With arms outstretched,
Moment of inertia is I = 5.0 kg-m².
Rotational speed is ω = (3 rev/s)*(2π rad/rev) = 6π rad/s
The torque required is
T = Iω = (5.0 kg-m²)*(6π rad/s) = 30π
Assume that the same torque drives the rotational motion at a moment of inertia of 2.0 kg-m².
If u = new rotational speed (rad/s), then
T = 2u = 30π
u = 15π rad/s
= (15π rad/s)*(1 rev/2π rad)
= 7.5 rev/s
Answer: 7.5 revolutions per second.
To calculate the specific heat capacity of an object or substance, we can use the formula
c = E / m△T
Where
c as the specific heat capacity,
E as the energy applied (assume no heat loss to surroundings),
m as mass and
△T as the energy change.
Now just substitute the numbers given into the equation.
c = 2000 / 2 x 5
c = 2000/ 10
c = 200
Therefore we can conclude that the specific heat capacity of the block is 200 Jkg^-1°C^-1
