Passengers in an aircraft are subject to the Normal and Gravity Force acting on them at a low 'orbit', so tiny that it can be many times compared to the same surface of the earth when speaking in general terms.

In a high orbit space vehicle or in the same space, said force decreases considerably or simply disappears, generating the sensation of weightlessness.

Remember that the Force of Gravity is given under the principle

F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal constant

M = Mass of the planet

m = mass of the object

r = Distance from center of the planet

When the radius grows considerably the gravitational force begins to decrease.

Using the law of conservation of angular momentum, estimate how fast a collapsed stellar core would spin if its initial spin rat
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

\omega_{f} = 1000000\,\frac{rev}{day}

Explanation:

The law of conservation of angular momentum states that angular momentum remains constant when there is no external moment or forces applied to the system. Let assume that star can be modelled as an sphere, then:

\frac{2}{5}\cdot M\cdot R_{o}^{2} \cdot \omega_{o} = \frac{2}{5}\cdot M\cdot R_{f}^{2} \cdot \omega_{f}

The final angular speed is:

\omega_{f} = \omega_{o}\cdot (\frac{R_{o}}{R_{f}})^{2}

\omega_{f} = (1\,\frac{rev}{day} )\cdot (\frac{10000\,km}{10\,km} )^{2}

\omega_{f} = 1000000\,\frac{rev}{day}
