A reasonable estimate of the moment of inertia of an ice skater spinning with her arms at her sides can be made by modeling most

of her body as a uniform cylinder. Suppose the skater has a mass of 64 kg . One eighth of that mass is in her arms, which are 60 cm long and 20 cm from the vertical axis about which she rotates. The rest of her mass is approximately in the form of a 20-cm-radius cylinder.
A) Estimate the skater's moment of inertia to two significant figures.
B) If she were to hold her arms outward, rather than at her sides, would her moment of inertia increase, decrease, or remain unchanged?

Answer:

a)  I = 1.44 kg m², b)  I = 3.18 kg m² ,  The moment of inertia increases

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of a body is a scalar, additive quantity, so we can add the moment of inertia of each part, if everything revolves around the same axis

The moment of inertia of a cylinder is

        I = ½ m r²

The moment of total inertia is

         I = I_body + 2 I_arm

         I = ½ M r² + 2 m_arm r²

The most body without arms is

         M = M - 1/8 M

         M = 64 - 1/8 64 = 64 (1-1 / 8)

         M = 56 kg

The mass of the arms is

         m = 8 kg

Each arm has a mass of m_arm = 4 kg

Calculate

a) The moment of inertia with the arms attached to the body

        I = ½ 56 0.2² + 8 0.2²

       I = 1.44 kg m²

b) With the arms the moment of inertia changes

     For the arms we use the parallel axes theorem

              I_arm = I_{cm} + m d²

Let's approach the arm with a thin stick

             I_{cm} = 1/12 m L²

The distance is

              d = L / 2 + 0.20

              d = 0.6 / 2 + 0.2

              d = 0.50 m

 

            I = ½ M r² + (1/12 m L² +  2 m_arm d²)

            I = ½ 56 0.2² + (1/12 * 8 0.3² +2 4 0.5²)

            I = 1.12 + (0.06 +2)

            I = 3.18 kg m²

The moment of inertia increases

If a ball is 10m high with what velocity will it fall?
Semmy [17]

14m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of the ball = 10m

Unknown:

Velocity of fall or final velocity = ?

Solution:

We are going to use the appropriate equation of motion to solve this problem.

The object is falling with respect to gravity.

  V² = U² + 2gH

where V is the final velocity

            U is the initial velocity

             g is the acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s²

             H is the height of fall

The initial velocity here is zero and

      V² = 2 x 9.8 x 10 = 196

       V = 14m/s

Explanation:

Acceleration is your changing Velocity. An object that is ACCELERATING is experiencing a change in velocity. usually positive. if an object such as a car reduces velocity, it is called deceleration

A rocket's acceleration is 6.0 m/s2. Assuming it starts at 0 m/s, how long will it take for the rocket to reach a velocity of 42
elena-s [515]
You said "<span>A rocket's acceleration is 6.0 m/s2.".

That just means that its speed increases by 6 m/s every second.
Whenever you look at it, its speed is 6 m/s faster than it was
one second earlier.

If it starts out with zero speed, then its speed is 6 m/s after 1 second,
12 m/s after 2 seconds, 18 m/s after 3 seconds . . . etc.

How long does it take to reach 42 m/s ?

Well, how many times does it have to go 6 m/s FASTER 
in order to build up to 42 m/s ?

That's just (42/6) = 7 times.

Writing it correctly, with the units and everything, it looks like this:


(42 m/s) / (6 m/s</span>²)

= (42/6)  (m/s) / (m/s²)

= (42/6)  (m/s · s²/m)

=  7 seconds
