A uniform, spherical cloud of interstellar gas has mass 1.8×1030 kg and radius 1.2×1013 m, and is rotating with period 1.5×106 years. If the cloud collapses to form a star 7.4×108 m in radius, what will be the star's rotation period?
A star has a mass of 1.5 x 10^30 kg and is moving in a circular orbit about the center of its galaxy. The radius of the orbit is 2.2 x 10 ^ 4 light years( 1 lightyear = 9.5 x 10 ^15 m ) , and the angular speed of the star is 2.2 x 10 ^ -15 rad/s. a) Determine the tangential speed of the star. b) What is the magnitude of the net force that acts on the star to keep moving around the center of the galaxy?
Answer the question in full details, thank you very much, Answer on the correct significant figures:
A star of mass 1.87 x 10^31 kg and diameter 9.44 x 10^9 m rotates with a period of 26.0 days. Suddenly, the
star changes size and rotates with a new period of 19.0 days. The mass of the star is conserved.
Assuming a uniform (but different) density both before and after the size change, by what fraction doesits [diameter change? In other words, what is (new diameter)/(old diameter)?
