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

Fittoniya [83]

Answer: To determine acceleration ,Micah also needs the Time of the total trip in seconds.

Explanation:

Acceleration can be defined as rate of change of velocity.

a = \frac{dv}{dt}

for calculating acceleration, initial and final velocity are required in meter per second and the total time of the trip in seconds. Then acceleration is measured in meter per second square.

Thus, Micah knows that a car had a change in velocity of 15 m/s.To determine acceleration ,Micah also needs the <u>Time</u> of the total trip in seconds.

When passing through a lock, which light means âapproach the lock under full control?â?
vekshin1
The locks referred to here are the elevators that are used to transport boats safely from one water level to another in dams. These two varying water depths allow river traffic to operate  The attached picture shows how boats enter locks in dam sites.

To regulate traffic, there are traffic lights that signal boatmen to adjust their speed when approaching the lock. The red light means to stop and to steer clear away from the lock to allows the boats inside to exit. The green light signals to enter the lock. Lastly, the amber light means approach the lock at a safe speed and under full control.
