An ice skater has a moment of inertia of 5.0 kgm2 when her arms are outstretched. at this time she is spinning at 3.0 revolution

s per second (rps). if she pulls in her arms and decreases her moment of inertia to 2.0 kgm2, how fast will she be spinning?

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.

The earth's radius is 6.37×106m; it rotates once every 24 hours. What is the earth's angular speed? What is the speed of a point
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

a) w = 7.27 * 10^-5 rad/s

b) v1 = 463.1 m/s

c) v1 = 440.433 m/s

Explanation:

Given:-

- The radius of the earth,  R = 6.37 * 10 ^6 m

- The time period for 1 revolution T = 24 hrs

Find:

What is the earth's angular speed?

What is the speed of a point on the equator?

What is the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 1/5 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator?

Solution:

- The angular speed w of the earth can be related with the Time period T of the earth revolution by:

                                  w = 2π / T

                                  w = 2π / 24*3600

                                  w = 7.27 * 10^-5 rad/s

- The speed of the point on the equator v1 can be determined from the linear and rotational motion kinematic relation.

                                 v1 = R*w

                                 v1 = (6.37 * 10 ^6)*(7.27 * 10^-5)

                                 v1 = 463.1 m/s

- The angle θ subtended by a point on earth's surface 1/5 th between the equator and the pole wrt equator is.

                                 π/2  ........... s

                                 x     ............ 1/5 s

                                 x = π/2*5 = 18°    

- The radius of the earth R' at point where θ = 18° from the equator is:

                                R' = R*cos(18)

                                R' = (6.37 * 10 ^6)*cos(18)

                                R' = 6058230.0088 m

- The speed of the point where θ = 18° from the equator v2 can be determined from the linear and rotational motion kinematic relation.

                              v2 = R'*w

                              v2 = (6058230.0088)*(7.27 * 10^-5)

                              v2 = 440.433 m/s

How can we magnetise a piece of iron.
liq [111]
Place the magnet at one end of the piece of metal. The magnet must make as much contact with the metal as possible. Place light pressure on the magnet and rub the metal in one direction only. Magnetization will take some time to accomplish so continue rubbing until the iron or steel attracts other pieces of metal.

Can you explain to be the definition of Quantum Theory?
Vanyuwa [196]
Quantum Theory is commonly related to Quantum Mechanics, or the physics of sub-atomic particles. Quantum Theory defines the theories or educated ideas behind Quantum Mechanics. I believe this is the answer you are looking for.
