An ice skater has a moment of inertia of 5. 0 kg∙m2 when her arms are outstretched. At this time she is spinning at 3. 0 revolutions per second (rps). If she pulls in her arms and decreases her moment of inertia to 2. 0 kg∙m2, how fast will she be spinning?.

2440.24 J

Explanation:

Moment of inertia, I1 = 5 kg m^2

frequency, f1 = 3 rps

ω1 = 2 x π x f1 = 2 x π x 3 = 6 π rad/s

Moment of inertia, I2 = 2 kg m^2

Let the new frequency is f2.

ω2 = 2 x π x f2

here no external torque is applied, so the angular momentum remains constant.

I1 x ω1 = I2 x ω2

5 x 6 π = 2 x 2 x π x f2

f2 = 7.5 rps

ω2 = 2 x π x 7.5 = 15 π

Initial kinetic energy, K1 = 1/2 x I1 x ω1^2 = 0.5 x 5 x (6 π)² = 887.36 J

Final kinetic energy, K2 = 1/2 x I2 x ω2^2 = 0.5 x 3 x (15 π)² = 3327.6 J

Work done, W = Change in kinetic energy = 3327.6 - 887.36 = 2440.24 J

basically anything for school but for getting t=into clubs or doing any legal things well it actually depends on what legal thing your doing but definitely not for drinking or going to the club or other things like that.
