Calculate the moment of inertia of a skater given the following information.

Physics
1 answer:
Degger [83]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

(a)  I = 0.363 kgm^2

(b)  I = 1.95 kgm^2

Explanation:

(a) If you consider the shape of the skater as approximately a cylinder, you use the following formula to calculate the moment of inertia of the skater:

I_s=\frac{1}{2}MR^2         (1)

M: mass of the skater = 60.0 kg

R: radius of the cylinder = 0.110m

I_s=\frac{1}{2}(60.0kg)(0.110m)^2=0.363kg.m^2

The moment of inertia of the skater is 0.363 kgm^2

(b) In the case of the skater with his arms extended, you calculate the moment of inertia of a combine object, given by cylinder and a rod (the arms) that cross the cylinder. You use the following formula for the total moment of inertia:

I=I_c+I_r\\\\I=\frac{1}{2}M_1R^2+\frac{1}{12}M_2L^2       (2)

M1: mass of the cylinder = 74.0 kg

M2: mass of the rod = 3.00kg +3.00kg = 6.00kg

L: length of the rod = 0.750m + 0.750m = 1.50m

R: radius of the cylinder = 0.150

I=\frac{1}{2}(74.0kg)(0.150m)^2+\frac{1}{12}(6.00kg)(1.50m)^2\\\\I=1.95kg.m^2

The moment of inertia of the skater with his arms extended is 1.95 kg.m^2

Convert 3.5revolutions to radians.
olga55 [171]

As we know that

1 revolution = 2\pi radian

now we know that

3.5 revolution = 3.5 rev\times \frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev}

3.5 rev = 21.98 rad

so it is 21.98 radian

mafiozo [28]

Answer: 8400 J

Explanation:

The formula referenced in the question is:

Q=m. c. \Delta T  

Where:

Q  is the thermal energy

m=100g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.1 kg is the mass  of the water sample

c=4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C}  is the specific heat capacity of  water

\Delta T=20\°C  is the variation in temperature

Solving:

Q=(0.1 kg)(4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C})(20\°C)  

Q=8400 J  This is the thermal energy released
