The rate at which a nebular cloud rotates increases as the cloud collapses to form systems of stars and planets. Consider a small segment of a nebular cloud with a mass m of 1.9 x 1027 kg, tangential velocity vinitial equal to 6.8 km s¯1 located at an orbital distance rinitial = 2.5 x 104 km. After the cloud collapses, the same small segment is located at an orbital distance rinal = 3.2 x 10° km. Calculate the change of the rotational velocity, Ao, for the cloud segment, assuming perfectly circular orbits. Perform your work and report your solution using two significant figures. Δω- rad s-
Suppose you observe a binary system containing a main-sequence star and a brown dwarf. The orbital period of the system is 1 year, and the average separation of the system is 1 AU . You then measure the Doppler shifts of the spectral lines from the main-sequence star and the brown dwarf, finding that the orbital speed of the brown dwarf in the system is 23 times greater than that of the main-sequence star. How massive is the brown dwarf in kg?

Suppose we represent an ordinary star as a uniform solid rigid sphere. The star’s initial radius is 644000 km (comparableto the size of our sun). After it collapses, forming a neutron star, its final radius is only 18.3 km! If the original starmakes one complete rotation about its axis once per month (every 30 days), find the neutron star’s period of rotationjust after the original star has collapsed.Tafter = (in s)
A spectroscopic binary that has a period of 3.89 days has a near perfect circular orbit. The amplitudes of the velocity curves are 107 km·s−1 and 120 km·s−1. Making appropriate assumptions, estimate the individual masses.

At least a good four or five billion years from now the Sun will become a "dead" white st! to dwarf staC, shrinking to about 1% of its 1*% current radius. Assume it loses no mass in this process, If the sun currently rotates once every thirty days, then how many radians per second will it be rotating at after it changes into a white dwarf?
The star HD 69830's mass is 1.7 ✕ 1030 kg, its radius is 6.3 ✕ 105 km, and it has a rotational period of approximately 35 days. If HD 69830 should collapse into a white dwarf of radius 7.8 ✕ 103 km, what would its period (in s) be if no mass were ejected and a sphere of uniform density can model HD 69830 both before and after?

Double stars are stars which are close enough and move slowly enough that they orbit each other. Each star is located at the focus of the ellipse of its orbit around the other star. Consider a binary star system which has an average angular separation of 6.1" arc and a period of 87.3 years. The annual parallax of the stars, p, is 0.192"arc. We call the measure of the angular separation of the two stars, . [remember that 1 degree is divided into 60 'arc (read this as 60 minutes of arc) and each 1'arc is subdivided into 60"arc (read this as 60 seconds of arc)]. The distance to the binarystar system is calculated from its parallax , p, of 0.192"arc, which has been measured carefully over a period of the last 92 years. First we must calculate the distance to the binary system: D = 1/p where p is the parallax in seconds of arc giving D in parsecs. The distance, D = 1/p = ________ pc How many light years does this correspond to? (remember that 1 pc = 3.26 lt yr) D (in light…
