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

What happens when the density of a medium increases
Anvisha [2.4K]
We all know that the sound travels faster through solids and then liquids and then through gases.
As far as i know solids are the medium through which the sound travels fast.

But in some websites I saw that as the density increases , the velocity of the sound decreases.If this statement is correct , how come the sound travels fastest through solids (since they have higher density) 

From this it is clear that not only sound as compression wave But also in the form of Shear wave travels in Solids

This makes it easier for sound to travel with higher speed in solids

A dart gun consists of a horizontal spring with k = 52 Newtons/m that is compressed 43
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

299 m/s^2

Explanation:

When a spring is compressed, the force exerted by the spring is given by:

F=kx

where

k is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

In this problem we have:

k = 52 N/m is the spring constant

x = 43 cm = 0.43 m is the compression

Therefore, the force exerted by the spring on the dart is

F=(52)(0.43)=22.4 N

Now we can apply Newton' second law of motion to calculate the acceleration of the dart:

F=ma

where

F = 22.4 N is the force exerted on the dart by the spring

m = 75 g = 0.075 kg is the mass of the dart

a is its acceleration

Solving for a,

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{22.4}{0.075}=299 m/s^2
