You stand on a frictional platform that is rotating at 1.8 rev/s. your arms are outstretched, and you hold a heavy weight in each hand. the moment of inertia of you, the extended weights, and the platform is 9.3 kg * m^2. when you pull the weights in toward your body, the moment of inertia decreases to 5.1 kg * m^2.
(a) whatis the resulting angular speed of the platform?
(b) what is thechange in kinetic energy of the system?
(c) where did thisincrease in energy come from?

20.62361 rad/s

489.81804 J

Explanation:

= Initial moment of inertia = 9.3 kgm²

= Final moment of inertia = 5.1 kgm²

= Initial angular speed = 1.8 rev/s

= Final angular speed

As the angular momentum of the system is conserved

The resulting angular speed of the platform is 20.62361 rad/s

Change in kinetic energy is given by

The change in kinetic energy of the system is 489.81804 J

As the work was done to move the weight in there was an increase in kinetic energy

all of the answers are correct.

falsification is manipulating research materials, equipment, or processes or changing or omitting data or results such that the research is not accurately represented in the research record. plagiarism is the appropriation of another person's ideas, processes, results, or words without giving appropriate credit.
