns in the primary and secondary coils of her transformer is 1.833

(b) The ratio of input to output current is 0.55

(c) To increase the output voltage, you can either increase the number of turns in the secondary coil (step-up) or increase the input current. Therefore, the Chinese person has to increase the input current of the transformer to achieve an increased output voltage that can power her 220 V appliances.

Explanation:

Given;

input voltage, V_p = 220 V

output voltage, V_s = 120 V

General transformer equation is given as;

\frac{V_p}{V_s} = \frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{I_s}{I_p}

where;

Np is number of turns in the primary coil

Ns is number of turns in the secondary coil

Is - is the secondary current or output current

Ip - is the primary current or input current

(a) The ratio of turns in the primary and secondary coils of her transformer;

\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{V_p}{V_s} \\\\\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{220}{120} = 1.833

(b) The ratio of input to output current;

\frac{I_p}{I_s} = \frac{V_s}{V_p} \\\\\frac{I_p}{I_s} = \frac{120}{220} \\\\\frac{I_p}{I_s} = 0.55

(c) To increase the output voltage, you can either increase the number of turns in the secondary coil (step-up) or increase the input current. Therefore, the Chinese person has to increase the input current of the transformer to achieve an increased output voltage that can power her 220 V appliances.
