His moment of inertia is 1.8kgm2 while his arms are extended, and he is spinning at 0.5 rev/s. If he launches himself into the air at 9.0 m/s at an angle of 45 with respect to the ice, how many revolutions can he execute while airborne if his moment of inertia in the air is 0.5kgm2 ?arrow_forwardIf a child walks toward the center of a merry-go-round, does the moment of inertia increase or decrease?arrow_forward

She achieved a record 342 rev/min, beating the existing Guinness World Record by 34 rotations. If an ice skater extends her aims at that rotation rate, what would be her new rotation rate? Assume she can be approximated by a 45-kg rod that is 1.7 m tall with a radius of 15 cm in the record spin. With her aims stretched take the approximation of a rod of length 130 cm with 10 of her body mass aligned perpendicular to the spin axis.
