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

Runaway truck ramps are common on mountainous highways in case the brakes fail on large trucks. If a
dusya [7]

Answer:

W=-21,870,000\ J

Explanation:

<u>Work and Kinetic Energy </u>

The work an object does due to its motion is equal to the change of its kinetic energy. Being ko and k1 the initial and final kinetic energy respectively and m the mass of the object, then

W=\Delta k=k_1-k_0

Since

\displaystyle k=\frac{mv^2}{2}

We have

\displaystyle W=\frac{mv_1^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}

The truck has a mass of 60,000 kg and is moving at 27 m/s. The runaway truck ramp must stop the truck, so the final speed is 0. Thus

\displaystyle W=\frac{(60,000)0^2}{2}-\frac{(60,000)(27)^2}{2}

W=0-21870000\ J

\boxed{W=-21,870,000\ J}

Which is not true of the Intertropical Convergence Zone?A) It features heavy precipitation B) It's where the trade winds collide
olasank [31]
<h2>Answer: C) It's a high-pressure zone with sinking air</h2>

Explanation:

The intertropical convergence zone is the region of the terrestrial globe where the trade winds of the northern hemisphere converge with those of the southern hemisphere.  

It is characterized by being <u>a belt of low pressure</u> and inconsistent location around the equator constituted by ascending air currents, where large masses of warm and humid air converge from the north and south of the intertropical zone.  

The reason of its inconsistent location is due to the movements of the Earth with the seasons, having as a consequence the amount variation of heat energy from the sun in this region.
