QUESTION:

Unreasonable Results A gymnast doing a forward flip lands on the mat and exerts a \(\text{500-N} \cdot \mathrm m\) torque to slow and then reverse her angular velocity. Her initial angular velocity is 10.0 rad/s, and her moment of inertia is \(\mathrm{0.050 ~kg \cdot m^2}\). (a) What time is required for her to exactly reverse her spin? (b) What is unreasonable about the result? (c) Which premises are unreasonable or inconsistent?
