Neutron stars are extremely dense objects that are formed from the remnants of supernova explosions. Many rotate very rapidly. S

uppose the mass of a certain spherical neutron star is twice the mass of the Sun and its radius is 13.0 km. Determine the greatest possible angular speed the neutron star can have so that the matter at its surface on the equator is just held in orbit by the gravitational force. (The mass of the Sun is 1.99 1030 kg.)

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_S = 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg

Mass of the neutron star

M_N = 2( M_S )

M_N = 2( 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg )

M_N = ( 3.98 × 10³⁰ kg )

Radius of neutron star R_N = 13.0 km = 13 × 10³ m

Now, let mass of a small object on the neutron star be m

angular speed be ω_N.

During rotational motion, the gravitational force on the object supplies the necessary centripetal force.

GmM_N = / R_N² = mR_Nω_N²

ω_N² = GM_N = / R_N³

ω_N = √(GM_N = / R_N³)

we know that gravitational G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

we substitute

ω_N = √( (  6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ )( 3.98 × 10³⁰ ) ) / (13 × 10³ )³)

ω_N = √( 2.65466 × 10²⁰ / 2.197 × 10¹²

ω_N = √ 120831133.3636777

ω_N = 10992.32 rad/s

Therefore, The required angular speed the neutron star is 10992.32 rad/s

In the first direct detection of gravitational waves by LIGO in 2015, the waves came from the merger of two black holes. Option B is correct. This is further explained below.

<h3>What are gravitational waves?</h3>

A gravitational wave is simply defined as a ripple in space that is unseen though extremely rapid. Gravitational waves move at light speed. As they pass past, these waves compress and stretch everything in their path.

In conclusion, the merger of two black holes is the first direct detection of gravitational waves.
