Please solve for Tf and how
fast the neuron star rotate in rotations per seconds.
Initial radius , Ri = 1.5e4 Km
Final radius, Rf = 4.9 Km
Initial time period = 29 days = 29 * 24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds = 2505600 sec
so,
Tf = (Rf / Ri)2 * Ti
Tf = (4.9 / 15000 )2 * 2505600
Tf = 0.267 seconds
Rotations per second will be the frequency
which is around 3.745 rotations / sec

1, A star with a mass of 1.25 × 1031 kg and a radius of 3.45 × 105 km is initially rotating on its axis with a period of 24.0 days. The star collapses and becomes a neutron star with a radius of 12.5 km, retaining all of its original mass. Assume the star is a uniform solid sphere before and after the collapse, with a moment of inertia given by (2/5)MR2. What is the period of rotation after collapse?...
need help on C.
Conservation of angular momentum A spherical star with radius R1 7.96 x 10 km and rotating with angular speed (o 3,92 x 10s rad/s suddenly collapses into a neutron star. The neutron star emits a beam of X-rays directed radially outward that can be seen by an observatory on the earth r 4.55 x 104 km from the star. The X-ray beam sweeps past the earth with a tangential speed v 7.40 x 10 km/s each...
already did problem 2 which is 2310 and the period is

Problem 2 5 x 1031 kg and a radius of 3.45 x 105 km is initially rotating on A star with a mass of 1.2 its axis with a period of 24.0 days (remember, the period is the time it takes to complete one full revolution). Suppose the star collapses in on itself and becomes a neutron star with a radius...
10*) The Sun has approximate radius 7×108 m, and rotates around
its axis once every 27 days. a) Find its angular velocity in rad/s,
and (assuming it is a uniform sphere) write a formula for its
angular momentum expressing it in terms of its mass M (you do not
need to substitute a value for M). b) Suppose the Sun were to
collapse to a neutron star, which is a much denser state, without
losing any mass and without being...
1. A moon of mass \(m\) orbits around a non-rotating planet of mass \(M\) with orbital angular velocity \(\Omega\). The moon also rotates about its own axis with angular velocity \(\omega\). The axis of rotation of the moon is perpendicular to the plane of the orbit. Let \(I\) be the moment of inertia of the moon about its own axis. You can assume \(m<<M\)so that the center ofmass of the system is at the center of the planet.(a) What is...
The tidal forces between the Earth and the Moon slowed down the Moon's rotation about its own axis until the rotation period became equal to the Moon's orbital period around the Earth as we observe today. The same effect is also slowing down the Earth's rotation about its own axis and increasing the separation \(D\) between the Moon and the Earth at a rate of \(\Delta D / \Delta t=3.8 \mathrm{~cm}\) per year. In this problem, you can ignore the...
