A professor, with dumbbells in his hands and holding his arms out, is spinning on a turntable with an angular velocity. What happens after he pulls his arms inwards

His angular velocity will increase.

Explanation:

According to the conservation of rotational momentum, the initial angular momentum of a system must be equal to the final angular momentum of the system.

The angular momentum of a system = 'ω'

where

' is the initial rotational inertia

ω' is the initial angular velocity

the rotational inertia =

where m is the mass of the system

and r' is the initial radius of rotation

Note that the professor does not change his position about the axis of rotation, so we are working relative to the dumbbells.

we can see that with the mass of the dumbbells remaining constant, if we reduce the radius of rotation of the dumbbells to r, the rotational inertia will reduce to .

From

'ω' = ω

since is now reduced, ω will be greater than ω'

therefore, the angular velocity increases.

c) up is the direction the magnetic force is acting on the charge.

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19
