- Under 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_forwardSuppose 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_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_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_forwardNew 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_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. Calculate the axial and total angular momentum of the Earth.arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardWhy the precession angular speed of the earth is very slow?arrow_forwardCalculate the angular momentum (in kg · m2/s) of Mars in its orbit around the Sun. (The mass of Mars is 6.420 ✕ 1023 kg, the orbital radius is 2.279 ✕ 108 km and the orbital period is 1.88 y.) Compare this angular momentum with the angular momentum of Mars on its axis.
