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

How to increase the current in a circuit
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

So to increase current of the circuit what you can do is :

1. Use conductor of low resistivity, ¶.

2. Use conductor of small length.

3. Use thick wire.

4. Decrease the temperature of the circuit.

5. If operating temprature is high than use semiconductor, because it have negative temprature coefficient.

6. Minimise the circuit losses.

Find the period of the leg of a man who is 1.83 m in height with a mass of 67 kg. The moment of inertia of a cylinder rotating a
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

T = 1.108\,s

Explanation:

The period of a physical pendulum is:

T = \sqrt{\frac{I_{O}}{m\cdot g \cdot L} }

T=2\cdot \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{1}{3}\cdot m \cdot L^{2} }{m\cdot g\cdot L} }

T=2\cdot \pi \sqrt{\frac{L }{3\cdot g} }

The length of the leg is approximately the height of the person:

L = 0.915\,m

The period is:

T = 2\cdot \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.915\,m}{3\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )} }

T = 1.108\,s

Consider a solid metal sphere (S) a few centimeters in diameter and a feather (F). For each quantity in the list that follows, i
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

A) Gravitational Force is greater in S.

B) Time taken to fall a given distance in air will be greater for F.

C) Both will take same time to fall in a vacuum.

D) Total force is greater in S.

Explanation:

(a) In this case, the gravitational force of S will be greater, because Newton's Second Law states that - F = ma, or weight =mg. g is constant. And mass of the solid metal is heavier.

(b) In this case, the time it will take for F to fall from a given distance in air will be greater than that of S, since the air resistance is not negligible (as in the case of S).

(c) In this, It will take same time for S and F because in a vacuum, there are no air particles, so there is no air resistance and gravity is the only force acting and so objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum.

(d) The total force will be greater in S than F because Force=ma and S is of heavier mass than F.
