After the star undergoes a supernova explosion, the stellar core, which had a radius of 1.0x104km, collapses into a neutron star of radius 3.0km. Determine the period of rotation of the neutron star. w =What is your guess about the answer?The period will be significantly shorter, because its radius got smaller.fiLL Let’s make some assumptions:1. There is no external torque acting on it2. The shape remains spherical3. Its mass remains constantThe angular speed of the star with the period T isUsing angular momentum conservationThusfffiIIfiIIifiTmrmr222fTf2iifTrr22days30100.10.324days6107.2s23.02p TTuesday, June 27, 2006 PHYS 1443-001, Summer 2006Dr. Jaehoon Yu7Similarity Between Linear and Rotational MotionsAll physical quantities in linear and rotational motions show striking similarity.QuantitiesLinear RotationalMass Mass Moment of InertiaLength of motion Distance Angle (Radian)SpeedAccelerationForce Force TorqueWork Work WorkPowerMomentumKinetic Energy Kinetic Rotational2I mr=rvtD=DtqwD=DvatD=DtwaD=DF ma=rrIt a=rrW F d= �rrP F v= �rrP221mvK 221IKRLMW tq=p mv=r rL Iw=rrTuesday, June 27, 2006 PHYS 1443-001, Summer 2006Dr. Jaehoon Yu8Conditions for EquilibriumWhat do you think the term “An object is at its equilibrium” means?F =�rThe object is either at rest (Static Equilibrium) or its center of mass is moving with a constant velocity (Dynamic Equilibrium). Is this it? When do you think an object is at its equilibrium?Translational Equilibrium: Equilibrium in linear motion The above condition is sufficient for a point-like particle to be at its translational equilibrium. However for object with size this is not sufficient. One more condition is needed. What is it? Let’s consider two forces equal magnitude but in opposite direction acting on a rigid object as shown in the figure. What do you think will happen?CMddF-FThe object will rotate about the CM. The net torque acting on the object about any axis must be 0. For an object to be at its static equilibrium, the object should not have linear or angular speed. t =�r0CMv000Tuesday, June 27, 2006 PHYS 1443-001, Summer 2006Dr. Jaehoon Yu9More on Conditions for
