A diver can reduce her moment of inertia by a factor of about 3.5 when changing from the straight position to the tuck position.

If she makes two rotations in 1.5 seconds when in the tuck position, what is her angular speed (rad/sec) when in the straight position?

Answer:

29.3 rad/s

Explanation:

Moment of inertia in straight position, I1 = I

He takes 2 rotations in 1.5 second

So, Time period, T = 1.5 / 2 = 0.75 second

w1 = 2 x 3.14 / T = 2 x 3.14 / 0.75 = 8.37 rad/s

Moment of inertia in tucked position, I2 = I / 3.5

Let the new angular speed is w2.

By the use of conservation of angular momentum, if no external torque is applied, then angular momentum is constant.

L1 = L2

I1 w1 = I2 w2

I x 8.37 = I / 3.5 x w2

w2 = 29.3 rad/s

When you throw a ball upward, its kinetic energy ____ (DECREASES,INCREASES,REMAINS THE SAME) and its potential energy _____ (DEC
Anettt [7]
When the ball goes upward, the velocity is decreasing. Therefore, the kinetic energy is decreased. The potential energy when the ball's height increases also increases. When the ball reaches maximum, the velocity becomes zero and the kinetic energy is minimum.

A horse running at 3 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 5 m/s2. How fast is the
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The horse is going at 12.72 m/s speed.

Explanation:

The initial speed of the horse (u) = 3 m/s

The acceleration of the horse (a)= 5 m/s^{2}

The displacement( it is assumed it is moving in a straight line)(s)= 15.3 m

Applying the second equation of motion to find out the time,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

15.3=3t+2.5t^{2}

2.5t^{2}+3t-15.3=0

Solving this quadratic equation, we get time(t)=1.945 s, the other negative time is neglected.

Now applying first equation of motion, to find out the final velocity,

v=u+at

v=3+1.945*5

v=3+9.72

v=12.72 m/s

The horse travels at a speed of 12.72 m/s after covering the given distance.
