A professor, with dumbbells in his hands and holding his arms out, is spinning on a turntable with an angular velocity. What hap

pens after he pulls his arms inwards
Physics
1 answer:
Olenka [21]3 years ago

Answer:

<em>His angular velocity will increase.</em>

Explanation:

According to the conservation of rotational momentum, the initial angular momentum of a system must be equal to the final angular momentum of the system.

The angular momentum of a system = I'ω'

where

I' is the initial rotational inertia

ω' is the initial angular velocity

the rotational inertia = mr'^{2}

where m is the mass of the system

and r' is the initial radius of rotation

Note that the professor does not change his position about the axis of rotation, so we are working relative to the dumbbells.

we can see that with the mass of the dumbbells remaining constant, if we reduce the radius of rotation of the dumbbells to r, the rotational inertia will reduce to I.

From

I'ω' = Iω

since I is now reduced, ω will be greater than ω'

therefore, the angular velocity increases.

You are conducting an experiment inside an elevator that can move in a vertical shaft. A load is hung vertically from the ceilin
Ivan

Answer: The elevator must be accelerating.

Explanation:

As the tension force is opposing to the the force of gravity on the load which is hung vertically, and the tension force can adopt any value in order to comply with Newton's 2nd law, if the tension force is less than the force due to gravity, this means that all system is not in equilibrium, so it must be accelerating.

If we assume that the downward is the positive direction, we can write:

mg - T = ma

If T = 0.9 mg, ⇒ mg (1-0.9) =0.1 mg = m a ⇒a = 0.1 g , in downward direction.

A silica-rich igneous rock that has large crystals and makes up much of the continental crust is ________
Oxana [17]
A silica-rich igneous rock that has large crystals and makes up much of the continental crust is called granite. These rocks are usually pink, gray or white  in color depending on the minerals found on the rock. Generally, granite would have a range of 20% to 60% by volume of quartz and a minimum of 35% feldspar. This rock is a result from  volcanic arcs and from the collision of continental masses. Due to its abundance, it has been used in a number of applications. It is used as an aggregate and filler in roading and construction industries. It is also cut and polished to be used in foyers, building facings, bench counters and tops.
