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

The car in the figure travels at a constant speed along the road shown. Draw vector showing its acceleration at the point C if t
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The vector form is as shown in the attachment

Explanation:

The figure as shown in the diagram, indicates that the car is moving along the road at a constant speed. Centripetal acceleration comes into play for an object moving in a circular motion at uniform speed. The centripetal acceleration is the acceleration experienced by an object while in uniform circular motion.

Mathematically from centripetal acceleration; a = v2/r

The equation shows that there is an inverse relationship between the acceleration and the radius of curvature as such the radius of curvature at the point A will be more than the radius of curvature at the point C, this shows that the centripetal acceleration at point C will be more than the centripetal acceleration at point A.

The attachment shows the figure and the representation in vectorial form.

What are longitudinal waves?
My name is Ann [436]
Waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same directions as, or the opposite direction to, the traveling wave's direction.

A wave in which the particle movement is parallel to the wave's direction.

I gave to definition, I hope you understand it. Have a nice day :)
