Brady is a figure skater. He finds a few of the jumps he does to be difficult, but the rest are easy for him. He must include four jumps in his routine. He always makes the first jump a difficult one. After a difficult jump, there is a 0.4 probability that he'll do another difficult jump, and otherwise he'll do an easy one. After an easy jump, there is a 0.2 probability that he'll do another easy one, and otherwise he'll do a hard one.

What is the probability that the final (fourth) jump of his routine will be an easy one?

What is the probability that all four jumps of his routine will be difficult ones?

A figure skater is spinning slowly with arms outstretched. He brings his arms in close to his body and his angular velocity changes by a factor of 4. By what factor does his moment of inertia change, and why?

The outstretched hands and arms of a figure skater preparing for a spin can be considered...

The outstretched hands and arms of a figure skater preparing for a spin can be considered a slender rod pivoting about an axis through its center. When the skater's hands and arms are brought in and wrapped around his body to execute the spin, the hands and arms can be considered a thin-walled hollow cylinder. His hands and arms have a combined mass of 7.5 kg. When outstretched, they span 1.8 m; when wrapped, they form a cylinder of radius...

Tarzan jumps from a cliff and grabs a vine. He jumps horizontally from the cliff with initial velocity v0 at the time t0. The vine has mass M and length L. Initially, the vine is hanging straight down and is attached at its highest point, O. After the “collision” Tarzan remains attached to the vine with his center of mass at the lower edge of the vine. Tarzan’s mass is m. The vine behaves as a rod attached without friction...

[15 pts] A figure skater is spinning in place with her arms outstretched at an angular speed of 18.0 rad/s. She then raises her arms straight up to increase her angular speed. Her body has a mass of 58.0 kg and can be treated as a solid cylinder with a diameter of 36.0 cm, while each arm has a mass of 3.5 kg and can be treated as a thin rod of length 0.425 m when outstretched, and a hollow...

A 45 kg figure skater is spinning on the toes of her skates at 1.0 rev/s . Her arms are outstretched as far as they will go. In this orientation, the skater can be modeled as a cylindrical torso (40 kg , 20 cm average diameter, 160 cm tall) plus two rod-like arms (2.5 kg each, 69 cm long) attached to the outside of the torso. The skater then raises her arms straight above her head, where she appears to...

Kristi Yamaguchi a former figure skater who is the 1992 Olympic Champian, a two-time World Champian and 1992 US Champion. In her 1992 Long Program, she made a sharp turn with a radius of 22.6 m and with a speed of 16.1 m/s. Use Newton's second law to determine the acceleration and the angle of lean of Kristi 55.0-kg body. Please explain and show work if possible.
