Multiple Choice
Multiple ChoiceTwo astronauts, both 80 kg, are connected in space by a light cable. When they are 10 m apart, they spin about their center of mass with 6 rad/s. Calculate the new angular speed they'll have if they pull on the rope to reduce their distance to 5 m. You may treat them as point masses, and assume they continue to spin around their center of mass.
A
ωf = 1.5 rad/s
B
ωf = 4 rad/s
C
ωf = 6 rad/s
D
ωf = 24 rad/s
