Question
Problem 26MCQ
A 24 g, 3-cm-diameter thin, hollow sphere rotates at 30 rpm about a vertical, frictionless axis through its center. A4 g bug stands at the top of the sphere. He then walks along the surface of the sphere until he reaches its “equator.” When he reaches the equator, the sphere is rotating at
A. 15 rpm
B. 24 rpm
C. 30 rpm
D. 37 rpm
E. 45 rpm
Solution
The first step in solving 9 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 26MCQA 24 g, 3-cm-diameter thin, hollow sphere rotates at 30 rpm about a vertical, frictionless axis through its center. A4 g bug stands at the top of the sphere. He then walks along the surface of the sphere until he reaches its “equator.” When he reaches the equator, the sphere is rotating atA. 15 rpmB. 24 rpmC. 30 rpmD. 37 rpmE. 45 rpm
From the textbook chapter Momentum you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
