A professor sits at rest on a stool that can rotate without friction. The rotational inertia of the professor-stool system is 4.

1 kg · m2 . A student tosses a 1.5-kg mass with a speed of 2.7 m/s to the professor, who catches it at a distance of 0.40 m from the axis of rotation. What is the resulting angular speed of the professor and the stool? (Assume that when the professor catches the mass, their arm is extended along a line radially outward from the axis of rotation, and the velocity of the mass is perpendicular to that line.)

Answer:

\omega=0.37 [rad/s]  

Explanation:

We can use the conservation of the angular momentum.

L=mvR

I\omega=mvR

Now the Inertia is I(professor_stool) plus mR², that is the momentum inertia of a hoop about central axis.

So we will have:

(I_{proffesor - stool}+mR^{2})\omega=mvR

Now, we just need to solve it for ω.

\omega=\frac{mvR}{I_{proffesor-stool}+mR^{2}}

\omega=\frac{1.5*2.7*0.4}{4.1+1.5*0.4^{2}}      

\omega=0.37 [rad/s]  

I hope it helps you!

How has God designed sound waves so that a person is able to hear all the different instruments in a musical piece at the same t
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: when the wave encounters something, it can bounce (reflection) or be bent (refraction). In fact, you can "trap" waves by making them bounce back and forth between two or more surfaces. Musical instruments take advantage of this; they produce pitches by trapping sound waves.

Explanation:  Any bunch of sound waves will produce some sort of noise. But to be a tone - a sound with a particular pitch - a group of sound waves has to be very regular, all exactly the same distance apart. That's why we can talk about the frequency and wavelength of tones.

calculate the distance a plane flies on a 7.95 hour flight from Chicago to London. Assume a constant speed of 800.0 km/h
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

6360 km

Explanation:

Use the kinematics equation x=v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2.  We are given t = 7.95 hours and a = 0 m/s^2 (constant speed means there is no acceleration).  Solve for x.

x=(800)(7.95)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(7.95^2)\\x=6360 \ km
