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!

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Chloride and Salt

Explanation:

that make up table salt, a.k.a. sodium chloride (NaCl). ... As sodium chloride (NaCl) or calcium chloride (CaCl2) dissolve in water, ... the compound formed when a positive ion combines with a negative ion out of solution, but ... waters may have more if there is weathering or leaching from nearby mineral-rich soils and rocks.
