Astar with the same mass and diameter as our sun rotates about a central axis with a period of 28.8 days. suppose that this star runs out of nuclear fuel and collapses to form a white dwarf star with a diameter equal to that of the earth. assume the star acts like a solid sphere, that there is no loss of mass in the process, and that the star has no external torques acting on it. as gravity causes the star to contract, gravitational potential energy is converted to rotational kinetic energy, so kinetic energy is not conserved. the radius of the sun is 6.96×108 m, and the radius of the earth is 6.37×106 m. (a) what would be the rotation period of the new white dwarf

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.
