A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star that emits a radio beam the way a lighthouse emits a light beam. We receive a radio pulse for each rotation of the star. The period T of rotation is found by measuring the time between pulses. The pulsar in the Crab nebula has a period of rotation of T = 0.033 s that is increasing at the rate of 1.26 x 10 −5 s/y. (a) What is the pulsar's angular acceleration α? (b) If α is constant, how many years from now will the pulsar stop rotating? (c) The pulsar originated in a supernova explosion seen in the year 1054. Assuming constant α, find the initial T.

Definition Definition Rate of change of angular velocity. Angular acceleration indicates how fast the angular velocity changes over time. It is a vector quantity and has both magnitude and direction. Magnitude is represented by the length of the vector and direction is represented by the right-hand thumb rule. An angular acceleration vector will be always perpendicular to the plane of rotation. Angular acceleration is generally denoted by the Greek letter α and its SI unit is rad/s 2 .
A fluid with density 263 kg/m3 flows through a pipe of varying diameter and height. At location 1 the flow speed is 13.5 m/s and the diameter of the pipe is 7.4 cm down to location 2 the pipe diameter is 16.9 cm. Location 1 is 6.3 meters higher than location 2.
