Chapter 7, Problem 29MCQ
Questions 25 through 27 concern a classic figure-skating jump called the axel. A skater starts the jump moving forward as shown in Figure Q7.25, leaps into the air, and turns one-and-a-half revolutions before landing. The typical skater is in the air for about 0.5 s, and the skater’s hands are located about 0.8 m from the rotation axis.
27. What is the approximate speed of the skater’s hand?
A. 1 m/s
B. 3 m/s
C. 9 m/s
D. 15 m/s
