Answer:
25.33 rpm
Explanation:
M = 100 kg
m1 = 22 kg
m2 = 28 kg
m3 = 33 kg
r = 1.60 m
f = 20 rpm
Let the new angular speed in rpm is f'.
According to the law of conservation of angular momentum, when no external torque is applied, then the angular momentum of the system remains constant.
Initial angular momentum = final angular momentum
(1/2 x M x r^2 + m1 x r^2 + m2 x r^2 + m3 x r^2) x ω =
(1/2 x M x r^2 + m1 x r^2 + m3 x r^2 ) x ω'
(1/2 M + m1 + m2 + m3) x 2 x π x f = (1/2 M + m1 + m3) x 2 x π x f'
( 1/2 x 100 + 22 + 28 + 33) x 20 = (1/2 x 100 + 22 + 33) x f'
2660 = 105 x f'
f' = 25.33 rpm
<span>Its the impact theory.
It suggests that the moon resulted from the collision of two protoplanets, or embryonic worlds. One of those was the just-forming Earth, and the other was a Mars-size object called Theia. The moon then coalesced from the debris, thus giving it its irregular shape.</span>
