A man stands on a platform that is rotating at 3.8 rpm; his arms are outstretched and he holds a brick in each hand. The rotational inertia of the system consisting of the man, bricks, and platform about the central axis of the platform is 4.65 kg-m². By moving the bricks the man decreases the rotational inertia of the system to 3.4 kg-m².
(a) what is the resulting angular speed of the platform and
(b) what is the ratio of the new kinetic energy of the system to the original kinetic energy?

Water is siphoned from a large tank and discharges into the atmosphere through a 50-mm diameter tube. the end of the tube is b = 2.6 m below the tank bottom which is a = 6.7 m deep, and viscous effects are negligible. determine the maximum height h over which the water can be siphoned without cavitation occurring. atmospheric pressure is 101.4 kpa, and the water vapor pressure is 1.79 kpa (absolute). report your answer in meters to two decimal places.

During the apollo moon missions, astronauts were concerned about the effects of newton's third law of motion when: o a. they ejected waste water, because they were concerned that it would push them off course. o b. they reentered earth's atmosphere, because they were carrying heavy moon rocks. o c. they took off from earth, because a large force was required to generate large acceleration. o d. they detected incoming space debris, because the inertia of the debris could damage their ship.
