Answer:
7.22 × 10²⁹ kg
Explanation:
For the material to be in place, the gravitational force on the material must equal the centripetal force on the material.
So, F = gravitational force = GMm/R² where M = mass of neutron star, m = mass of object and R = radius of neutron star = 17 km
The centripetal force F' = mRω² where R = radius of neutron star and ω = angular speed of neutron star
So, since F = F'
GMm/R² = mRω²
GM = R³ω²
M = R³ω²/G
Since ω = 500 rev/s = 500 × 2π rad/s = 1000π rad/s = 3141.6 rad/s = 3.142 × 10³ rad/s and r = 17 km = 17 × 10³ m and G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²
Substituting the values of the variables into M, we have
M = R³ω²/G
M = (17 × 10³ m)³(3.142 × 10³ rad/s)²/6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²
M = 4913 × 10⁹ m³ × 9.872 × 10⁶ rad²/s²/6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²
M = 48,501.942 × 10¹⁵ m³rad²/s² ÷ 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²
M = 7217.66 × 10²⁶ kg
M = 7.21766 × 10²⁹ kg
M ≅ 7.22 × 10²⁹ kg
If you put a penny in each light spot the penny that the light is shining on will recive the most energy.
Light waves travel in straight lines when they are travelling in a uniform medium. This is because the waves are travelling at the same speed.
Velocity, va2 = 10.5 ft/s
<u>Explanation:</u>
From the figure:
Length of the cable = Sa + 2Sb = l
∴ vₐ = -2vb
Applying the principle of Impulse and momentum in x-direction

Limit is t1 to t2
-(1)
Applying the principle of Impulse and momentum in y-direction

Limit is t1 to t2
-(2)
Solving equation (1) and (2), we obtain
T = 1.6lb
va2 = 10.5 ft/s
