What supports a neutron star against the inward pull of its own gravity?
Homework Answers
Neutron stars don't collapse and form a black hole because the gravity of the star is balanced by it's outward force. The outward force comes due to neutron degeneracy.
The momentum of a neutron star is more. That puts an outward force over it's gravity and balances them. That's why it doesn't collapse to form a black hole.

Two identical probes are sent along the same path toward a neutron star. A neutron star is very dense, packing as much as 2 solar masses into a sphere with a radius on the order of 10 km. At the moment shown, the two probes are 57.5 km and 118 km away from the center of the neutron star, respectively. Find the distance between the center of mass of the two probe system and its center of gravity. Number km...

Formation of a Neutron Star A star rotates with a period of 29 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 radlus of 1.5 x 104 km, collapses into...
