Explanation:

∆x=300 m×2

∆t=1.5 s

v=∆x/∆t → v=2×300/1.5 = 400 m/s

You stand on a frictional platform that is rotating at 1.8 rev/s. Your arms are outstretched, and you hold a heavy weight in eac

dusya [7]

Answer:

20.62361 rad/s

489.81804 J

Explanation:

$I_i$ = Initial moment of inertia = 9.3 kgm²

$I_f$ = Final moment of inertia = 5.1 kgm²

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular speed = 1.8 rev/s

$\omega_f$ = Final angular speed

As the angular momentum of the system is conserved

$I_i\omega_i=I_f\omega_f\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{I_i\omega_i}{I_f}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{9.3\times 1.8}{5.1}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=3.28235\ rev/s=3.28235\times 2\pi=20.62361\ rad/s$

The resulting angular speed of the platform is 20.62361 rad/s

Change in kinetic energy is given by

$\Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}(I_f\omega_f^2-I_i\omega_i^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}(5.1\times (20.62361)^2-9.3\times (1.8\times 2\pi)^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=489.81804\ J$

The change in kinetic energy of the system is 489.81804 J

As the work was done to move the weight in there was an increase in kinetic energy
