A star with mass M and radius R collides head-on with another star of mass ¾*M and radius 4/5*R, and they coalesce to form a new start at rest whose radius is 6/5*R.

The evolution of a star depends on its size. If a star is sufficiently large, the gravity forces holding it together may be large enough to collapse it into a very dense object composed mostly of neutrons. The density of such a neutron star is about 1014 times that of the Earth. Suppose that a star initially had a radius of 7 x 108 km, and it rotated once every 26 days. What would be the period of rotation if the star collapsed to a radius of 15 km? (1.19 x 10-14 days)
