Walker, Halliday & Resnick โ€” Motion in Two and Three Dimensions: Problem 61

61 When a large star becomes a supernova, its core may be compressed so tightly that it becomes a neutron star, with a radius of about $20\text{ km}$ (about the size of the San Francisco area). If a neutron star rotates once every second, (a) what is the speed of a particle on the starโ€™s equator and (b) what is the magnitude of the particleโ€™s centripetal acceleration? (c) If the neutron star rotates faster, do the answers to (a) and (b) increase, decrease, or remain the same?

๐Ÿ“ Solution Approach

Find: (a) what is the speed of a particle on the starโ€™s equator and; (b) what is the magnitude of the particleโ€™s centripetal accelera; (c) If the neutron star rotates faster
