An ice skater is spinning at 6.00 rev/s with his moment of inertia being 0.400 kg/m2. Calculate his new moment of inertia if he

reduces his rate of spin to 1.25 rev/s by extending his arms and increasing his moment of inertia.

Answer:

New moment of inertia will be $I=1.92kgm^2$

Explanation:

It is given initially angular velocity $\omega =6rev/sec=6\times 2\pi =37.68rad/sec$

Moment of inertia $I=0.4kgm^2$

Angular momentum is equal to $L=I\omega =37.68\times 0.4=15.072kgm^2/sec$

Now angular velocity is decreases to $\omega =1.25rev/sec=1.25\times 2\times 3.14=7.85rad/sec$

As we know that angular momentum is conserved

So $15.072=I\times 7.85$

$I=1.92kgm^2$

So new moment of inertia will be $I=1.92kgm^2$

When someone leaves an outside door open on a cold, still day, it is often said that the person is letting in cold air. If so, h

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Diffusion

Explanation:

This process can be referred to as diffusion. The cold air moves from a region of high concentration (outside) to a region of low concentration (inside). The movement of these cold air is what is referred to as "letting in cold air".

NOTE: Diffusion is the process in which substances move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. Just like when an insecticide is sprayed inside a closed room and then the room is later opened so as to allow the the sprayed insecticide leave the room.

A sphere of radius R has charge Q.The electric field strength at distance r > R is E intial. What is the ratio E of the final

Elis [28]

Answer:

Efinal / Einitial = 1

Explanation:

Applying Gauss´s Law to a closed spherical surface encircling the sphere of radius R, it can be showed that the electric field, at a distance r> R, behaves like all the charge of the sphere (which is distributed over the surface) were concentrated in the center, so the sphere produces the same electric field as the one created by a point charge located at that point.

The expression for the field E initial is as follows:

$E initial = \frac{K*Q}{r^{2}}$

So, at a distance r> R, as the center of the sphere is located at the same point, the electric field will be the same as before.

The expression for E final is as follows:

$E final = \frac{K*Q}{r^{2}}$

So the ratio $\frac{Ef}{Ei}$ is equal to one.

A cubical box measuring 1.29 m on each side contains a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 2.0 atm How much thermal energy do t

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a) $U = 652.545\,kJ$ , b) $v \approx 659.568\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

a) According to the First Law of Thermodinamics, the system is not reporting any work, mass or heat interactions. Besides, let consider that such box is rigid and, therefore, heat contained inside is the consequence of internal energy.

$Q = U$

The internal energy for a monoatomic ideal gas is:

$U = \frac{3}{2} \cdot n \cdot R_{u} \cdot T$

Let assume that cubical box contains just one kilomole of monoatomic gas. Then, the temperature is determined from the Equation of State for Ideal Gases:

$T = \frac{P\cdot V}{n\cdot R_{u}}$

$T = \frac{(202.65\,kPa)\cdot(1.29\,m)^{3}}{(1\,kmole)\cdot(8.314\,\frac{kPa\cdot m^{3}}{kmole\cdot K} )}$

$T = 52.325\,K$

The thermal energy contained by the gas is:

$U = \frac{3}{2}\cdot (1\,kmole)\cdot (8.314\,\frac{kPa\cdot m^{3}}{kmole\cdot K})\cdot (52.325\,K)$

$U = 652.545\,kJ$

b) The physical model for the cat is constructed from Work-Energy Theorem:

$U = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{cat} \cdot v^{2}$

The speed of the cat is obtained by isolating the respective variable and the replacement of every known variable by numerical values:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot U}{m_{cat}}}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot (652.545 \times 10^{3}\,J)}{3\,kg} }$

$v \approx 659.568\,\frac{m}{s}$
