Neutron stars consist only of neutrons and have unbelievably high densities. A typical mass and radius for a neutron star might be 8.7 x 1028 kg and 1.8 x 103 m. (a) Find the density of such a star. (b) If a dime (V = 2.0 x 10-7 m3) were made from this material, how much would it weight (in pounds)?

Neutron stars consist only of neutrons and have unbelievably high densities. A typical mass and radius for a neutron star might be 4.1 x 1028 kg and 1.4 x 103 m. (a) Find the density of such a star. (b) If a dime (V = 2.0 x 10-7 m3) were made from this material, how much would it weight (in pounds)?

Neutron stars consist only of neutrons and have unbelievably high densities. A typical mass and radius for a neutron star might be 2.65E+28 kg and 1.12E+3 m. Calculate the density of such a star.
Since neutron stars consist totally of neutrons, they are extremely massive and have a density that is hard to imagine. A typical radius and mass for a neutron star are 1.75 103 m and 2.90 1028 kg respectively. (a) Determine the density of a neutron star. kg/m3 (b) Determine the weight (in pounds) of a penny (V = 360 mm3) if it were made from this material. (Assume 1 lb = 4.448 N.) lb
2) Densities We discussed White Dwarfs and Neutron stars, very dense objects compared to stars like our sun. On the other hand, we also discussed Red Giants which are much less dense than our sun. To realize just how dense, please compute the average densities (in kg/m) for a) the sun (Rsun=7 x 10 km, Msun= 2 x 1030 kg) b) when the sun becomes a red giant (R= 1AU, M=Msun). By what factor is a Red Giant less dense...
If a neutron star and a white dwarf has a total mass of 1M. If the white dwarf has a radius of 9 x 106 m and the neutron star has a radius of 11 km. i) Compare the surface gravity of both stars. ii) What is the density of the neutron star? iii) Assuming the neutron star is entirely made up of neutrons, and that the interparticle separation of a gas of density n is l = n-1/3. How...
