Question

can someone plz go help me answer my question? I have to ask twice bc no one answered it the first time. a figure skater can increase her spin rotation rate from an initial rate of 1.0 rev every 1.5s to a final rate of 2.5rev/s. If her initial moment of inertia was 4.6kgxm^2, what is her final moment of inertia?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.2 kg m²

Explanation:

Angular momentum is conserved:

L = L

Iω = Iω

(4.6 kg m²) (1.0 rev / 1.5 s) = I (2.5 rev/s)

I = 1.2 kg m²
