The outstretched hands and arms of a figure skater preparing for a spin can be considered a slender rod pivoting about an axis t

hrough its center. When his hands and arms are brought in and wrapped around his body to execute the spin, the hands and arms can be considered a thin-walled hollow cylinder. His hands and arms have a combined mass of 9.0 kg. When outstretched, they span 1.7 m; when wrapped, they form a cylinder of radius 26 cm. The moment of inertia about the rotation axis of the remainder of his body is constant and equal to 0.40 kg * m2. If his original angular speed is 0.30 rev/s, what is his final angular speed?

Answer:

W_f =4.7968 rad/s

Explanation:

By the law of the conservation of the angular momentum L:

L_i = L_f

Where:

L_i=I_iW_i

L_f=I_fW_f

where I_i is the inicial moment of inertia, W_i is the initial angular velocity,  I_f is the final moment of inertia and W_f is the final angular velocity.

Replacing:

I_iW_i = I_fW_f

Now, we have to change the angular velocity from revolutions to radians as:

W_i=0.3*2\pi rad/s

W_i=1.884 rad/s

Then, we find the initial moment of inertia (I_i) as:

I_i = \frac{1}{12}(M)(R_1)^2+0.4

I_i = \frac{1}{12}(9 kg)(1.7m)^2+0.4

I_i = 2.5675 kg*m^2

Where M is the mass of his hands and arms and R1 is the length of his arms and hands whe they are outstretched.

Now we find the final moment of inertia (I_f) as:

I_f = MR_2^2+0.4

I_f = (9)(0.26)^2+0.4

I_ f = 1.0084 kg*m^2

Where R2 is the radius of the cylinder formed.

Finally we replace all in the first equation as:

I_iW_i = I_fW_f

(2.5675)(1.884) = (1.0084)W_f

Solving for W_f, we get:

W_f =4.7968 rad/s

A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror at an angle of 30 degree state the angle of reflection?​
kozerog [31]

Answer:

30°

Explanation:

<em>The law of reflection states that when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.</em>

∠i = ∠r

so as ∠i = 30°

∠r will also be 30°

A scientist adds different amounts of salt to 5 bottles of water. She then measures how long it takes for the water to boil. Wha
postnew [5]

Answer:

the responding variable is the water boiling

Explanation:

a responding variable is the same thing as a dependent variable and an independent variable you change the independent variable is the amount of salt, the control group is how long water takes to boil without adding salt, and a constant is the same amount of water

7. A bicycle accelerates at 2.0 m/s2. If the mass of the bicycle and rider together is
kkurt [141]

Answer:

170 N

Explanation:

Since Force F = ma were m = mass = 85 kg and a = acceleration = 2.0 m/s².

So the net force on the bicycle is

F = ma = 85 kg × 2.0 m/s² = 170 N
