Answer:

B. 20 meters/second, 20 meters/second

Explanation:

Velocity of John = 20 meters/second north = +20 meters/second

Velocity of Betty =  20 meters/second south = -20 meters/second

If north is considered as positive then south will be negative.

So, the velocity of John will be +20 meters/second and velocity of Betty will be -20 meters/second.

But, the question is about their speeds and not velocity. The signs represent the directions. Speed does not show direction.

So, speed of John and Betty is 20 meters/second.

A circular bird feeder 19.0 cm in radius has rotational inertia 0.130 kg·m2. It's suspended by a thin wire and is spinning slowl
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

N₂=20.05 rpm

Explanation:

Given that

R= 19 cm

I=0.13 kg.m²

N₁ = 24.2 rpm

\omega_1=\dfrac{2\pi \times 24.2}{60}\ rda/s

ω₁= 2.5 rad/s

m= 173 g = 0.173 kg

v=1.2 m

Initial angular momentum L₁

L₁ =  Iω₁  - m v r       ( negative sign because bird coming opposite to motion of the wire motion)

Final linear momentum L₂

L₂=  I₂ ω₂

 I₂ = I + m r²

The is no any external torque that is why angular momentum will be conserve

L₁ = L₂

Iω₁  - m v r =  I₂ ω₂

Iω₁  - m v r =  ( I + m r²) ω₂

Now by putting the all values

Iω₁  - m v r =  ( I + m r²) ω₂

0.13 x 2.5 - 0.173 x 1.2 x 0.19 =  ( 0.13 + 0.173 x  0.19²) ω₂

0.325  - 0.0394 = 0.136 ω₂

ω₂ = 2.1 rad/s

\omega_2=\dfrac{2\pi \times N_2}{60}

N₂=20.05 rpm
