Certain neutron stars are believed to be rotating at about 1 rev/s. If such a star has a radius of 20 km, the acceleration of an object on the equator of the star will be(A) 20 x 108 m/s2 (B) 8 x 105 m/s2 (C) 120 x 105 m/s2 (D) 4 x 108 m/s2

Answer»

Answer is (B) 8 x 105 m/s2

Using, a = ω2 r = 4π2 n2 r = 4(3.14)2 x 12 x 20 x 103 

∴ a = 8 x 105 m/s2
