Wow ! I understand your shock. I shook and vibrated a little
when I looked at this one too.
The reason for our shock is all the extra junk in the question,
put there just to shock and distract us.
"Neutron star", "5.5 solar masses", "condensed burned-out star".
That's all very picturesque, and it excites cosmic fantasies in
out brains when we read it, but it's just malicious decoration.
It only gets in the way, and doesn't help a bit.
The real question is:
What is the acceleration of gravity 2000 m from
the center of a mass of 1.1 x 10³¹ kg ?
Acceleration of gravity is
G · M / R²
= (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²) · (1.1 x 10³¹ kg) / (2000 m)²
= (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ · 1.1 x 10³¹ / 4 x 10⁶) (N) · m² · kg / kg² · m²
= 1.83 x 10¹⁴ (kg · m / s²) · m² · kg / kg² · m²
= 1.83 x 10¹⁴ m / s²
That's about 1.87 x 10¹³ times the acceleration of gravity on
Earth's surface.
In other words, if I were standing on the surface of that neutron star,
I would weigh 1.82 x 10¹² tons, give or take.
The answer is destructive interference. You have this for both C and D. I suspect one of C or D is supposed to be constructive interference... But destructive interference is the answer
-- The table tennis ball bounces back with virtually its entire original speed.
-- The bowling ball rolls forward, so slowly that only complex expensive laboratory equipment can detect and measure its speed.
-- Once again, momentum is conserved !
Answer:
Explanation:
= Change in frequency = 2.1 Hz
= Frequency of source of sound = 440 Hz
= Maximum of the microphone
= Speed of sound = 343 m/s
= Time period = 2 s
We have the relation
Amplitude is given by
The amplitude of the simple harmonic motion is .
