Answer:

c. remains the same, but the RPMs decrease.

Explanation:

Because there aren't external torques on the system composed by the person and the turntable it follows that total angular momentum (I) is conserved, that means the total angular momentum is a constant:

\overrightarrow{L}=constant

The total angular momentum is the sum of the individual angular momenta, in our case we should sum the angular momentum of the turntable and the angular momentum of a point mass respect the center of the turntable (the person)

\overrightarrow{L_{turnatble}}+\overrightarrow{L_{person}}=constant (1)

The angular momentum of the turntable is:

\overrightarrow{L_{turnatble}}=I\overrightarrow{\omega} (2)

with I the moment of inertia and ω the angular velocity.

The angular momentum of the person respects the center of the turntable is:

\overrightarrow{L_{person}}=\overrightarrow{r}\times m\overrightarrow{v} (3)

with r the position of the person respects the center of the turntable, m the mass of the person and v the linear velocity

Using the fact v=\omega r:

\overrightarrow{L_{person}}=\overrightarrow{r}\times rm\overrightarrow{\omega}(3)

By (3) and (2) on (1) and working only the magnitudes (it's all that we need for this problem):

I\omega+r^{2}m\omega=constant

\omega(I+r^{2}m)=constant

Because the equality should be maintained, if we increase the distance between the person and the center of the turntable (r), the angular velocity should decrease to maintain the same constant value because I and m are constants, so the RPM's (unit of angular velocity) are going to decrease.

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 4kg cat running 5m/s
natulia [17]

Kinetic energy  =  (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                         = (1/2) x (4 kg) x (5 m/s)²

                         =      (2 kg) x (25 m²/s²)

                         =    50 kg-m²/s²  =  <em>50 joules

A turntable that spins at a constant 80.0 rpmrpm takes 3.50 ss to reach this angular speed after it is turned on. Find its angul
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The angular acceleration is <u>2.39 rad/s²</u>.

The number of degrees it rotates is <u>841.68 degrees</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial angular speed (ω₀) = 0 rad/s

Final angular speed in rpm (N) = 80.0 rpm

Time taken (t) = 3.50 s

First, let us determine the final angular speed in radians per second.

We know that,

\omega=\frac{2\pi N}{60}\ rad/s

Plug in the values and find the final angular speed, 'ω'. This gives,

\omega=\frac{2\pi\times 80.0}{60}=8.38\ rad/s

Now, using equation of motion for rotational motion, we have:

\omega=\omega_0+\alpha t\\\\\alpha\to angular\ acceleration

Plug in the given values and solve for α. This gives,

8.38=0+\alpha \times 3.50\\\\\alpha=\frac{8.38}{3.50}=2.39\ rad/s^2

Therefore, the angular acceleration is 2.39 rad/s².

Now, again using rotational equation of motion relating angular displacement, we have:

\omega^2=\omega_0^2+2\alpha\theta\\\\\theta=\frac{\omega^2-\omega_0^2}{2\alpha }

Plug in the given values and solve for 'θ'. This gives,

\theta=\frac{(8.38)^2-0}{2\times 2.39}\\\\\theta=\frac{70.2244}{4.78}=14.69\ rad

Convert radians to degrees using the conversion factor. This gives,

π radians = 180°

So, 1 radian =( 180 ÷ π ) degrees

Therefore, 14.69\ rad=14.69\times (\frac{180}{\pi})=841.68^\circ

So, the number of degrees it rotates is 841.68 degrees.

A horizontal force of 90.0 N is required to push a 75kg object along a horizontal surface at a constant speed. What is the magni
Varvara68 [4.7K]
If the object is moving at a constant speed, acceleration is 0. So:

F = ma&#10;&#10;F = m\times 0&#10;&#10;F = 0

The resultant force is 0. So the force pushing the object must be equal to the friction force acting, so 

Friction = 90 N

Answer:

Explanation:

Essential Knowledge

It is essential that the student be able to distinguish between specialized structures that allow protists and fungi to obtain energy and explore their environment.

Protists

Protists are organisms that are classified into the Kingdom Protista. Although there is a lot of variety within the protists, they do share some common characteristics.

● Protists are usually single celled organisms.

● Live in moist environments.

● Vary in the ways they move and obtain energy.

Protists obtain their energy in several ways.

● Animal-like protists ingest or absorb food after capturing or trapping it.

● Plant-like protists produce food through photosynthesis.

● Fungus-like protists obtain their food by external digestion either as decomposers or as parasites.

● Some protists have both autotrophic and heterotrophic characteristi
