Pulsar Points:40 A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star that emits radio pulses with precise synchronization, there being one such pulse for each rotation of the star. The period T of rotation is found by measuring the time between pulses. At present, the pulsar in the central region of the Crab nebula has a period of rotation of T = 0.01000000 s, and this is observed to be increasing at the rate of 0.00000127 s/y. What is the angular velocity of the star? = Submit Answer Tries 0/40 What is the angular acceleration of the pulsar? Submit Answer Tries 0/40 If its angular acceleration is constant, in how many years will the pulsar stop rotating? Submit Answer Tries 0/40 The pulsar originated in a super-nova explosion in the year A.D. 1054. What was the period of rotation of the pulsar when it was born? Submit Answer Tries 0/40
