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
Physics

Softa [21]3 years ago

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.

gladu [14]

Answer:

0.05

Explanation:

Divide the mass of the solute by the total volume of the solution. Write out the equation C = m/V, where m is the mass of the solute and V is the total volume of the solution. Plug in the values you found for the mass and volume, and divide them to find the concentration of your solution.
