A person is seated in a swivel chair. The moment of inertia
around the swivel point will be about 3.0 kg m2for the person and
chair combined. If their "friend" starts to spin them, changing
their rate of rotation from 1.5 rad/s to 2.0 rad/s in 2.5 s, the
net torque being applied is:
a. 0.60nm
b. 1.1nm
c. 2.4nm
d. 3.8nm
e. none of these
A person is seated in a swivel chair. The moment of inertia
around the swivel point will be about 3.0 kg m2for the person and
chair combined. If their "friend" starts to spin them, producing an
angular acceleration of 4.0 rad/s2 for 5.0 s, the net torque being
applied is:
a. 0.75nm
b. 1.3nm
c. 2.4nm
d. 12nm
e. none of these.
A person is seated in a swivel chair. The moment of inertia around the swivel point will be about 3.0 kg m2for the person and chair combined. When spinning at 2.0 rad/s, they will be brought to rest by friction in the bearings which applies a net torque whose magnitude is a constant 1.3 n m. How long will it take for them to stop?
0.51 s
4.6s
5.0s
8.7s
none of these.
