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?
An ice skater rotating in place on (essentially frictionless) ice extends her arms and as result loses 10% of her kinetic energy. There is no air resistance. Explain fully what has happened. By what percentage did she change her moment of inertia?
Question 8 (6 points) A 60.0-kg skater is spinning at 0.800 rev/s with her arms and legs extended outward. In this position her moment of inertia with respect to the vertical axis about which she is spinning is 6.00 kg•m?. She pulls her arms and legs in close to her body changing her moment of inertia to 2.00 kg•m². What is her final angular velocity in rad/s? a) 8.71 rad/s b) 15.1 rad/s c) 2.40 rad/s d) 0.800 rad/s e)...
A student sits on a rotating stool holding two2.7-kg objects. When his arms are extended horizontally, the objects are 1.0 m from the axis of rotation and he rotates with an angular speed of 0.75 rad/s. The moment of inertia of the student plus stool is 3.0 kg
A student sits on a freely rotating stool holding two weights, each of mass 4 kg.. When his arms are extended horizontally, the weights are 1.1 m from the axis of rotation and he rotates with an angular speed of 0.9 rad/s. The moment of inertia of the student plus stool is 3.0 kg-m2 and is assumed to be constant. The student pulls the weights inward horizontally to a position 0.4 m from the rotation axis. Find the new angular...
The outstretched hands and arms of a figure skater preparing for a spin can be considered a slender rod pivoting about an axis through its center ( Ibar = 1 12 mℓ2 where ℓ is the length of the bar ). When the skater's hands and arms are brought in and wrapped around their body to execute the spin, the hands and arms can be considered a thin-walled hollow cylinder. The hands and arms have a combined mass 10 kg....
A figure-skater finishes her routine with a dramatic spin. Initially, she spins at a rate of 1.3 rev/sec. During this time, the figure skater has her arms stretched out. In each hand, she holds a mass of 2.3 kg at a distance of 0.65m from the center of her body. She then pulls her arms in so that the masses are tucked into the middle of her chest. The moment of inertia of her head-torso-legs remains fixed at 24 kg-m2....
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 skater is spinning about a fixed symmetrical vertical axis. When she lifts her arms above her head, her moment of inertia about this axis of rotation drops from 12.0 kg m2 to 8.00 kg m2. What is the ratio of her final rotational energy and her initial rotational energy?
A physics professor sits on a stool mounted to a low friction rotating platform while holding a 2.8 kg mass in each hand. When his arms are fully extended away from his body, the masses are each 1.15 m from the central vertical axis of rotation. A helpful student pushes on the masses as the professor begins spinning faster and faster until the professor rotates with an angular velocity of 0.9 rad/s. The moment of inertia of the professor and...
