Answer:
Explanation:
This question is based on the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum.
Angular momentum (L) equals the moment of inertia (I) times the angular speed (ω).
L = Iω
If momentum is conserved,
I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂
Data:
I₁ = 3.5 kg·m²s⁻¹
ω₁ = 6.0 rev·s⁻¹
I₂ = 0.70 kg·m²s⁻¹
Calculation:
Answer:
<em>t=3.5 seconds</em>
Explanation:
<u>Moving at Constant Speed</u>
Let's suppose and object travels in a constant direction and covers the same distances x at the same time t, we say it has a constant speed. It can be computed as:
The time taken to go through the distance x is computed by
Our shark moves at v=12 m/s and we need to compute the time it takes to swim x=42 m, so we have
It takes the shark 3.5 seconds to swim 42 m
