A student sits on a rotating chair holding two 6.0kg masses. When his arms are extended horizontally, the masses 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 students plus stool is 6.0 kg m2 and is assumed to be constant. The student pulls the masses horizontally to a 0.30m from the axis of rotation.

(a) Find the new angular speed of the student.  

(b) Find the kinetic energy of the student before and after he pulls the weights inward.

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 person stands at the center of a turntable, holding his arms extended horizontally with a 1.5 kg dumbbell in each hand. He is set rotation about a vertical axis, making one revolution in 2 seconds. Find the new angular velocity if he pulls the dumbbells in to his middle. His moment of inertia (without dumbbells) is 3 kgm2 when his arms are out stretched, dropping to 2.2 kgm2 when his hands are at his middle. The dumbbells are 1...

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?  ...
