- If the measured angular diameter of the Sun subtends at the Earth is 32 minutes of arc. Find the radius of the sun.arrow_forwardThe corner of a plate selected as the origin is also the axis of rotation about the z-axis as shown in the figure below. The dimensions of the plate are x = 31 cm, y = 12 cm and thickness = 3.0 cm. The plate has a density of 2,575 kg/m3. Two 6 cm diameter holes are drilled through the plate. The location of the center of the first hole is at x1 = 20 cm and y1 = 4.0 cm and location of the center of the second hole is at x2 = 4 cm and y2 = 6.3 cm. What is the mass moment of inertia for the plate? (Enter your answer and round to 4 decimal places of a kg·m2arrow_forwardUnder some circumstances, a star can collapse into an extremely dense object made mostly of neutrons and called a neutron star. A star with a of mass of 2.0x1032 kg and radius 7.0x108 m is initially rotating at a rate of once every 30 days. The star collapses into a neutron star with the same mass but a new radius of 16,000 m. What is the angular speed of the star? (Give your answer in rotations per second.) Assume the star is a solid sphere: Isphere = 2/5 MR2. The Crab Nebula (shown below) formed from a nearby supernova (6000 light years away). Chinese astronomers observed the event in the year 1054 and since that time the nebula has been expanding into what it appears like today. The Crab Pulsar is a neutron star at the center of the nebula and the remains of the original supernova.arrow_forward
- Suppose that the Sun runs out of nuclear fuel and suddenly collapses to form a white dwarf star. The size shrinks and became as big as earth. Assuming that there is no loss in mass and it maintained to be a solid sphere, what would be the little white dwarf star's rotation period. The present rotation of the sun is about 25 days. Earth's radius = 6.37x10^6 Sun's radius = 6.96x10^8arrow_forwardEarth is rotating about the Sun in our solar system. The distance between the Earth and Sun is 1.5 × 10^11m. Consider the impact of an asteroid of mass 8.9 ×1015 kg and a speed of 90,000 km/h with respect to the Earth’s surface. The asteroid strikes the Earth at the equator as shown in Figure. Consider the mass and radius of the Earth are ME = 5.97 × 10^24 kg and RE = 6.38 ×10^6 m, respectively. Assume that the axial and orbital axis of rotations are parallel to each other. (a) Calculate the axial and total angular momentum of the Earth. (b) What is the change in the angular velocity of the Earth due to the collision? (c) What is the maximum possible change in the length of a day due to the collision? (d) How much energy is needed to stop the Earth’s rotation about its axis after the collision? (e) What would be the moment of inertia of the Earth if the axis of rotation is parallelly shifted so that it touches the equator?arrow_forwardIf the earth warms significantly, the polar ice caps will melt. Water will move from the poles, near the earth’s rotation axis, and will spread out around the globe. In principle, this will change the length of the day. Why? Will the length of the day increase or decrease?arrow_forward
- A star rotates with a period of 30 days about an axis through its center. The period is the time interval required for a point on the star's equator to make one complete revolution around the axis of rotation. After the star undergoes a supernova explosion, the stellar core, which had a radius of 1.0 x 104 km, collapses into a neutron star of radius 3.0 km. Determine the period of rotation of the neutron star.arrow_forwardThe term precession of the equinoxes refers to the fact that Earth's spin axis does not stay fixed, but instead sweeps out a cone once every 26,000 years. (This explains why our pole star, Polaris, will not remain the pole star forever.) The reason for this instability is that Earth is a giant gyroscope. The spin axis of Earth precesses because of the torques exerted on it by the gravitational forces of the Sun and moon. The angle between the direction of Earth's spin axis and the normal to the ecliptic plane (the plane of Earth's orbit) is 22.5 degrees. What is the approximate value for this torque t, given that the period of rotation of Earth is 1.00 day and its moment of inertia is 8.03 × 10³7 kg⋅m²? T = 4.5 ×1023 Incorrect N.marrow_forwardAt the end of its life, a star can collapse from the size of our Sun to the size of the Earth. The star then becomes a so-called White Dwarf. When the collapse takes place, the mass of the star stays the same. Stars generally spin around their own axis. What happens to the angular velocity of the spinning star when it collapses to become a White Dwarf ?arrow_forward
- New York is roughly 3000 miles from Seattle. When it is 10:00a.m. in Seattle, it is 1:00 p.m. in New York. Using this information,estimate (a) the rotational speed of the surface of Earth, (b) thecircumference of Earth, and (c) the radius of Earth.arrow_forwardThe source of the Mississippi River is closer to the center of the Earth than is its outlet in Louisiana (because the Earth is fatter at the equator than at the poles). Explain how the Mississippi can flow “uphill.”arrow_forwardEarth is rotating about the Sun in our solar system. The distance between the Earth and Sun is 1.5 × 10^11m. Consider the impact of an asteroid of mass 8.9 ×10^15 kg and a speed of 90,000 km/h with respect to the Earth’s surface. The asteroid strikes the Earth at the equator as shown in Figure. Consider the mass and radius of the Earth are ME = 5.97 × 10^24 kg and RE = 6.38×10^6 m, respectively. Assume that the axial and orbital axis of rotations are parallel to each other.
