Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body while holding a 2.0 kg mass in each hand. She then spins aroun

d on an ice rink at 1.1 m/s.
a. What is the combined angular momentum of the masses?
b. If she pulls her arms into 0.15 m, what is her new linear speed?

I'm really confused ab the explanations behind this. help, please

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

Work is the amount of energy transferred

Explanation:

In physics, work is a measure of the energy transfer occurring in a process. Typically, we talk about work when energy is converted from one form into another.

For instance, work is done when a force is applied on an object. The work done on the object is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

We notice the following:

  • No work is done when the force is perpendicular to the displacement (cos 90^{\circ}=0)
  • The work is maximum when the force is parallel to the displacement

Whenever work is done, there is also an energy transfer taking place. For instance, in the previous example, when the force is applied to the object, the object will accelerate (assume there is no friction), and will gain kinetic energy: therefore, there is a transfer of energy to the object.

When four people with a combined mass of 310 kg sit down in a 2000-kg car, they find that their weight compresses the springs an
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

F=kx

x=F/k

F=2000 kg

x=100 cm=9*10^-3

effective spring constant=k=F/x

k=2000/9*10^-3=2.2*10^-5

now frequency

f=1/2π√k/m

f=1/2*3.14√2.2*10^-5/310

f=1/6.28√7.097*10^-8

f=1/6.28*2.7*10^-4

f=0.16*2.7*10^-4

f=4.32*10^-5

What is the frequency of microwaves of wavelength 3 cm?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

10 GHz

Explanation:

Applying,

v = λf.................... Equation 1

Where v = speed of microwave, λ = wavelength, f = frequency.

make f the subject of the equation

f = v/λ................ Equation 2

Note: Microwave is an electromagnetic wave, and all electromagnetic wave have the same speed, which is 3×10⁸ m/s

From the question,

Given: λ = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Constant; v = 3×10⁸ m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

f = 3×10⁸/(0.03)

f = 10¹⁰ Hz

f = (10¹⁰/10⁹) GHz

f = 10 GHz

How can you use the density of an object to predict whether it will sink or float?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in (fluid can mean liquid or gas), it will sink. If it has a lower density, it will float. Density is determined by an object's mass and volume. If two objects take up the same volume, but have one has more mass, then it also has a higher density.
