ANSWER:
Solution 30PE
Step 1 of 2
We need to calculate the factor by which the out power of the supernova has changed after the explosion. After the explosion the supernova will eventually become a Crab Nebula pulsar which is a young neutron star.
We are given the power outputs of both the cosmological systems and we need to compare the values to compute the factor.
Given data:
Output power of supernova
Output power of crab nebula pulsar
