Neutron Star Physics
Under some circumstances, an ordinary star can undergo
gravitational collapse into an extremely dense object made mostly
of neutrons. This type of star is called a "neutron star". A
neutron star has a mass density roughly 1014 times
larger than that of ordinary solid matter.
Suppose we represent an ordinary star as a uniform solid rigid
sphere, both before and after the collapse. The original star's
initial radius is 7.0 x 105 km (comparable to the size...

what would its rotation speed be? Assume also that the thrown- off
