Y Part A Consider a neutron star with a mass equal to the sun, a radius of 11 km, and a rotation period of 1.0 B. What is the speed of a point on the equator of the star? Express your answer with the appropriate units. View Available Hints) Large stars can explode as they finish burning their nuclear fuel, causing a supernova. The explosion blow away the outer layers of the star. According to Newton's third law, the forces that push the outer layers away have reaction forces that are inwardly directed on the core of the star. These forces compress the core and can cause the core to undergo a gravitational collapse. The gravitational forces keep puling all the matter together sighter and tighter, crushing atoms out of existence. Under these extreme conditions, a proton and an electron can be squeezed together to form a neutron. If the collapse is halted when the neutrons all come into contact with each other, the result is an object called a neutron star, an entire star consisting of solid nuclear manter. Many noutron stars rotate about their ads with a period of als and, as they do so, send out a pulse of electromagnetic waves once a second. These stars were discovered in the 1960s and are called pulsar HHA HA ? # $2 Ω % m the - 6911 S You have already submitted this answer. Enter a new answer No credit lost.
