Ice skaters often end their performances with spin turns, where they spin very fast about their center of mass with their arms f

olded in and legs together. Upon ending, their arms extend outward, proclaiming their finish. Not quite as noticeably, one leg goes out as well.
Suppose that the moment of inertia of a skater with arms out and one leg extended is 3.5 kg*m^2 and for arms and legs in is 0.70 kg*m^2. If she starts out spinning at 6.0 rev/s, what is her angular speed (in rev/s) when her arms and one leg open outward?

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{30 rev/s}}

Explanation:

This question is based on the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum.

Angular momentum (L) equals the moment of inertia (I) times the angular speed (ω).

L = Iω

If momentum is conserved,

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Data:

 I₁ = 3.5    kg·m²s⁻¹

ω₁ = 6.0    rev·s⁻¹

 I₂ = 0.70 kg·m²s⁻¹

Calculation:

\begin{array}{rcl}I_{1}\omega_{1} &= &I_{2}\omega_{2}\\\text{3.5 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times \text{6.0 rev/s} &= &\text{0.70 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times\omega_{2}\\\text{21 rev/s} &= &0.70\omega_{2}\\\omega_{2} & = & \dfrac{\text{21 rev/s}}{0.70}\\\\&=&\textbf{30 rev/s}\\\end{array}\\\text{The skater's final rotational speed is $\large \boxed{\textbf{30 rev/s}}$}

A4 kg bowling ball begins rolling down a at bowling alloy at 6 m/s . When it strikes the pins, it is estimated to be moving at 5
Paul [167]

Answer:

Energy lost due to friction is 22 J      

Explanation:

Mass of the ball m = 4 kg

Initially velocity of ball v = 6 m/sec

So kinetic energy of the ball KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

KE=\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 6^2=72J

Now due to friction velocity decreases to 5 m/sec

Kinetic energy become

KE=\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 5^2=50J

Therefore energy lost due to friction = 72 -50 = 22 J

he Hobbits are building a watchtower so they can prepare to battle in case trolls decide to attack them. One Hobbit will always
joja [24]

Answer:

5m/8

Explanation:

Function T gives the time the Hobbits have to prepare for the attack, T(k), in minutes, as a function of troll's distance, k, in meters.

Function V gives visibility from the watchtower, V(m), in meters, as a function of the height of the watchtower, m, in meters.

Therefore, T(V(m)) will give the time the Hobbits have to prepare for the troll attack as a function of the height, m, of the watchtower.

We can input m into function V to obtain the visibility from watchtower, V(m), in meters. Since visibility indicates the distance you can see, this also gives the distance of the trolls. This can then be input into function T to obtain the time that the Hobbits have to prepare for a troll attack.

Let's find T(V(m)) by substituting the formula for V(m) into function T as shown below.

T(V(M))=T(50m)

=50m/80

We can simplify this as follows:

=50m/80

=5m/8
