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

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

F= 67.5 N

Explanation:

We use the equation for the Coulomb's Law of Force between two charges Q1 and Q2 (in Coulombs) separated by a distance d (in meters):

F=k\frac{Q1*Q2}{d^2}

where the constant k is the Coulomb's constant (9*10^9 N\frac{m^2}{C^2}

The charges are Q1=3.0*10^{-6}C, Q2=2.5*10^{-7}C; the distance we convert into meters to match the appropriate units of the Coulomb constant k (1 cm = 0.01 m)

Now we input all these data into the equation, knowing that given the appropriate units, the force will be expressed in Newtons (N):

F=k\frac{Q1*Q2}{d^2}\\F=9*10^9\frac{3.0*10^{-6}*2.5*10^{-7}}{0.01^2} N\\F= 67.5N

A 2.0-kg mass is oscillating about the origin at 24 rad/s. The amplitude of the oscillations is 0.040 m. At what position is the
Darya [45]

Answer:

0.0327 m

Explanation:

m = 2 kg

ω = 24 rad/s

A = 0.040 m

Let at position y, the potential energy is twice the kinetic energy.

The potential energy is given by

U = 1/2 m x ω² x y²

The kinetic energy is given by

K = 1/2 m x ω² x (A² - y²)

Equate both the energies as according to the question

1/2 m x ω² x y² = 2 x 1/2 m x ω² x (A² - y²)

y² = 2 A² - 2 y²

3y² = 2A²

y² = 2/3 A²

y = 0.82 A = 0.82 x 0.040 = 0.0327 m
