An ice skater has a moment of inertia of 5.0 kg-m2 when her arms are outstretched. At this time she is spinning at 3.0 revolutions per second (rps). If she pulls in her arms and decreases her moment of inertia to 2.0 kg-m2, how fast will she be spinning?
A) 7.5 rps
B) 8.4 rps
C) 2.0 rps
D) 10 rps
E) 3.3 rps
Conservation of angular momentum
Since no external torque is acting
I1w1 = I2w2
5.0*3 = 2.0 w2
w2 = 7.5 rps

A skater has a moment of inertia of 100 kg . m^2 when his arms are outstretched and a moment of inertia of 75 kg . m^2 when his arms are tucked in dose to his chest. If he starts to spin at an angular speed of 2.0 rps (revolutions per second) with his arms outstretched, what will his angular speed be when they are tucked in?
An ice skater with moment of inertia 70.0 kg•m2 is spinning at 41.0 rpm. If the skater pulls in her arms, her moment of inertia decreases to 50.0 kg•m2. What is the skater’s resulting angular velocity?
An ice skater spins, with her arms and one leg outstretched, and achieves an angular velocity of 2 rad/s. when she pulls in her arms, her moment of inertia decreases to 65% its original value. what is her new angular velocity?
A figure skater is spinning slowly with arms outstretched. She brings her arms in close to her body and her moment of inertia decreases by 12. By what factor does her rotational Kinetic energy change?
A skater has a moment of inertia of 4kg.m2 when both her arms are outstretched rotating at 60 rpm. When she draws her arms in her moment of inertia drops to 0.8kg.m2 . What is her angular momentum and new speed of rotation in rpm?
1. An ice skater spins on the ice with her arms positioned tight against her body. In this position, she has a moment of inertia of 1.3 kg m2 and an angular speed of 15 rad/s. If the ice skater then stretches out her arms, and her angular speed slows to 6.0 rad/s, what is her moment of inertia with her arms outstretched? 3.64 kg m2 4.91 kg m2 3.25 kg.m2 4.39 kg m2 6.11 kg m2 А В С...
A spinning skater draws in her outstretched arms thereby reducing her moment of inertia by a factor of 3. Determine the ratio of her final kinetic energy to her initial kinetic energy.
An ice skater is spinning at 2.5 revolutions per second and has a moment of inertia of 0.85 kg m2. Estimate her rotational angular momentum, assuming for simplicity that she can be approximated as a rigid, axially-symmetric body.
An ice skater spinning with outstretched arms has an angular speed of 5.0rad/s . She tucks in her arms, decreasing her moment of inertia by 29% . What is the resulting angular speed? rad/s By what factor does the skater's kinetic energy change? (Neglect any frictional effects.) where does the extra kinetic energy come from?
An ice skater is spinning at 6.8 rev/s and has a moment of inertia of 0.24 kg ⋅ m2. Calculate the angular momentum, in kilogram meters squared per second, of the ice skater spinning at 6.8 rev/s. He reduces his rate of rotation by extending his arms and increasing his moment of inertia. Find the value of his moment of inertia (in kilogram meters squared) if his rate of rotation decreases to 1.25 rev/s. Suppose instead he keeps his arms...
