In Figure, a 30kg child stands on the edge of a stationary merry-go-round of radius2.0mthe rotational inertia of the merry-go-round about its rotation axis is150kg.m2.the child catches a ball of mass1.0kg.thrown by a friend. Just before the ball is caught, it has a horizontal velocityv→of magnitude12m/s, at angleφ=37°with a line tangent to the outer edge of the merry-go-round, as shown. What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round just after the ball is caught?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The angular speed of merry-go-round is Ó¬=0.07rad/s.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

Im=150kg.m2r=2mϕ=370

02

Determining the concept

Firstly, find the unknown speed using the law of conservation of angular momentum. According tothe conservation of momentum, momentum of a system is constant if no external forces are acting on the system.

Formula are as follow:

L=mvr.²õ¾±²Ôθ

where,m is mass, v is velocity, L is angular momentum and r is radius.

03

Determining the angular speed of merry-go-round

According to law of conservation of angular momentum:

Initialangularmomentum=Finalangularmomentum

Li=LfLi=mvrsin(90−ϕ)

sin(90−ϕ)=³¦´Ç²õÏ•

Li=mvr³¦´Ç²õÏ•

Li=1×12×2×cos(370)=19.17kg.m2/sLf=IӬLf=(150+30×22+1×22)ӬLi=274×Ӭ

Hence,

19.17=274×ӬӬ=0.07rad/s

Hence,the angular speed of merry-go-round is Ó¬=0.07rad/s.

Therefore, using the law conservation of angular momentum, the unknown angular speed can be calculated.
