A neutron star is a dense solid astronomical body made primarily of neutrons. It can be modelled as a solid sphere. It has a mass of 2.80 x 10kg and a radius of 100 km and spins very rapidly about an axis through its center. Periodically, they go through "glitches" in which its radius shrinks, causing its angular velocity to increase. Suppose a neutron star has an initial angular velocity of 2.000 rad/s, and after a glitch event, its angular velocity increases to 2,050 rad/s. What is its radius after the glitch? Is kinetic energy gained or lost? How much? You may assume that no mass is lost during the glitch event and that the neutron star maintains its spherical shape after the glitch.
