A professor sits on a rotating stool that is spinning at 10.0 rpm while she holds a heavy weight in each of her hands. Her outst

retched hands are 0.795 m from the axis of rotation, which passes through her head into the center of the stool. When she symmetrically pulls the weights in closer to her body, her angular speed increases to 40.5 rpm. Neglecting the mass of the professor, how far are the weights from the rotational axis after she pulls her arms in

Answer:

0.3950m

Explanation:

Use conservation of angular momentum:

Let L be the angular momentum(a vector).

We know that:p=mv, L=l\omega, \ \ \ l=\sum (m_ir_i^2)} and that the two masses have the same radius:

L_o=2mr_o^2\omega_o=L_f=2mr_f^2\omega_f\\\\r_o=0.795m,\omega_o=10\times2\pi \ rad/m , \omega_f=40.5\times 2\pi \ rad/m\\\\\therefore r_f=r_o\sqrt{(w_o/w_f)}\\\\r_f=0.795\sqrt{(10.0/40.5)}\\\\r_f=0.3950m

Hence, the weights are 0.3950m away .

What is true of the moon's orbital and rotational periods?
Eddi Din [679]
The moon's orbital and rotational periods are identical or the same, I<span>ts rate of spin is done in unison with its rate of revolution (the time that is needed to complete one orbit). Thus, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.</span>

A -3.00 nc point charge is at the origin, and a second -5.50 nc point charge is on the x-axis at x = 0.800 m. find the electric
Liula [17]

The electric field produced by a single-point charge is given by

E(r)=k\frac{q}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge


To find the electric field at x=0.200 m, we need to find the electric field produced by each charge at that point, and then find their resultant.


1) The first charge is q=-3.00 nC=-3.00 \cdot 10^{-9} C, and it is located at x=0, so its distance from the point x=0.200 m is

r=0.200 m-0=0.2 m

Therefore, the electric field is

E_1=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(3.0 \cdot 10^{-9} C)}{(0.2 m)^2}=675 N/C

And since the charge is negative, the direction of the field is toward the charge, so toward negative x direction.


2) The second charge is q=-5.50 nC=-5.5 \cdot 10^{-9}C and it is located at x=0.800 m, so its distance from the point is

r=0.800 m-0.200 m=0.6 m

Therefore, the electric field is

E_2 = (8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(5.5 \cdot 10^{-9} C)}{(0.6 m)^2}=137.5 N

And since the charge is negative, the direction of the field is toward the charge, so toward positive x-direction.


3) The total electric field at x=0.200 m will be given by the difference between the two fields (because they are in opposite directions). Taking the x-positive direction as positive direction, we have

E=E_2 -E_1 =137.5 N/C/C-675 N/C=-537.5 N/C

and the sign tells us that the field is directed toward negative x-direction.

You toss a 0.40-kg ball at 9.0 ms/ to a 14-kg dog standing on an iced-over pond. The dog catches the ball and begins to slide on
just olya [345]

Answer:

a)   v_{f} = 0.25 m / s  b) u = 0.25 m / s

Explanation:

a) To solve this problem let's start with the conservation of the moment, for this we define a system formed by the ball plus the dog, in this case all the forces are internal and the moment is conserved

We will write the data

     m₁ = 0.40 kg

     v₁₀ = 9.0 m / s

     m₂ = 14 kg

     v₂₀ = 0

Initial

     po = m₁ v₁₀

Final

     p_{f} = (m₁ + m₂) vf

     po = pf

     m₁ v₁₀ = (m₁ + m₂) v_{f}

      v_{f} = v₁₀ m₁ / (m₁ + m₂)

      v_{f} = 9.0 (0.40 / (0.40 +14)

      v_{f} = 0.25 m / s

b) This is the reference frame of the center of mass of the system in this case the speed of this frame is the speed of the center of mass

      u = 0.25 m / s

In the direction of movement of the ball

c) Let's calculate the kinetic energy in both moments

Initial

     K₀ = ½ m₁ v₁₀² +0

     K₀ = ½ 0.40 9 2

     K₀ = 16.2 J

Final

     K_{f}= ½ (m₁ + m₂) v_{f}2

      K_{f} = ½ (0.4 +14) 0.25 2

    K_{f} = 0.45 J

   

    ΔK = K₀ -  K_{f}

    ΔK = 16.2-0.445

    ΔK = 1575 J

These will transform internal system energy

d) In order to find the kinetic energy, we must first find the velocities of the individual in this reference system.

      v₁₀’= v₁₀ -u

      v₁₀’= 9 -.025

      v₁₀‘= 8.75 m / s

      v₂₀ ‘= v₂₀ -u

      v₂₀‘= - 0.25 m / s

      v_{f} ‘=   v_{f} - u

      v_{f} = 0

Initial

    K₀ = ½ m₁ v₁₀‘² + ½ m₂ v₂₀‘²

    Ko = ½ 0.4 8.75² + ½ 14.0 0.25²

    Ko = 15.31 + 0.4375

    K o = 15.75 J

Final

   k_{f} = ½ (m₁ + m₂) vf’²

  k_{f} = 0

All initial kinetic energy is transformed into internal energy in this reference system
