Halliday, Resnick & Walker โ Motion in Two and Three Dimensions: Problem 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 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 starโs equator and (b) what is the magnitude of the particleโs centripetal acceleration? (c) If the neutron star rotates faster, do the answers to (a) and (b) increase, decrease, or remain the same?
๐ Solution Approach
Given: 20 km
Find: (a) what is the speed of a particle on the starโs equator and; (b) what is the magnitude of the particleโs centripetal accelera; (c) If the neutron star rotates faster
