A rotating star collapses under the influence of gravitational forces to form a pulsar. The radius of the pulsar is 5.00 × 10−4 times the radius of the star before collapse. There is no change in mass. In both cases, the mass of the star is uniformly distributed in a spherical shape.
If the period of the star’s rotation before collapse is 4.00 × 104 s, what is its period after collapse?
Solve and explain. What is the mass of the sun using the period of the Earth which is 365 days and its distance from the sun of 147.38 million km?
The radius of Earth is 6370 km, and its orbital speed about the Sun is 30 km/s. Suppose Earth moves past an observer at this speed. To the observer, by how much does Earth’s diameter contract along the direction of motion?

- A massive black hole is believed to exist at the center of our galaxy (and most other spiral galaxies). Since the 1990s, astronomers have been tracking the motions of several dozen stars in rapid motion around the center. Their motions give a clue to the size of this black hole. a. One of these stars is believed to be in an approximately circular orbit with a radius of about 1.50 103 AU and a period of approximately 30 yr.
