A student sits on a freely rotating stool holding two weights, each of mass 2.93 kg. When his arms are extended horizontally, the weights are 1.10 m from the axis of rotation and he rotates with an angular speed of 0.754 rad/s. The moment of inertia of the student plus stool is 2.93 kg·m2 and is assumed to be constant. The student pulls the weights inward horizontally to a position 0.296 m from the rotation axis.

(a) Find the new angular speed of the student.
rad/s
(b) Find the kinetic energy of the rotating system before and after he pulls the weights inward.
J (before)
J (after)

A student on a piano stool rotates freely with an angular speed of 2.92 rev/s. The student holds a 1.50-kg mass in each outstretched arm, 0.752 m from the axis of rotation. The combined moment of inertia of the student and the stool, ignoring the two masses, is 5.48 kg*m^2, a value that remains constant. As the student pulls his arms inward, his angular speed increases to 3.41 rev/s. A) How far are the masses from the axis of rotation...

A student sitting on a frictionless rotating stool has rotational inertia 0.96 kg⋅m2 about a vertical axis through her center of mass when her arms are tight to her chest. The stool rotates at 7.35 rad/s and has negligible mass. The student extends her arms until her hands, each holding a 5.0 kg mass, are 0.80 m from the rotation axis. Ignoring her arm mass, what's her new rotational velocity? Repeat if each arm is modeled as a 0.80 m...
