Kristen is spinning on the ice at 40 rad/s about her longitudinal axis when she abducts her arms and doubles her radius of gyration about her longitudinal axis from 32 cm to 64 cm. if her angular momentum is conserved, what is her angular velocity about her longitudinal axis after she increases her radius of gyration (in rad/s)

I = k^2m.. equa1

I = moment of inertia

M = mass of skater

K = radius of gyration.

When her angular momentum is conserved we have

Iw = I1W1... equ 2

Where I = with extended arm, w = angular momentum =40rads/s, I1 = inertia when hands her tucked in, w1 = angular momentum when hands are tucked in.

Substituting equation 1 into equ2 and simplifying to give

W = (k/k1)^2W..equation 3

Where'd k= 64cm, k1 = 32cm, w = angular momentum when hands is tucked in= 40rad/s

Substituting figures into equation 3

W1 = 10rad/s

Explanation:

Assuming a centroidal axis of the skater gives equation 1

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
