A skater has rotational inertia 4.2 kg.m2 with his fists held to his chest and 5.7 kg.m2 with his arms outstretched. The skater

is spinning at 3.0 rev/s while holding a 2.5-kg weight in each outstretched hand; the weights are 76 cm from his rotation axis. If he pulls his hands in to his chest, so they’re essentially on his ro- tation axis, how fast will he be spinning?

Answer:

6.13428 rev/s

Explanation:

I_f = Final moment of inertia = 4.2 kgm²

I = Moment of inertia with fists close to chest = 5.7 kgm²

\omega_i = Initial angular speed = 3 rev/s

\omega_f = Final angular speed

r = Radius = 76 cm

m = Mass = 2.5 kg

Moment of inertia of the skater is given by

I_i=I+2mr^2

In this system the angular momentum is conserved

L_f=L_i\\\Rightarrow I_f\omega_f=I_i\omega_i\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{I_i\omega_i}{I_f}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{(5.7+2\times 2.5\times 0.76^2)3}{4.2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=6.13428\ rev/s

The rotational speed will be 6.13428 rev/s

An object, initially at rest moves 250m in 17s. What is it's acceleration?
Gekata [30.6K]
With the values you've given, only velocity can be found.
Acceleration is rate of change of velocity

d= 250s
t= 17s

a= d/t
 =\frac{250}{17}
 = 4.7 \frac{m}{s}

If a certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.33 x 10^14Hz what is the energy of exactly one photon of this light. Is this as
geniusboy [140]
In calculating the energy of a photon of light, we need the relationship for energy and the frequency which is expressed as:
 
E=hv

where h is the Planck's constant (6.626 x 10-34 J s)and v is the frequency.
E = 6.626 x 10-34 J s (<span>7.33 x 10^14 /s) = 4.857 x 10^-19 J</span>

A block of size 20m x 10 mx 5 m exerts a force of 30N. Calculate the
Orlov [11]

Answer:

We know that force applied per unit area is called pressure.

Pressure = Force/ Area

When force is constant than pressure is inversely proportional to area.

1- Calculating the area of three face:

A1 = 20m x 10 m =200 Square meter

A2 = 10 mx 5 m = 50 Square meter

A3 = 20m x 5 m = 100 Square meter

Therefore A1 is maximum and A2 is minimum.

2- Calculate pressure:

P = F/ A1 = 30 / 200 = 0.15 Nm⁻²  ( minimum pressure)

P = F / A2 = 30 / 50 = 0.6 Nm⁻²   ( maximum pressure)

Hence greater the area less will be the pressure and vice versa.
