You stand on a frictionless platform that is rotating with an angular speed of 5.1 rev/s. Your arms are outstretched, and you ho
timurjin [86]

Answer:

\omega'=19.419\ rev.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

angular speed of rotation of friction-less platform, \omega=5.1\ rev.s^{-1}

moment of inertia with extended weight, I=9.9\ kg.m^2

moment of inertia with contracted weight, I'=2.6\ kg.m^2

<u>Now we use the law of conservation of angular momentum:</u>

I.\omega=I'.\omega'

9.9\times 5.1=2.6\times \omega'

\omega'=19.419\ rev.s^{-1}

The angular speed becomes faster as the mass is contracted radially near to the axis of rotation.

Predict what happens when glucose levels are high in the humms body
Goryan [66]

Glucose is blood sugar (hyperglycemia) comes from diabeties often, but can occur with other reasons, when glucose is to high someoenes sugar raises. Often this can lead to a diabetic coma, fatigue, vomiting, hospitalization, and even death if serious enough, from to high sugar. Many things can happen after this, and a lot are serious.

on the flip side (hypoglycemia) if sugar gets to low, confusion, fainting, vomiting, and nausea occur, as well as comas, and death if serious enought.
