Since no external torque is acting on the system you can use the conservation of angular momentum. I derived the final angular speed below and shown my work on how I did it. It’s now just a matter of plugging in the numbers and using correct placement of negative sign for direction of angular velocity. L in the picture stands for angular momentum. Hope it helps
The speed change : Δv = 0.41 m/s
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
mass = 5.5 kg
Force = 15 N
time = 0.15 s
Required
the speed change
Solution
Newton 2nd's law
Impulse and momentum
F = m.a
F = m . Δv/t
F.t = m.Δv
Input the value :
15 N x 0.15 s = 5.5 kg x Δv
Δv = 0.41 m/s
As the shock waves travel in concentric outward circles from the epicenter, and the diameter is measured 120 miles,
area of a circle =<span>π</span><span>r*r</span>
d=120
<span>r=<span>120/2</span></span><span>r=60</span><span><span>60*60</span>=3600</span><span>3600*π=11309.734</span>
<span>11309.734 square miles</span>
