Suppose a star the size of our Sun, but with mass 8.0 times as great, were rotating at a speed of 1.0 revolution every 9.0 days. If it were to undergo gravitational collapse to a neutron star of radius 12 km, losing\(\frac{3}{4}\)of its mass in the process, what would its rotation speed be? Assume the star is a uniform sphere at all times. Assume also that the thrown off mass carries off either (a) no angular momentum, or (b) its proportional share\(\left( {\frac{3}{4}} \right)\)of the initial angular momentum.
Determine the angular momentum of the Earth (a) about its rotation axis (assume the Earth is a uniform sphere), and (b) in its orbit around the Sun (treat the Earth as a particle orbiting the Sun).
(a) A grinding wheel 0.35 m in diameter rotates at 2200 rpm. Calculate its angular velocity in \({{{\bf{rad}}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{{\bf{rad}}} {\bf{s}}}} \right.} {\bf{s}}}\).(b) What are the linear speed and acceleration of a point on the edge of the grinding wheel?
Can the diver of Fig. 8–28 do a somersault without having any initial rotation when she leaves the board? Explain.
