Two ice skaters hold hands and rotate, making one revolution in 2.87 s. Their masses are 59.0 kg and 73.0 kg, and they are separ

ated by 1.10 m. Find the angular momentum of the system about their center of mass. If the skaters pull towards each other and decrease their separation to 0.60 m, what is the new period of rotation about the center of mass?

Answer:

86.43

25.72

Explanation:

Location of center of mass from 59 Kg

r_1=\frac {xm_2}{m1+m2}=\frac {1.1*73}{59+73}= 0.608333m

Location of center of mass from 73 Kg

r_2=\frac {xm_1}{m1+m2}=\ frac {1.1*59}{59+73}= 0.491667m

Momentum of inertia

I=m1r_1^{2}+m2r_2^{2}=59*0.608333^{2}+73*0.491667^{2}=21.8341  +17.64674=39.48083  Kgm^{2}

Angular moment

L=I\omega=I(\frac {2\pi}{T})=39.48083(\frac {2*\pi}{2.87 s})=86.43393Js

(b)

When separation is 0.6 m

Location of centre of mass from 59 Kg

r_1=\frac {xm_2}{m1+m2}=\frac {0.6*73}{59+73}= 0.331818 m

Location of centre of mass from 73 Kg

r_2=\frac {xm_1}{m1+m2}=\ frac {0.6*59}{59+73}= 0.268182 m

Momentum of intertia

I=m1r_1^{2}+m2r_2^{2}=59*0.331818^{2}+73*0.268182^{2}=6.496095 + 5.250269=11.74636 Kgm^{2}

Angular moment

L=I\omega=I(\frac {2\pi}{T})=11.74636(\frac {2*\pi}{2.87 s})=25.71588 Js

What kind of light would be the best to use to look inside a cold dark cloud and see the warm stars forming inside?
lys-0071 [83]
<h2>Answer: Infrared light</h2>

A dark nebula is a cloud of dust and cold gas, which does not emit visible light and hides the stars it contains.

These types of nebulae are composed mainly of the hydrogen they obtain from nearby stars, which is their fuel.

It is using infrared light that we can "observe" and analyze in detail what happens in the inner parts of these nebulae.

What force is produced when a battery causes an electric current to flow trough a circuit made of copper wire
zzz [600]
You'll hear that force called different things in different places. It
may be called "electromotive force", "EMF", "potential difference",
or "voltage".

It's just a matter of somehow causing the two ends of the wire
to have different electrical potential. When that happens, the
free electrons in the copper suddenly have a burning desire to
travel ... away from the end that's more negative, toward the end
that's more positive, and THAT's an "electric current".
