Evaporation (or another word to use is water vapor.)
Answer:
a.) L = 2.64 kgm^2/s
b.) V = 4.4 m/s
Explanation: Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body. This will be considered as radius.
So,
Radius r = 0.6 m
Mass M = 2 kg
Velocity V = 1.1 m/s
Angular momentum L can be expressed as;
L = MVr
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
L = 2 × 1.1 × 0.6 = 1.32kgm^2s^-1
the combined angular momentum of the masses will be 2 × 1.32 = 2.64 kgm^2s-1
b. If she pulls her arms into 0.15 m,
New radius = 0.15 m
Using the same formula again
L = 2( MVr)
2.64 = 2( 2 × V × 0.15 )
1.32 = 0.3 V
V = 1.32/0.3
V = 4.4 m/s
Her new linear speed will be 4.4 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
The initial velocity of a skater is, u = 5 m/s
She slows to a velocity of 2 m/s over a distance of 20 m.
We can find the acceleration of skater. It is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So, it can be calculated using third equation of motion as follows :
a = acceleration
So, her acceleration is 
and she is deaccelerating. Also, her initial velocity is given i.e. 5 m/s.
