Answer:
The required angular speed the neutron star is 10992.32 rad/s
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
mass of the sun M = 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg
Mass of the neutron star
M = 2( M
)
M = 2( 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg )
M = ( 3.98 × 10³⁰ kg )
Radius of neutron star R = 13.0 km = 13 × 10³ m
Now, let mass of a small object on the neutron star be m
angular speed be ω.
During rotational motion, the gravitational force on the object supplies the necessary centripetal force.
GmM = / R
² = mR
ω
²
ω² = GM
= / R
³
ω = √(GM
= / R
³)
we know that gravitational G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²
we substitute
ω = √( ( 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ )( 3.98 × 10³⁰ ) ) / (13 × 10³ )³)
ω = √( 2.65466 × 10²⁰ / 2.197 × 10¹²
ω = √ 120831133.3636777
ω = 10992.32 rad/s
Therefore, The required angular speed the neutron star is 10992.32 rad/s
