A white dwarf is a type of remnant star that will have about the same mass as the star? did, but its radius will be much smaller. A certain white dwarf has a mass of 8x10^30 kg and a radius of about 6100 km. a. Calculate the average density of the white dwarf in units of kilograms per cubic centimeter. b.What is the mass of a teaspoon of a material from a white? dwarf? (A teaspoon is about 4 cubic? centimeters.) Compare this to the mass of something familiar. c. A neutron star is a type of stellar remnant compressed to even greater densities than a white dwarf. Suppose that a neutron star has a mass 1.4 times greater than the mass of the white? dwarf, but has a radius of only 18 kilometers. What is its? density? Compare the mass of 1 cubic centimeter of a neutron star to the total mass of Mount Everest? (about 5x10^10

Suppose a star with the Sun’s mass and radius (the radius of the Sun is 6.96×108 m) is rotating with a period of 25 days. The star first blows off its outer layers and loses mass and angular momentum before the actual collapse, thereby reducing its radius while maintaining the same density. Then, with a mass that is 59 % of the Sun’s mass, it collapses to a white dwarf with a rotation period is 131 s. A) What is...
