Answer:

1.78 rad/s

1.70344 rad/s

Explanation:

v = Velocity = 0.8 m/s

m = Mass of person = 60 kg

$r_1$ = Distance between center of mass of person and pole = 0.45 m

$r_2$ = New distance between center of mass of person and pole = 0.46 m

I = Moment of inertia

Angular speed is given by

$\omega_1=\dfrac{v}{r_1}\\\Rightarrow \omega_1=\dfrac{0.8}{0.45}\\\Rightarrow \omega_1=1.78\ rad/s$

The angular speed is 1.78 rad/s

In this system the angular momentum is conserved

$L_1=L_2\\\Rightarrow I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2\\\Rightarrow mr_1^2\omega_1=mr_2^2\omega_2\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=\dfrac{r_1^2\omega_1}{r_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=\dfrac{0.45^2\times 1.78}{0.46^2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=1.70344\ rad/s$

The new angular speed is 1.70344 rad/s

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

2.48 m/s

Explanation:

We can use the kinematic equation,

s = ut +½at²

Where

s = displacement

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

a = acceleration

Using the equation in vertical direction,

321 = 0×t +½×g×t², u = 0 because initial vertical velocity is 0

We get t = 8.01 s

Using the equation in the horizontal direction,

52 = u×8.01 +½×0×(8.01)²,. a = 0 because no unbalanced force act on object in that direction

So u = 2.48 m/s
