Answer:

When she stretches her arms out,<em> B) her angular speed ω increases due to her moment of inertia decreasing</em>

Explanation:

The angular momentum of a rotating object is defined as the product of its moment of inertia and angular speed.

<em>L = I ω</em>

<em>where</em>

  • <em>L is the angular momentum</em>
  • <em>I is the moment of inertia</em>
  • <em>ω is the angular speed</em>

<em />

According to the principle of conservation of angular momentum, if there is no external torque, angular momentum of the skater must remain conserved. If the initial and final moment of inertia is <em>I_i and I_f  </em>while corresponding angular velocities are <em>ω_i and ω_f , </em>then the principle of conservation of angular momentum can be expressed as the following equation:

<em>(I_f) (ω_f) = (I_i) (ω_i)</em>

<em>ω_f / ω_i = I_i / I_f</em>

<em />

From the expression above, we can see that if the moment of inertia decreases, angular velocity would increase to conserve angular momentum of the skater.

Therefore, When she stretches her arms out,<em> her angular speed ω increases due to her moment of inertia decreasing.</em>

What are the differences between oceanic and continental crust
Lostsunrise [7]

Explanation:

Both oceanic crust and continental crust are less dense than the mantle, but oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. ... Because continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust it floats higher on the mantle, just like a piece of Styrofoam floats higher on water than a piece of wood does.

The continental crust is by far the older of the two types of crust.

Hope this helps you out ; )

according to newton's law of universal gravitation, in which of the following situations does the gravitational attraction betwe
Alex17521 [72]

Explanation:

The force acting between two masses is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}........(1)

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

m_1\ and\ m_2 are masses

d is the distance between two masses

It is clear from equation (1) that the gravitational attraction between the bodies always increases if the masses of bodies increases and when the separation between masses decreases.

So, the correct answer is "the masses increase, and the distance between the centers of mass decreases". This is because the force of gravitation is directly proportional to the masses and inversely proportional to the separation.

A heat engine (Power Cycle) with a thermal efficiency of 35 percent efficiency produces 750 kJ of work. Heat transfer to the eng
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a) The schematic illustrating is attached

b) The heat transfer to the heat engine is 2142.86 kJ, the heat transfer from the heat engine is 1392.86 kJ

c) The heat transfer to the heat engine is 1648.35 kJ, the heat transfer from the heat engine is 898.35 kJ

Explanation:

b) The heat transfer to the engine and the heat transfer from the engine to the air is:

Q_{1} =\frac{W}{n}

Where

W = 750 kJ

n = 35% = 0.25

Replacing:

Q_{1} =\frac{750}{0.35} =2142.86kJ

Q_{2} =Q_{1} -W=2142.86-750=1392.86kJ

c) The efficiency of Carnot engine is:

n=1-\frac{300K}{550K} =0.455

The heat transfer to the heat engine is:

Q_{1c} =\frac{750}{0.455} =1648.35kJ

The heat transfer from the heat engine is:

Q_{2c} =1648.35-750=898.35kJ

Metals are good conductors of electricity because they _________
Gnesinka [82]

Metals are good conductors because the molecules that are inside the metal are tightly packed together. This is why the heat moves through the metal quickly.
