a figures skater rotating at 5 rads with arms extended has a moment of inertia of 2.25 kg. if the arms are pulled in so the moment of inertia decrease to 1.8 what is the final angular speed

The final angular speed is 6.25 rad/s

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular speed, ω₁ = 5 rad/s

initial moment of inertia, I₁ = 2.25 kg.m²

Final moment of inertia, I₂ = 1.8 kg.m²

final angular speed, ω₂ = ?

Based on conservation of angular momentum, we will have the following expression;

ω₁I₁ = ω₂I₂

ω₂ = (ω₁I₁ ) / I₂

ω₂ = (5 x 2.25) / 1.8

ω₂ = 6.25 rad/s

Therefore, the final angular speed is 6.25 rad/s

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
