Certain neutron stars (extremely dense stars) are believed to be rotating at about 1 rev/s. If such a star has a radius of 20 km, what must be its minimum mass so that material on its surface remains in place during the rapid rotation?
At least a good four or five billion
years
from
now the Sun will become a "dead" white
st! to
dwarf staC, shrinking to about 1% of its
1*%
current radius. Assume it
loses no mass
in this process, If the sun currently rotates
once every thirty days, then how many radians
per second will it be rotating at after it
changes into a white dwarf?
The evolution of a star depends on its size. If a star is sufficiently large, the gravity forcesholding it together may be large enough to collapse it into a very dense object composed mostlyof neutrons. The density of such a neutron star is about 1014 times that of the earth. Suppose thata star initially had a radius about that of our sun, 7 × 108 km, and that it rotated once every 26 days,as our sun does. What would be the period of rotation (the time for 1 rev) if the star collapsed to aradius of 15 km?
