You stand on a frictional platform that is rotating at 1.8 rev/s. Your arms are outstretched, and you hold a heavy weight in eac

h hand. The moment of inertia of you, the extended weights, and the platform is 9.3 kg * m^2. When you pull the weights in toward your body, the moment of inertia decreases to 5.1 kg * m^2.
(a) Whatis the resulting angular speed of the platform?
(b) What is thechange in kinetic energy of the system?
(c) Where did thisincrease in energy come from?

Answer:

20.62361 rad/s

489.81804 J

Explanation:

I_i = Initial moment of inertia = 9.3 kgm²

I_f = Final moment of inertia = 5.1 kgm²

\omega_i = Initial angular speed = 1.8 rev/s

\omega_f = Final angular speed

As the angular momentum of the system is conserved

I_i\omega_i=I_f\omega_f\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{I_i\omega_i}{I_f}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{9.3\times 1.8}{5.1}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=3.28235\ rev/s=3.28235\times 2\pi=20.62361\ rad/s

The resulting angular speed of the platform is 20.62361 rad/s

Change in kinetic energy is given by

\Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}(I_f\omega_f^2-I_i\omega_i^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}(5.1\times (20.62361)^2-9.3\times (1.8\times 2\pi)^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=489.81804\ J

The change in kinetic energy of the system is 489.81804 J

As the work was done to move the weight in there was an increase in kinetic energy

What is the original source of energy for gasoline?
Yuki888 [10]
Gasoline comes from petroleum, which is a fossil fuel. Petroleum, coal and natural gas (methane) are all made in the earth's crust from the bodies of plants and animals that died long ago. That's why they are called fossil fuels.

The sun provides the energy that all life needs to grow and reproduce. Therefore, fossil fuels can be considered a form of solar energy that has been stored in the bodies of living things, and then concentrated in hydrocarbon deposits in the earth's crust.

The fact is that all the energy on earth comes from the sun, directly or indirectly, except for nuclear energy, which comes from radioactive elements that were made in other stars that existed before the sun.

Hope this helps!!!

What is the function of the brain?
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

It assembles the messages in a way that has meaning for us, and can store that information in our memory. The brain controls our thoughts, memory and speech, movement of the arms and legs, and the function of many organs within our body. The central nervous system (CNS) is composed of the brain and spinal cord.Explanation:

What is the strength of the electric field in a region where the electric potential is constant?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Where the electric potential is constant, the strength of the electric field is zero.

Explanation:

As a test charge moves in a given direction, the rate of change of the electric potential of the charge gives the potential gradient whose negative value is the same as the value of the electric field. In other words, the negative of the slope or gradient of electric potential (V) in a direction, say x, gives the electric field (Eₓ) in that direction. i.e

Eₓ = - dV / dx        ----------(i)

From equation (i) above, if electric potential (V) is constant, then the differential (which is the electric field) gives zero.

<em>Therefore, a constant electric potential means that electric field is zero.</em>
