Answer:

a. Her moment of inertia increases and she rotates slower.

Explanation:

As we know that initially when she starts her motion she is in piked position due to which her whole mass is concentrated near the axis of rotation

So here the rotational Inertia of her body will be smaller

Now when is comes closer to the position of landing she extends into layout position due to which her mass will move away from the axis of rotation

Due to this the rotational inertia of her body will increase

now we know that there is no external torque on the system

so here angular momentum must be conserved

So we will have

I\omega = constant

so if rotational inertia is increasing then angular speed must be slower

so correct answer will be

a. Her moment of inertia increases and she rotates slower.

How much time does it take light from a flash camera to reach a subject 6.0 meters across a room in scientific notation?
wariber [46]

The time it takes light from a flash camera to reach a subject 6.0 meters across a room in scientific notation is 2.0 *10^-8 s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Given</u>

t=?

d=6m

v=3*10^8 m/s

we  have,  v=d/t

here t=d/v

t=6m/3*10^8 m/s

v=2*10^-8 m/s

The time it takes light from a flash camera to reach a subject 6.0 meters across a room in scientific notation is 2.0 *10^-8 s.

Use the collision theory to explain how increasing the temperature of a reaction will affect the rate of the reaction.
kirill115 [55]
Increasing the temperature causes the particles in the reaction to become kinetically excited, hitting one another in increasing frequency. Increased collision among means faster rate or reaction.

A force of 85 N is used to push a box along the floor a distance of 15 m. How much work was done?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

1275J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force on box  = 85N

Distance moved  = 15m

Unknown:

Work done  = ?

Solution:

Work done is the amount of force applied on a body to move it through a specific distance.

 Work done  = Force x distance

Now insert the parameters and solve;

 Work done = 85 x 15  = 1275J

A 6 m long, uniform ladder leans against a frictionless wall and makes an angle of 74.3 ◦ with the floor. The ladder has a mass
olganol [36]

Answer: µ=0.205

Explanation:

The horizontal forces acting on the ladder are the friction(f) at the floor and the normal force (Fw) at the wall. For horizontal equilibrium,

f=Fw

The sum of the moments about the base of the ladder Is 0

ΣM = 0 = Fw*L*sin74.3º - (25.8kg*(L/2) + 67.08kg*0.82L)*cos74.3º*9.8m/s²

Note that it doesn't matter WHAT the length of the ladder is -- it cancels.

Solve this for Fw.

0= 0.9637FwL - (67.91L)2.652

Fw=180.1/0.9637

Fw=186.87N

f=186.81N

Since Fw=f

We know Fw, so we know f.

But f = µ*Fn

where Fn is the normal force at the floor --

Fn = (25.8 + 67.08)kg * 9.8m/s² =

910.22N

so

µ = f / Fn

186.81/910.22

µ= 0.205
