Answer:

<em>A) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed increases. </em>

Explanation:

The complete question is

A merry-go-round spins freely when Diego moves quickly to the center along a radius of the  merry-go-round. As he does this, It is true to say that

A) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed increases.

B) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed decreases.

C) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed remains the same.

D) the moment of inertia of the system increases and the angular speed increases.

E) the moment of inertia of the system increases and the angular speed decreases

In angular momentum conservation, the initial angular momentum of the system is conserved, and is equal to the final angular momentum of the system. The equation of this angular momentum conservation is given as

I_{1} w_{1} = I_{2} w_{2}    ....1

where I_{1} and I_{2} are the initial and final moment of inertia respectively.

and w_{1} and w_{2} are the initial and final angular speed respectively.

Also, we know that the moment of inertia of a rotating body is given as

I = mr^{2}    ....2

where m is the mass of the rotating body,

and r is the radius of the rotating body from its center.

We can see from equation 2 that decreasing the radius of rotation of the body will decrease the moment of inertia of the body.

From equation 1, we see that in order for the angular momentum to be conserved, the decrease from I_{1} to I_{2} will cause the angular speed of the system to increase from w_{1} to w_{2} .

From this we can clearly see that reducing the radius of rotation will decrease the moment of inertia, and increase the angular speed.

how much force is needed to move a brick with a mass of 345-kg a distance of 28m while doing 1008 j of work?
Travka [436]

    Work = (force) x (distance)

     1,008 J  =  (force) x (28 m)

Divide each side by 28m  :    (1,008 kg-m²/sec²) / (28 m)  =  force

                                           Force =  36 kg-m/s²  =  36 Newtons .
                                                                      (about 8.1 pounds)

It doesn't matter what that force accomplishes.
It could be moving a brick, lifting a fish, or pushing a little red wagon.
In order to do 1,008 joules of work in 28 meters, it takes 36 N of force,
in the direction of the 28 meters.

Quanto tempo deve ficar ligado um ferro eletrico de 1000 w para que tenha o mesmo consumo de energia que um chuveiro de 4400 w q
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Thus, the time for the first lamp is 44 minutes.

Explanation:

Power of first lamp, P' = 1000 W

Power of second lamp, P'' = 4400 W

time for second lamp, t'' = 10 minutes

Let the time for first lamp is t'.

As the energy is same, so,

P' x t' = P'' x t''

1000 x t' = 4400 x 10

t' = 44 minutes

RSB [31]

Answer:

1.2 kg

Explanation:

Let UP ramp be the positive direction

                                                  F = ma

   T     -   Wt ||      -         Ff            = m(0)

  mg   -  Μgsinθ -      μΜgcosθ    = 0

m(9.8) - 13sin35 - 0.36(13)cos35 = 0        

                                                 m = 13(sin35 + 0.36cos35) / 9.8

                                                 m = 1.15205... ≈ 1.2 kg

Which microscope has the highest potential magnification? comparison microscope scanning electron microscope compound microscope
TiliK225 [7]

The answer is the electron microscope. It is a kind of microscope that uses electrons to light a sample and make an enlarged image. These kinds of microscopes have much better determining power than light microscopes and can get much higher magnifications.

Why is the answer C?
4vir4ik [10]

Explanation:

We want to find the statement that is proven by the fact that the balls reach the same height.

A isn't supported by the evidence.  Balls can reach the same height without having the same initial speed.

B isn't supported by the evidence.  Balls can reach the same height without having the same launch angle.

C is supported.  Projectiles spend the same amount of time going up as they do coming down, so if two projectiles reach the same height, then they must spend the same amount of time in the air.

D isn't supported by the evidence.  Balls thrown at the same speed and complementary angles have the same range but different heights.

E isn't supported by the evidence.  The mass of the ball doesn't affect the height.
