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

A circular loop of wire of area 10 cm^2 carries a current of 25 A. At a particular instant, the loop lies in the xy-plane and is
S_A_V [24]

The magnetic dipole moment of the current loop is  0.025 Am².

The magnetic torque on the loop is 2.5 x 10⁻⁴  Nm.

<h3>What is magnetic dipole moment?</h3>

The magnetic dipole moment of an object, is the measure of the object's tendency to align with a magnetic field.

Mathematically, magnetic dipole moment is given as;

μ = NIA

where;

  • N is number of turns of the loop
  • A is the area of the loop
  • I is the current flowing in the loop

μ = (1) x (25 A) x (0.001 m²)

μ = 0.025 Am²

The magnetic torque on the loop is calculated as follows;

τ = μB

where;

  • B is magnetic field strength

B = √(0.002² + 0.006² + 0.008²)

B = 0.01 T

τ = μB

τ =  0.025 Am² x 0.01 T

τ = 2.5 x 10⁻⁴  Nm

Thus, the magnetic dipole moment of the current loop is determined from the current and area of the loop while the magnetic torque on the loop is determined from the magnetic dipole moment.

It says find the slope for each line I'm stuck on number one can you help me
Allushta [10]
\text{slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

(-2, -1)(3, 1)

Therefore,

\text{slope}=\frac{1-(-1)}{3-(-2)}=\frac{1+1}{3+2}=\frac{2}{5}

Breathing on a cold window can cause it to fog up. which change of state causes this
Dominik [7]
When you breathe on a cold window and it fogs up, that change of state is called: Condensation.

Condensation is: The process in which molecules of a gas slow down, come together, and form a liquid water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.

I know this because I learned it in science class in school.

Hope I helped!

Two Force one of 12 Newton and another 24 Newton acts at 90 degree with each other find the resultant of two force and its direc
Leona [35]

Answer:

Fr = 26.83 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the Pythagorean theorem, since the forces are vector quantities, that is, they have magnitude and density. Therefore the Pythagorean theorem is suitable for the solution of this problem.

F_{r}=\sqrt{(12)^{2}+(24)^{2}  } \\F_{r}=26.83[N]
