A large spherical gas cloud of radius = 5 x109 km has a mass = 2.4 x1030 kg, and is spinning to make one revolution in 60 years (i.e. Earth years, each of 365 days of 24 hours each). Due to gravity, the cloud gets smaller to a radius = 1.2 x106 km. What will be its period of rotation in minutes?

2. Earth is rotating about the Sun in our solar system. The distance between the Earth and Sun
is 1.5 x 10"m. Consider the impact of an asteroid of mass 8.9 ×105 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 x 1024 kg and RE = 6.38
x10° 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?
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 = 6.96x10^8
