According to the official Bartleby guidelines, I am alowed to have up to two subquestion! 1) When an ice-skater spins and increases her rotation rate by pulling her arms and leg in, what happens to her kinetic energy? It stays the same. It increases. It decreases. a) A 0.400 kg mass, sitting on a horizontal frictionless surface, is attached to the end of a 0.750 m string. It is whirled around in a circular horizontal path. If the maximum tension that the string can withstand is 450 N, then what maximum velocity can the mass have if the string is not to break? 375 m/s 22.4 m/s 19.4 m/s 29.0 m/s b) A grinding wheel with a moment of inertia of 2 kg-m 2 has a 2.50 N-m torque applied to it.

Table A This system has often been described as a mini solar system. Why might this be so? If Jupiter were to represent the Sun and the Galilean moons represented planets, which moons could be considered more terrestrial in nature and which ones more like gas/ice giants? Why?

- Please explain in full detail as I am trying to understand this concept! thank you! a. Sketch a diagram including Earth, Sun, and Mars, with attention to scale of distance (Mars is about 1.5 AU from the Sun) showing a faster trajectory from Earth to Mars than the minimal energy trajectory discussed in the lecture. b. Without doing a calculation, how would the arrival velocity of the spacecraft at Mars for the case in (a) compare to the spacecraft arrival in the class example? The lecture example had the spacecraft arriving at Mars with a velocity of 22.49 km/sec. c. The average velocity of Mars in orbit around the Sun is 24.08 km/sec. Comment on the trade-offs between trajectories, arrival velocities and velocity changes (delta V) required to enter an orbit around Mars.arrow_forwardPlease show your solution and at the same time BOX the answers that corresponds to each blank on the question.
