A diver comes off a board with arms straight up and legs straight down, giving her a moment of inertia about her rotation axis of 18kgm2. She then tucks into a small ball, decreasing this moment of inertia to 3.6kgm2. While tucked, she makes two complete revolutions in 1.0 s. If she hadn’t tucked at all, how many revolutions would she have made in the 1.5 s from board to water?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Hence, she made revolution in 1.5 s from board to water is 0.60rev.

Step by step solution

01

Conservation of angular momentum.

If a system experience no external torques from the environment, the total angular momentum of the system is conserved.

ΔL→t→=0

Apply the law of conservation of angular momentum to a system whose moment of inertia changes gives:

IiÓ¬i=IfÓ¬f=constant

02

She made revolution from board to water.

Apply conservation of angular momentum to the diver.

The number of revolutions she makes in a certain time is proportional to her angular velocity.

The ratio of her untucked to tucked angular velocity is:

3.618=0.2

If she had tucked, then she made revolution in the last 1.0sas:

23.618=0.4rev

In the last 1.0s, so the revolution made in the total 1.5sis:

0.41.51=0.60rev

Hence, she made revolution in 1.5sis 0.60reV.

A medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of a patient’s artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that it is 1.20×104Pa, while in the region of blockage it is role="math" localid="1668168100834" 1.15×104Pa. Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at 30.0 cm/s, and the specific gravity of this patient’s blood is 1.06. What percentage of the cross-sectional area of the patient’s artery is blocked by the plaque?

In Wagner’s opera Das Rheingold,the goddess Freia is ransomed for a pile of gold just tall enough and wide enough to hide her from sight. Estimate the monetary value of this pile. The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3, and take its value to be about $10 per gram.

For the hydraulic lift shown in Fig. 12.7, what must be the ratio of the diameter of the vessel at the car to the diameter of the vessel where the force F1 is applied so that a 1520-kg car can be lifted with a force F1 of just 125 N?

According to the label on a bottle of salad dressing, the volume of the contents is 0.473 liter (L). Using only the conversions 1 L = 1000 cm3 and 1 in. = 2.54 cm, express this volume in cubic inches.

The following conversions occur frequently in physics and are very useful. (a) Use 1 mi = 5280 ft and 1 h = 3600 s to convert 60 mph to units of ft/s. (b) The acceleration of a freely falling object is 32 ft/s2. Use 1 ft = 30.48 cm to express this acceleration in units of m/s2. (c) The density of water is 1.0 g/cm3. Convert this density to units of kg/m3.
