What would be your weight on the surface of a neutron star

Reference no: EM13550464

Neutron stars, such as the one at the center of the Crab Nebula, have about the same mass as our sun but a much smaller diameter. If you weigh 660N on the earth, what would be your weight on the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of 15.0km? Take the mass of the sun to be = 1.99×10^30kg , the gravitational constant to be G = 6.67×10?11N*m^2/kg^2 , and the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface to be g= 9.810m/s^2 .

Calculate the amplitude of the harmonic motion : An object with mass 3.8{\rm kg} is attached to a spring with spring stiffness constant 220{\rm N/m} and is executing simple harmonic motion. When the object is 2.1×10?2{\rm m} from its equilibrium position, it is moving with a speed of 0.55 {\rm m..

The earths gravity pulls on the moon : The Earth's gravity pulls on the Moon, causing it to orbit. However, by Newton’s third law, it is known that the Moon exerts a force back on the Earth. Therefore, the Earth should move in response to the Moon. Thus a more accurate statement is, "T..

What is the maximum speed the ball can have : A 0.60-kg ball, attached to the end of a horizontal cord, is rotated in a circle of radius 1.1m on a frictionless horizontal surface. If the cord will break when the tension in it exceeds 75N , what is the maximum speed the ball can have?

Generator coils have number of turns-rotate angular speed : One generator uses a magnetic field of 0.10 T and has a coil area per turn of 0.045 m2. A second generator has a coil area per turn of 0.020 m2. The generator coils have the same number of turns and rotate at the same angular speed.

Voltage and current at generator end of transmission line is : A lossless transmission line is connected to a load of ZL=30 ohms at one end and a sinusoidal voltage generator at the other end, with Vg = 1? 0o (V) at the other end. The characteristic impedance and the length of the transmission line are Zo = 5..

The voltage of the battery in the circuit : Suppose that the voltage of the battery in the circuit is 3.3 V, the magnitude of the magnetic field (directed perpendicularly into the plane of the screen) is 0.66 T, and the length of the rod between the rails is 0.23 m. Assuming that the rails are..

Deriving the hawking temperature : Deriving the Hawking temperature T = (hbar)c^3/8(pi)kBGM rigorously from quantum field theory is beyond our scope. However, we can make its form plausible by the following considerations. Assume a particle– antiparticle pair having a rest mass m..
