Question

Recall that density is mass
divided by volume A neutron star is the remnant of certain supernovae (explosions of giant
stars). Typically, neutron stars are about 20 km in diameter and have about
the same mass as our sun. What is a typical neutron star density in g>cm3?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given:

Diameter d = 20 km or 2 × 10⁶ cm

Radius = $\frac{d i a m e t e r}{2}$

= 10⁶ cm

Mass m = 1.989 × 10³³ gram.

To determine:

Density

Formula used:

$ρ = \frac{m}{V}$
