As an ice skater begins a spin, his angular speed is 3.14 rad/s. After pulling in his arms, his angular speed increases to 5.94

rad/s. Find the ratio of teh skater's final momentum of inertia to his initial momentum of inertia.

Answer:

I₂/I₁ = 0.53

Explanation:

During the motion the angular momentum of the skater remains conserved. Therefore:

Angular Momentum of Skater Before Pulling Arms = Angular Momentum of Skater After Pulling Arms

L₁ = L₂

but, the formula for angular momentum is:

L = Iω

Therefore,

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

I₂/I₁ = ω₁/ω₂

where,

I₁ = Initial Moment of Inertia

I₂ = Final Moment of Inertia

ω₁ = Initial Angular Velocity = 3.14 rad/s

ω₂ = Final Angular velocity = 5.94 rad/s

Therefore,

I₂/I₁ = (3.14 rad/s)/(5.94 rad/s)

<u>I₂/I₁ = 0.53</u>

How can the distance between the first bright band and the central band be increased in a double-slit experiment?
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Decrease the slit separation, increase the distance of the screen from the slits, and increase the wavelength.

Explanation:

The distance y from the central band to the first bright band is given by

y = \dfrac{ \lambda D}{d}

where \lambda is the wavelength of light (or any particle), D is the distance to the screen, and d is the slit separation.

From this equation we see that, by increasing the wavelength \lambda , increasing the distance from the screen D, and decreasing the slit separation d, we increase the distance between the first bright band and the central band.

Therefore, the 2nd choice "<em>Decrease the slit separation, increase the distance of the screen from the slits, and increase the wavelength.</em>" is correct.

A chemist has two compounds that do not chemically react. He thinks that by finding the right catalyst, he can get them to react
8090 [49]

Answer:

The chemist is incorrect because a catalyst increases the rate of reaction only.

Explanation:

A catalyst is a substance in the presence of which the speed of the reaction increases. It plays no role in the chemical change taking place.

Thus, if the two compounds are not chemically reacting, a catalyst wont make it happen either.

A chemical reaction occurs when atoms tend to lose or gain electrons. A catalyst has no role to play in this process.
