[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:
What is the angular momentum of a figure skater spinning at
3.4 rev/s with arms in close to her body, assuming her to be a
uniform cylinder with a height of 1.4 m , a radius of 15 cm , and a
mass of 48 kg ?
**Express your answer using three significant figures and
include the appropriate units
B:
How much torque is required to slow her to a stop in 4.5 s ,
assuming she does not...

A female figure skater is spinning on ice. Assume that that the
surface is basically frictionless. The skater is wearing weighted
bracelets as part of the costume for the performance. These
weighted bracelets weight .75 kg each. The skater has a spinning
routine in the middle of the performance and initially starts
spinning with arms stretched wide such that the weighted bracelets
are 1 m from the axis of rotation. She has an initial angular
velocity...
An ice skater has a moment of inertia of 5.0 kg•m2
when her arms are outstretched. If she pulls in her arms and
decreases her moment of inertia to 2.0 kg•m2, she will
be spinning at 7.5 rps. How fast is she spinning initially? Report
your answer in revolutions per second (rps).
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?
A figure skater presses off the ice to begin spinning with her
arms close to her body. After completing 2 turns in 0.8 seconds she
moves her arms further away from her body, what will her new
angular velocity be?
a. <16.6 rad/s
B. 18 rad/s
C. 20 rad/s
D. 24 rad/s
Batsheva sits on a spinning stool with her arms folded. What
happens to her angular velocity if she
does not move her body and the stool spins without friction

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...

A zero-momentum spin stabilized satellite has a momentum wheel
spinning at 5000 rpm. The angular momentum of the wheel is 100
N-m-sec.
a) What is the spin rate of the satellite if its moment of
inertia is 500 kg-m2?
b) What is the moment of inertial of the wheel?
c) If there were a problem with the wheel and it was stopped,
what would be the spin rate of the satellite?
d) Assuming the problem was fixed, how long would...
