You are working in an observatory, taking data on electromagnetic radiation from neutron stars. you happen to be analyzing results from a neutron star similar to the one in the formation of a neutron star example, verifying that the period of a 13.0 km radius neutron star is indeed 3.3 s. you go through weeks of data showing the same period. suddenly, as you analyze the most recent data, you notice that the period has decreased to 2.6 s and remained at that level since that time. you ask your supervisor about this, who becomes excited and says that the neutron star must have undergone a glitch, which is a sudden shrinking of the radius of the star, resulting in a higher angular speed. as she runs to her computer to start writing a paper on the glitch, she calls back to you to calculate the new radius of the star (in km), assuming it has remained spherical. she is also talking about vortices and a superfluid core, but you don't understand those words.

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length (in m) of a column of water 1.45 km high for a temperature increase of 1.12°c. assume the column is not free to expand sideways. as a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to

The brightest star in the night sky in the northern hemisphere is sirius. its distance from earth is estimated to be 8.7 light years. a light year is the distance light travels in one year. light travels at a speed of 3.00 × 108 m/s. calculate the distance from earth to sirius in miles.
