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

Answer:

He could have many different hypothesis, but here is one.

Explanation:

If rubber bands are wider, then the rubber bands will stretch further, because the wider a rubber band is the stronger it is.

If an object is not accelerating, it can exist in what 2 other states of motion?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Friction is a force that acts in a direction opposite to the motion of the moving object.

Friction will cause a moving object to slow down and finally stop.

Kinematics
leonid [27]

Answer:

a)

a = 2 [m/s^2]

b)

a = 1.6 [m/s^2]

c)

xt = 2100 [m]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. But first we must identify what kind of movement is being studied.

a)

When the car moves from rest to 40 [m/s] by 20 [s], it has a uniformly accelerated movement, in this way we can calculate the acceleration by means of the following equation:

v_{f} = v_{i}+(a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 40 [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 0 (starting from rest)

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

t = time = 20 [s]

40 = 0 + (a*20)

a = 2 [m/s^2]

The distance can be calculates as follows:

v_{f} ^{2} =  v_{i} ^{2}+(2*a*x)

where:

x1 = distance [m]

40^2 = 0 + (2*2*x1)

x1 = 400 [m]

Now the car maintains its speed of 40 [m/s] for 30 seconds, we must calculate the distance x2 by means of the following equation, it is important to emphasize that this movement is at a constant speed.

v = x2/t2

where:

x2 = distance [m]

t2 = 30 [s]

x2 = 40*30

x2 = 1200 [m]

b)

Immediately after a change of speed occurs, such that the previous final speed becomes the initial speed, the new Final speed corresponds to zero, since the car stops completely.

v_{f} = v_{i}-a*t

Note: the negative sign of the equation means that the car is stopping, i.e. slowing down.

0 = 40 - (a *25)

a = 40/25

a = 1.6 [m/s^2]

The distance can be calculates as follows:

v_{f} ^{2}  = v_{i} ^{2} -2*a*x3\\

0 = (40^2) - (2*1.6*x3)

x3 = 500 [m]

c)

Now we sum all the distances calculated:

xt = x1 + x2 + x3

xt = 400 + 1200 + 500

xt = 2100 [m]

Porque deja de funcionar una estufa electrica cuando la electricidad es excesiva??
Brums [2.3K]
<h3>Porque deja de funcionar una estufa electrica cuando la electricidad es excesiva?</h3>

  • Es normal que los quemadores superiores de una estufa eléctrica o una estufa se enciendan y apaguen en configuraciones distintas a Hi. El quemador se encenderá y apagará más de lo normal cuando se utilizan cacerolas que no son planas o que son del tamaño incorrecto para el quemador.
