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

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 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)?
