A student sitting on a chair on a circular platform of negligible mass rotates freely on an air table at initial rotational speed 2.3 rad/s. The student's arms are initially extended with 6.0-kg dumbbells in each hand. As the student pulls her arms in toward her body, the dumbbells move from a distance of 0.80 m to 0.10 m from the axis of rotation. The initial rotational inertia of the student's body (not including the dumbbells) with arms extended is 6.0 kg⋅m2 and her final rotational inertia is 5.0 kg⋅m2.

A. Determine the student's final rotational speed.Express your answer in radians per second squared.

B. Determine the change of kinetic energy of the system consisting of the student together with the two dumbbells.Express your answer with the appropriate units.

C. Determine the change in the kinetic energy of the system consisting of the two dumbbells alone without the student.Express your answer with the appropriate units.

D. Determine the change of kinetic energy of the system consisting of student alone without the dumbbells.Express your answer with the appropriate units.

A student sits in a chair that can spin without friction. The student has her hands outstretched and starts rotating at 1.7 rev/s. Her initial rotational inertia about the central axis is 13.00 kg m2. She pulls her hands inward and decreases her rotational inertial to 7.60 kg m2. What is her resulting angular speed after she pulls her hands inward?(rad/s) (in rad/s) What is the ratio of the new kinetic energy of the system to the original kinetic energy?  ...

A student sitting on a stool is holding two 3 kg blocks next to her body such that the total moment of inertia for the student, stool and blocks is I1 = 0.9 kg m2. She is spinning at a rate of ω1 = 4 radians/second. Feeling a bit sick, and understanding physics, she extends her (massless) arms moving the blocks from the initial position R1 = 0.2 m to a distance R2 = 0.75 m. 1) Compare K1, the...

In this example we see how a system can have constant angular momentum without having a constant angular velocity! A physics professor stands at the center of a turntable, holding his arms extended horizontally, with a 5.0 kg dumbbell in each hand (Figure 1). He is set rotating about a vertical axis, making one revolution in 2.0 s. His moment of inertia (without the dumbbells) is 3.4 kg⋅m2 when his arms are outstretched, and drops to 1.8 kg⋅m2 when his...

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...

Suppose a friend is completing another physics assignment in their chair at their desk and you take the opportunity to turn this scenario into the physics question you now must complete. Your friend and chair have a combined constant moment of inertia of 5.4 kg m2, and the chair can freely rotate. Now your friend picks up two solid bricks (each of mass 1.1 kg) they accidentally collected from one of the campus buildings, and experiment with rotational kinematics. Supposing...
