A star with the same mass and diameter as the sun rotates about a central axis with a period of about 24.0 days. Suppose that th

e sun runs out of nuclear fuel and collapses to form a white dwarf star with a diameter equal to that of the earth. Assume the star acts like a solid sphere and that there is no loss of mass in the process. You will need some data from the inside front cover of you text. (a) What would be the new rotation period (s) of the star? (b) What is the ratio of final to initial kinetic energies (Kf /Ki)?

Answer:

a)  w = 2.52 10⁷ rad / s, b)  K / K₀ = 1.19 10⁴

Explanation:

a) We can solve this exercise using the conservation of angular momentum.

Initial instant. Before collapse

         L₀ = I₀ w₀

Final moment. After the collapse

         L_f = I w

angular momentum is conserved

        L₀ = L_f

         I₀ w₀ = I w                 (1)

         

The moment of inertia of a sphere is

        I = 2/5 m r²

we take from the table the mass and diameter of the star

        m = 1,991 10³⁰ kg

        r₀ = 6.96 10⁸ m

        r = 6.37 10⁶ m

to find the angular velocity let's use

       w = L / T

where the length of a circle is

      L = 2π r

      T = 24 days (24 h / 1 day) (3600 s / 1h) = 2.0710⁶ s

we substitute

      w = 2π r / T

      wo = 2π 6.96 10⁸ / 2.07 10⁶

      wo = 2.1126 10³ rad / s

we substitute in equation 1

      w = \frac{I_o}{I}

      w = 2/5 mr₀² / 2/5 m r² w₀

      w = (\frac{r_o}{r}) ² wo

      w = (6.96 10⁸ / 6.37 10⁶) ² 2.1126 10³

      w = 2.52 10⁷ rad / s

b) the kinetic energy ratio

      K = ½ m w²

       K₀ = ½ m w₀²

       K = ½ m w²

       K / K₀ = (w / wo) ²

       K / K₀ = 2.52 10⁷ / 2.1126 10³

       K / K₀ = 1.19 10⁴

Find the minor measurement of the vernier scale by taking 49, 1mm divisions of the main scale and dividing it into 50 vernier di
olga nikolaevna [1]
<h2>♨ANSWER♥</h2>

length of V-50 = 49mm

length of V-1 = 49/50mm

= 0.98mm

so,

minor measurement = (M-1) - (V-1)

= 1mm -0.98mm

= 0.02mm

☆ Therefore,

The minor measurement of the vernier scale is 0.02mm.

What is Marie's instantaneous speed at 20 minutes in miles/min?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

0.25miles/min

Explanation:

Instantaneous speed of a person or an object is its speed at a particular moment usually at a period of time.

The speedometer of a car reports the instantaneous speed.

 It can be mathematically expressed as;

        Instantaneous speed  = \frac{distance}{time}

At 20min the distance covered is 5miles;

    Instantaneous speed  = \frac{5 miles }{20mins}   = 0.25miles/min

A boat is traveling at 80 km/hr. How many hours will it take for the boat to cover a distance of 115 km?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

d = 115 km

r = 80 km/hr

t = ?

Equation

d = r*T

Solution

115 = 80 * t    Divide by 80

115/80 = t

t = 1.4375 hours.
