A professor sits on a rotating stool that is spinning at 10.0 rpm while she holds a heavy weight in each of her hands. Her outst

retched hands are 0.785 m from the axis of rotation, which passes through her head into the center of the stool. When she symmetrically pulls the weights in closer to her body, her angular speed increases to 32.5 rpm. Neglecting the mass of the professor, how far are the weights from the rotational axis after she pulls her arms in

Answer:

r = 0.491 m

Explanation:

In this case the System is formed by the teacher with the two masses, so the forces during movement are internal and the angular momentum is conserved

Initial.

         L₀ = I₀ w₀

Final

         Lf = I w

        L₀ = Lf

       I₀ w₀ = I w

The moment of inertia is

      I₀ = m r₀²

      I = m r²

       

Let's replace

       m r₀² w₀ = m r² w

       r²  = r₀² w₀ / w

Angular velocity

       w₀ = 10 rpm (2pi rad / 1 rev) (1 min / 60 s) = 1.047 rad / s

       w = 32.5 rpm = 3.403 rad / s

Let's calculate

      r = √(0.785 1.047 / 3.403)

      r = 0.491 m

A 7450 kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.25 m/s2 and feels no appreci
sashaice [31]

Answer:

a) 112.5 m

b) 15.81s

Explanation:

a)We can use the following equation of motion to calculate the velocity v of the rocket at s = 500 m at a constant acceleration of a = 2.25 m/s2

v^2 = 2as

v^2 = 2*2.25*500 = 2250

v = \sqrt{2250} = 47.4 m/s

After the engine failure, the rocket is subjected to a constant deceleration of g = -10 m/s2 until it reaches its maximum height where speed is 0. Again if we use the same equation of motion we can calculate the vertical distance h traveled by the rocket after engine failure

0^2 - v^2 = 2gh

-2250 = 2(-10)h

h = 2250/20 = 112.5 m

So the maximum height that the rocket could reach is 112.5 + 500 = 612.5 m

b) Using ground as base 0 reference, we have the following equation of motion in term of time when the rocket loses its engine:

s + vt + gt^2/2 = 0

500 + 47.4t - 10t^2/2 = 0

5t^2 - 47.4t - 500 = 0

t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

t= \frac{47.4\pm \sqrt{(-47.4)^2 - 4*(5)*(-500)}}{2*(5)}

t= \frac{47.4\pm110.67}{10}

t = 15.81 or t = -6.33

Since t can only be positive we will pick t = 15.81s

pogonyaev

Answer:

His conclusion best illustrates a pessimistic outlook.

Explanation:

As seen in the question above, Ken got 20% of his final grade in the first test he did for this class, that is, there will be other tests that can provide him to reach the grade needed to pass the class. However, even if there are possibilities, he believes that he will not pass the class, he does not have a positive and optimistic view of his future in this class and is sure that he will fail. This negative view of the future is an example of a pessimistic outlook.

HELP?!
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer is the highest temperature, so D

Higher temperatures allow for sound to move faster, since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. The speed of sound in room temperature air is 346 meters per second. This is faster than 331 meters per second, which is the speed of sound in air at freezing temperatures.

Neat little fact: This is also why in the winter when there is snow on the ground, it seems more peaceful and quite. The snow absorbs the sound waves and the temperature makes them not travel as fast, getting more quite as they go.
