Answer:

a) 7.2*10^55

b) 1.2*10^29 kg

c) 3.2*10^11 m/s

Explanation:

Given a diameter of 10 km, that's a radius of 5 km.

We first attempt to find its mass number

A = (r/1.2*10^-15)³

A = (5/1.5*10^-15)³

A = 7.2*10^55

This gotten mass number is then multiplied by the mass of each neutron in the star. With each neutron being, 1.7*10^-27

M = 7.5*10^55 * 1.7*10^-27

M = 1.2*10^29 kg

And finally, using the formula

g = GM/r², we can find its acceleration due to gravity.

g = (6.67*10^-11 * 1.2*10^29) / 5000²

g = 8*10^18 / 2.5*10^7

g = 3.2*10^11 m/s

A 12.0kg microwave oven is pushed 14.0m up the sloping surface of a loading ramp inclined at an angle 37 degrees above the horiz
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

a) What is the work done on the oven by the force F?

W = F * x

W = 120 N * (14.0 cos(37))

<<<< (x component)

W = 1341.71

b) F_f=\mu_k N

F_f=0.25\times12\times9.8

= 29.4 N

W_f= F_f\times x

W_f= 29.0\times 14 cos(37)

W_f= 328.72 J = 329 J

c) increase in the internal energy

U_2 = mgh

= 12*9.81*14sin(37)

= 991 J

d) the increase in oven's kinetic energy

U_1 + K_1 + W_other = U_2 + K_2

0 + 0 + (W_F - W_f ) = U_2 + K_2

1341.71 J - 329 J - 991 J = K_2

K_2 = 21.71 J

e) F - F_f = ma

(120N - 29.4N ) / 12.0kg = a

a = 7.55m/s^2

vf^2 = v0^2 + 2ax

vf^2 = 2(7.55m/s)(14.0m)  

V_f = 14.5396m/s

K = 1/2(mv^2)

K = 1/2(12.0kg)(14.5396m/s)

K = 87.238J

malfutka [58]

Answer:

define 1 second time

One second is the time that elapses during 9,192,631,770 (9.192631770 x 10 9 ) cycles of the radiation produced by the transition between two levels of the cesium 133 atom. ... One second is equal to 1/86,400 of a mean solar day.

How are mathematics and science related?
____ [38]
The relationship between math and science is very complicated, yet at the same time very simple. In fact all scientific equations are expressed into some form of mathematical equations. Science is a body of knowledge about the Universe. Mathematics is a language that can describe relationships and change in relationships in a rational way. Science generally uses mathematics as a tool to describe science and vice versa.
