Figure shows an overhead view of a ring that can rotate about its centre like a merry- go-round. Its outer radius R2isrole="math" localid="1660990374636" 0.800m, its inner radiusR1 isR2/2.00, its massM is8.00kg, and the mass of the crossbars at its centre is negligible. It initially rotates at an angular speed of 8.00 rad/s with a cat of massm=M/4.00on its outer edge, at radiusR2. By how much does the cat increase the kinetic energy of the cat ring system if the cat crawls to the inner edge, at radius?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Increase in kinetic energy is,Δ°­·¡=39.2´³â€‰â¶Ä‰.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

R2=0.8mÓ¬i=8rad/sR1=R2/2m1=m2/4

Where, R is radius, Ó¬i is angular frequency and m is mass.

02

Determining the concept

Calculate the angular speed by applying law of conservation of angular momentum. Using the formula for kinetic energy, find the kinetic energy and the difference in kinetic energy. According tothe conservation of momentum, momentum of a system is constant if no external forces are acting on the system.

Formula is as follow:

Initialangularmomentum=Finalangularmomentum

03

Determining how much does the cat increase the kinetic energy of the cat-ring system

According to the law of conservation of angular momentum,

Initialangularmomentum=Finalangularmomentum

L1=L2I1Ó¬1=I2Ó¬2m1R22+12m2(R12+R22)Ó¬1=m1R12+12m2(R12+R22)Ó¬1

By simplifying above equation,

Ӭ2Ӭ1=R2R121+0.5m2m1×R1R22+11+0.5m2m1×R2R12+1Ӭ2Ӭ1=(2)21+2(0.25+1)1+2(4+1)Ӭ2Ӭ1=1.273Ӭ2=8×1.273=10.184rad/s

I1=m1R22+12×m2(R12+R22)I1=(2×0.82+12×8×(0.82+0.42)=4.48kg.m2I2=m1R12+12×m2(R12+R22)I2=2×0.42+12×8×(0.82+0.42)=3.52kg.m2

IncreaseinKE=Δ°­·¡=KE2−KE1

Δ°­·¡=12×I2×Ӭ22−12×I1×Ӭ12

Δ°­·¡=12×3.52×10.1842−12×4.48×82

Hence, the increase in the kinetic energy is 39.176J≈39.2J.

Therefore, using the law of conservation of angular momentum and formula for kinetic energy, the difference in the kinetic energy can be found.
