Two skaters skate toward each other, each moving at 3.3 m/s. Their lines of motion are separated by a perpendicular distance of

1.5 m. Just as they pass each other (still 1.5 m apart), they link hands and spin about their common center of mass. What is the rotational speed of the couple about the center of mass? Treat each skater as a point particle, each with an inertia of 51 kg.

Answer:

4.4 rad/s

Explanation:

When the 2 skaters is spinning with a distance of 1.5m, their rotation radius is half of that distance, which is 1.5/2 = 0.75m.

Then their moments of inertia, given that their mass being 51 kg, is (treating them as point mass particle):

I = Mr^2 = 2Mr^2 = 51*0.75^2 = 38.25 kg.m^2

When they change from linear motion to rotational motion, their energy must be conserved:

E_L = E_r

2*(0.5Mv^2) = 2*(0.5I\omega^2)

\omega^2 = \frac{Mv^2}{I}

\omega = v\sqrt{\frac{M}{I}}

\omega = 3.3\sqrt{\frac{51}{38.25}} = 4.4 rad/s

A car starts from rest and accelerated at a rate of 9m/s squared for 6.5 seconds. How much distance was covered by the car?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

58.5 meters

Explanation:

1. Find your formula. Use distance = speed x time for this problem

2. Plug in the given information. d (for distance) = 9m/s^2 * 6.5 s

3. Multiply number AND units. d = 58.5m

4. Check to make sure units & numbers make sense. In this case check that the answer is a lot bigger than what we stated with and that our units go with distance

Question 8: Cosmology (8 points)
STatiana [176]

Big bang happened about 13.7 billion years ago in our universe.

<h3>Describe the beginning of the universe according to the big bang theory?</h3>

According to the big bang theory, about 13.7 billion years ago, an explosive expansion began, expanding our universe outwards faster than the speed of light.

<h3>Describe the future of the universe according to the flat model?</h3>

According to the flat model, the universe is infinite and will continue to expand forever because the universe is expanding.

<h3>What is cosmic background radiation? </h3>

Cosmic background radiation is a weak radio-frequency radiation that is traveling through outer space in every direction. It is the residual radiation of the big bang, when the universe was very hot.

<h3>How do observations of the cosmic background radiation provide evidence to support the big bang theory? </h3>

The Big Bang theory predicts that the early universe was a very hot place and that as it expands, the gas within it cools. Thus the universe has all over radiation which is called the “cosmic microwave background".
