A child standing on the edge of a freely spinning merry-go-round moves quickly to the center. Which one of the following stateme

nts is necessarily true concerning this event and why?
a. the angular speed of the system increases because the moment of inertia of the system has decreased.
b. the angular speed of the system increases because the moment of inertia of the system has increased.
c. The angular speed of the system decreases because the moment of inertia of the system has increased.
d. The angular speed of the system remains the same because the net torque on the merry-go-round is zero N x m.
e. The angular speed of the system decreases because the moment of inertia of the system has decreased.

A girl jumps forward off of her skateboard. The skateboard weighs much less than the girl. [Friction in the wheels and between t
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

We can think that the girl is initial over the skateboard, when she jumps forward, most of the force that she applies is downwards, so the force is transmitted from the skateboard to the ground.

Now, as she jumps forward, there is also some force applied in the horizontal direction, this force will affect the skateboard, accelerating it in the opposite direction (backward).

As the skateboard is way less heavy than the girl, the acceleration that the skateboard experiences will be bigger. Now, we can not estimate how much the skateboard moves, because we do not know the initial velocity of the skateboard.

An unfortunate 18 kg monkey falls from a 40 m tall tree. What is the monkeys final velocity just befor he impacts the ground.? a
zalisa [80]
The correct answer is c) 28 m/s.
Let's find the step-by-step solution. The motion of the monkey is an uniformly accelerated motion, with acceleration equal to g=9.81 m/s^2. The initial velocity of the monkey is zero, while the distance covered is S=40 m. Therefore, we can use the following relationship to find vf, the final velocity of the monkey:
2aS=v_f^2-v_i^2=v_f^2
from which
v_f= \sqrt{2aS}= \sqrt{2\cdot 9.81 m/s^2 \cdot 40 m}=28 m/s
