A neutron star is a cold, collapsed star with nuclear density. A particular neutron star has a mass twice that of our Sun with a radius of 12.0 km. (a) What would be the weight of a 100-kg astronaut on standing on its surface? (b) What does this tell us about landing on a neutron star?
A new type of force was discovered by physicists with the following expression:Fnew = a/x +Be^x+3x^4 where alpha & beta are constants, and x is the position. The expression above was obtained from the interaction of a massless Higgs Boson (a type of particle) and a black hole quantum physicists then decides to design and build a machine that is able to move the Higgs Boson from x2 to x1. How much work should the machine do to achieve this feat? (For simplicity, consider that no energy is lost in the process) to determine the work done we apply the following and make sure to follow the instructions.
Consider a binary star system that has bright lines at 656.72 and 656.86 nm. Assume that the stars are of roughly equal mass and moving in a circular orbit these spectral lines correspond to the 656.46-nm hydrogen line in the rest frame, estimate the speed V of the center of mass of the binary system which is 151 km/s how do I find the mass M of each star.
The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of objects. A 14C nucleus can change into a different kind of element, a neighbor on the periodic table with lower mass, by emitting a beta particle – an electron or positron – plus a neutrino or an anti-neutrino. Consider the scenario where 14C ( mass of 2.34 x 10 -26) decays by emitting an electron and anti neutrino. The electron has a mass of 9.11x 10-31 kg and a speed of 1.0 x107 m/s. While the anti neutrino has a momentum of 4.0x10-24 kg-m/s. If the electron and anti neutrino are emitted at right angles from each other, calculate the recoil speed of the nucleus.
The escape velocity from a massive object is the speed needed to reach an infinite distance from it and have just slowed to a stop, that is, to have just enough kinetic energy to climb out of the gravitational potential well and have none left. You can find the escape velocity by equating the total kinetic and gravitational potential energy to zero E=12mv2esc−GmM/r=0E=12mvesc2−GmM/r=0 vesc=2GM/r−−−−−−√vesc=2GM/r where GG is Newton's constant of gravitation, MM is the mass of the object from which the escape is happening, and rr is its radius. This is physics you have seen in the first part of the course, and you should be able to use it to find an escape velocity from any planet or satellite. For the Earth, for example the escape velocity is about 11.2 km/s, and for the Moon it is 2.38 km/s. A very important point about escape velocity: it does not depend on what is escaping. A spaceship or a molecule must have this velocity or more away from the center of the planet to be free…
QUESTION 2: Apply the energy interaction model to the two-masses-over-a-pulley situation. Model this system as if the pulley is massless and frictionless, so you won't have to worry about energy systems associated with the pulley system. Take the initial state to be you just release the masses (what is vi? what is delta-v?) Take the final state to be when the masses have a distance d and have speed but before they hit anything or out of string. (since d denotes a distance, it is a positive number: delta-y = +/- d, as appropriate) 2. when you substitute algebraic expressions for changes in individual energy systems in the algebraic representations of your particular Energy-Interaction Models, you will find the symbols m, M, g, v, and d useful. Watch your "minus signs"!

They are initially at rest with respect to each other. As measured from that rest frame, how fast are they moving when (a) their separation has decreased to one-half its initial value and (b) they are about to collide?

A linear particle accelerator using beta particles collides electrons with their anti-matter counterparts, positrons. The accelerated electron hits the stationary positron with a velocity of 19 x 106 m/s, causing the two particles to annihilate.If two gamma photons are created as a result, calculate the energy of each of these two photons, giving your answer in MeV (mega electron volts), accurate to 1 decimal place. Take the mass of the electron to be 5.486 x 10-4 u, or 9.109 x 10-31 kg.Note: Assume that the kinetic energy is also converted into the gamma rays, and is included in the two photons.

The Schwarzschild radius RBH for an object of mass M is defined as (See image.) where c is the speed of light and G is the universal gravitational constant. RBH gives the radius of the event horizon of a black hole with mass M. In other words, it gives the radius to which some amount of mass M would need to be compressed in order to form a black hole. 1. The mass of the Sun is about 1.99 × 1030 kg. What would be the radius of a black hole with this mass? 2. The mass of Mars is about 6.42 × 1023 kg. What would be the radius of a black hole with this mass? 3. Suppose you want to make a black hole that is roughly the size of an atom (take RBH = 1.10 x 10-10 m). What would be the mass M of such a black hole?
