Answer:
v = 0.33 [m/s]
Explanation:
We must remember that speed is defined as the relationship between the displacement in a given time. In this way, we can propose the following equation.
where:
v = velocity [m/s]
d = displacement = 40 [m]
t = 2 [min] = 120 [s]
Now replacing we have:
Answer:
B.)Angular momentum is always conserved
Explanation:
Angular momentum is given by:
where
m is the mass of the object
v is its speed
r is the distance between the object and the centre of its circular trajectory
In absence of external torques, angular momentum is always conserved. That means that for the spinning star, if its radius r decreases (because it shrinks), in order for L (the angular momentum) to be conserved, the speed (v) must increases, therefore the spinning star speeds up.
So, the correct choice is
B.)Angular momentum is always conserved
