(II) Suppose our Sun eventually collapses into a white dwarf,losing about half its mass in the process, and winding upwith a radius 1.0% of its existing radius. Assuming the lostmass carries away no angular momentum, (a) what would theSun’s new rotation rate be? Take the Sun’s current period tobe about 30 days. (b) What would be its final kinetic energyin terms of its initial kinetic energy of today?
A star of radius R = 2.3 * 108m rotates with an angular speed v = 2.4 * 10-6rad>s. Ifthis star collapses to a radius of 20.0 km, find its final angular speed. (Treat the star as if itwere a uniform sphere, and assume that no mass is lost as the star collapses.)
At what rate, in watts, is the Earth losing rotational kinetic energy due to tidal braking? [Hint:The rotational kinetic energy of the earth,Erot=0.5I⊕ω2, where ω= 2π/P is the rotational angular speed,Pbeing the Earth’s rotationalperiod. The moment of inertia of the Earth, I⊕=(2/5)M⊕R⊕2.]
