Torque and Rotational Motion
What impact coding practice should you follow when creating code that includes sensitive information?
Exclude encryption entirely provided access control measures are strong.
Encrypt data using industry-standard algorithms and secure keys.
Store data using reversible encryption methods for convenience
Use proprietary encryption techniques exclusive to your team for security through obscurity
When do you use conservation of angular momentum principles?
During calculations involving thermodynamics
While analyzing collisions in linear motion
When calculating gravitational potential energy
During situations where no external torques are applied
If two identical ice skaters initially at rest push off one another on frictionless ice, how do their final rotational speeds compare?
One skater has twice the rotational speed as the other.
One skater does not rotate while only the other one rotates.
They have equal but opposite rotational speeds.
They both have zero rotational speed after pushing off against each other.
When an ice skater pulls her arms closer to her body while spinning, what happens to her rotational speed?
Her rotational speed decreases.
Her rotational speed stays the same.
Her rotational speed increases.
She stops spinning altogether.
If the moment of inertia for a rotating object were to double due to an increase in the mass distribution radius, while angular velocity remains constant, how would the new angular momentum compare to the original?
The new angular momentum would be doubled.
The new angular momentum would be quadrupled.
The new angular momentum would be unchanged.
The new angular momentum would be halved.
What happens to the angular momentum of a system when an external torque is applied?
It always increases regardless of the torque's direction
It always decreases regardless of the torque's direction
It may change depending on the strength and direction of the torque
It remains constant despite the application of torque
In an isolated system where two ice skaters initially hold hands while spinning with individual counterclockwise rotations before letting go, what will happen after release given equal masses and initial velocities?
They start spinning clockwise because releasing hands imparts an opposite reaction force.
They continue spinning counterclockwise with unchanged individual angular velocities since no net external torque acts on them.
They spin faster counterclockwise due to decreased moments of inertia when separated.
They come to rest because their rotations cancel each other out upon release.

What must remain conserved when an ice dancer performs a pirouette without any external forces or torques acting upon them?
Centripetal force
Linear velocity
Angular momentum
Kinetic energy
A figure skater spins faster when she pulls her arms in because it...
Decreases the friction between her skates and the ice.
Increases the torque applied to her by the ice.
Decreases her moment of inertia and conserves angular momentum.
Increases the gravitational force acting on her.
A student builds a track for a toy car to go around a curve. If the student doubles the velocity of the car, what happens to the acceleration of the car if the radius is to remain unchanged?
Remains the same
Quadruples
Doubles
Halves
