A tight rope walker traverses a wire with the aid of a balancing pole. The moment of inertia of the person about their COG (Iperson) is 15 kg m^2. The moment of inertia of the pole about its COG (Ipole) is 250 kg m^2. As the person falls to one side, the pole imparts a CW restoring torque of ‐40 Nm on the person. What is the angular acceleration of the pole?

a. 0.16 rad/s^2
b. 2.67 rad/s^2
c. ‐2.67 rad/s^2
d. ‐0.16 rad/s^2

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.

the answer is ampere

the ampere is used to measure electricity. an ampere is a unit of electric current equal. a unit of measure for the flow of current in a circuit. one ampere is the amount of current flow provided when one volt of electrical pressure is applied against one ohm of resistance.
