5. Antares is a star in Scorpius constellation. Its radius is 4. 1AU and its mass is about 14 times the mass of the sun. Antares orbital speed is 22.8 km/sec. Eventually after a couple million years Antares will be converted to a neutron star. Its radius will be 4.8*10-5 AU. Find its orbital speed after it becomes neutron star? Find your answer by rpm. Moment of inertia of sphere is l= 2/5 MR2. (Use Conservation of angular Momentum).
