When some stars use up their fuel, they undergo a catastrophic explosion called a supernova. this explosion blows much or all of a star's mass outward, in the form of a rapidly expanding spherical shell. as a simple model of the supernova process, assume that the star is a solid sphere of radius r that is initially rotating at 2.4 revolutions per day. after the star explodes, find the angular velocity, in revolutions per day, of the expanding supernova shell when its radius is 4.3r. assume that all of the star's original mass is contained in the shell.

0.0768 revolutions per day

Explanation:

R = Radius

\omega = Angular velocity

As the mass is conserved the angular momentum is conserved

I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2\\\Rightarrow \frac{I_1}{I_2}=\frac{\omega_2}{\omega_1}

Moment of intertia for solid sphere

I_1=\frac{2}{5}MR^2\\\Rightarrow I_1=0.4MR^2

Moment of intertia for hollow sphere

I_2=\frac{2}{3}M(4.3R)^2\\\Rightarrow I_2=12.327MR^2

Dividing the moment of inertia

\frac{I_1}{I_1}=\frac{0.4MR^2}{12.327MR^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{I_1}{I_2}=0.032

From the first equation

\omega_2=\omega_1\frac{I_1}{I_2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=2.4\times 0.032\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=0.0768\ rev\day

The angular velocity, in revolutions per day, of the expanding supernova shell is 0.0768 revolutions per day

4.2 liters there are 1,000 mL in a liter and there is a total of 4200 mL in this case which is divided by 1000 which gives you 4.2 liters.
