On January 28, 1998 an x-ray satellite spotted a neutron star that spins at a rate of 62 times per second. Through how many degrees does the neutron star rotate in a second? In a minute? I'm an hour? In a day?

The question is giving you the rotation in revolutions so we can convert from revolutions into degrees.

[tex] \frac{62revs}{sec} * \frac{360deg}{1rev} = 22320deg/sec [/tex]

To convert to deg/min

[tex] \frac{22320deg}{sec} * \frac{60sec}{1min} = \frac{1339200deg}{min} [/tex]

In an hour

22320deg/sec * 60 = 80352000deg/hour

In a day

80352000 * 24 = 1928448000deg/day
