A skater extends her arms, holding a 2 kg mass in each hand. She is rotating about a vertical axis at a given rate. She brings h

er arms inward toward her body in such a way that the distance of each mass from the axis changes from 1.00 to 0.50 m. Her rate of rotation (neglecting the mass of the skater) will the final angular velocity (in rev/s) be if her moment of inertia remains approximately constant at 5kg(m2), and the distance of the masses from the axis changes from 1 m to 0.1m?a. 6b. 3c. 9d. 4e. 7

Explanation:

It is known that relation between torque and angular acceleration is as follows.

                    \tau = I \times \alpha

and,       I = \sum mr^{2}

So,      I_{1} = 2 kg \times (1 m)^{2} + 2 kg \times (1 m)^{2}

                       = 4 kg m^{2}

      \tau_{1} = 4 kg m^{2} \times \alpha_{1}

     \tau_{2} = I_{2} \alpha_{2}

So,      I_{2} = 2 kg \times (0.5 m)^{2} + 2 kg \times (0.5 m)^{2}

                     = 1 kg m^{2}

 as \tau_{2} = I_{2} \alpha_{2}

                   = 1 kg m^{2} \times \alpha_{2}        

Hence,     \tau_{1} = \tau_{2}

                  4 \alpha_{1} = \alpha_{2}

            \alpha_{1} = \frac{1}{4} \alpha_{2}

Thus, we can conclude that the new rotation is \frac{1}{4} times that of the first rotation rate.

1.5kj of energy are used every second by a microwave oven, what is the power rating of the oven?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Power is the rate at which energy is consumed. When 1 J of energy is consumed in one second, the power consumed is 1 watt.

The microwave consumes 1.5 kJ of energy.

In joules, the energy consumed is 1500 J

P=\frac{E}{t}

Here, E is the energy consumed in time interval <em>t.</em>

The power rating of the microwave is therefore,

P=\frac{1500J}{1 s} \\ =1500 W

Thus, the power rating of the oven is 1500 W or 1.5 kW

Sauron [17]
Hi,

The force that acts on hydraulic machine is heavy therefore the content must be something that cannot be compressed by that kind of force, the gas can easily be compressed while a liquid is nearly impossible to.

6–23 an automobile engine consumes fuel at a rate of 22 l/h and delivers 55 kw of power to the wheels. if the fuel has a heating
Anna007 [38]

Explanation & answer:

Given:

Fuel consumption, C = 22 L/h

Specific gravity = 0.8

output power, P  =  55 kW

heating value, H = 44,000 kJ/kg

Solution:

Calculate energy intake

E = C*P*H

= (22 L/h) / (3600 s/h) * (1000 mL/L) * (0.8 g/mL) * (44000 kJ/kg)

= (22/3600)*1000*0.8*44000 j/s

= 215111.1 j/s

Calculate output power

P = 55 kW

= 55000 j/s

Efficiency

= output / input

= P/E

=55000 / 215111.1

= 0.2557

= 25.6% to 1 decimal place.
