A skater is spinning with his arms outstretched. He has a 2 lb weight in each hand. In an attempt to change his angular velocity

he lets go of both weights (by just opening his grip). Does he succeed in changing his angular velocity

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Changing momentum of any kind requires work. Work is a force acting over a distance. While holding the weights at arms length and spinning will create a force (centripetal), there is no radial distance change incurred. Releasing the weights will reduce the force to zero, still no work done and no change in angular momentum.

If he was holding the weights at arms length while spinning and he pull his hands to his chest, there now exists both the centripetal force and a distance in the direction of that force (inward radial) this work will result in an increase in angular velocity as moment of inertia has decreased with the work done.

Where does current flows maximum in? series connection or parallel connection?
notsponge [240]
Current flow depends on other things in addition to the circuit configuration. If the SAME voltage is applied to some arrangement of the SAME components, the greatest current will occur when they are all in parallel.

Which choice has more thermal energy?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

If thermal energy is the motion energy of the particles of a substance, which has more thermal energy—the cup of hot tea or a spoonful of hot tea? It makes sense that the more particles of a substance you have, then the more thermal energy the substance has. The cup of hot tea would have more thermal energy, even if the temperature of the tea is the same in the cup and in the spoon. But which cools down the quickest (has the highest rate of thermal energy transfer)—the tea in the cup or the tea in the spoon? If I have fewer particles of the same substance, then the rate of thermal energy transfer is faster. The tea in the spoon would lose thermal energy more rapidly. So the amount of a substance you have is one factor that affects the rate of thermal energy transfer.

A 50.6 g ball of copper has a net charge of 1.6 µc. what fraction of the copper's electrons have been removed? (each copper atom
Fynjy0 [20]
First figure out how many atoms you have with Avogadro's number.  Since there are 63.5 grams/mol and you have 50.6 grams, you have (50.6/63.5)6.022E23=4.7986E23 atoms.  Since there are 29 protons per atom, there are also 29 electrons per atom, so you should have a total of
29*4.7986E23=1.3916E25 electrons.
Since there is a positive charge you know some of these electrons are missing.  How many are missing can be found by dividing the charge you have by the charge on the electron:  1.6E-6/1.6022E-19 = 9.98627E12 electrons are missing.  
Now take the ratio of what is missing to what there should be:
9.98627E12/1.3916E25 = 7.1760873E-13
