The angularmomental(t). of a particle in four situations are (1)l=3t+4(2)l=-6t2(3l=2(4)l=4/tIn which situation is the net torque on the particle (a) zero, (b) positive and constant, (c) negative and increasing in magnitude (t>0), and (d) negative and decreasing in magnitude (t>0)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) In the third situation net torque is zero

(b) In the first situation net torque is positive and constant

(c) In the second situation net torque is negative and increasing

(d) In the fourth situation net torque is negative and decreasing

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given data

Angular momenta are,

  1. l=3t+4,
  2. l=−6t2,
  3. l=2,
  4. .l=4/t
02

Understanding the concept of angular momentum

Torque is the rate of change of angular momentum (l). By taking the derivative of l, we find the net torque for a given situation.

Formulae are as follows:

Ï„=dldt

03

(a) Determining the situation when net torque is zero

Now, calculate for the first situation l=3t+4:

Ï„=dldt=d(3t+4)dt=3

So, the net torque is positive and constant.

04

(b) Determining the situation when net torque is positive and constant

Now, calculatefor the second situationl=−6t2:

d(−6t2)dt=−12t

So, the net torque is negative and increasing.

05

(c) Determining the situation when net torque is negative and increasing

Now, calculatethe third situationl=2 :

Ï„=d(2)dt=0

So, the net torque is zero.

06

(d) Determining the situation when net torque is negative and decreasing

Now, calculate for the fourthsituationl=4/t:

.τ=d(4t)dt=−4t−2

So, the net torque is negative and decreasing magnitude.

Therefore, find the net torque by taking the time derivative of the given angular momenta.

Then determine whether the torque is positive, negative, constant increasing or decreasing, or zero.

A uniform thin rod of length0.500m and mass4.00kg can rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its centre. The rod is at rest when a3.00gbullet travelling in the rotation plane is fired into one end of the rod. As viewed from above, the bullet’s path makes angleθ=60.0°with the rod (Figure). If the bullet lodges in the rod and the angular velocity of the rod is10rad/simmediately after the collision, what is the bullet’s speed just before impact?

A girl of mass Mstands on the rim of a frictionless merry-go-round of radius Rand rotational inertia Ithat is not moving. She throws a rock of mass mhorizontally in a direction that is tangent to the outer edge of the merry-go-round. The speed of the rock, relative to the ground, is v. Afterward, what are (a) the angular speed of the merry-go-round and (b) the linear speed of the girl?

A track is mounted on a large wheel that is free to turn with negligible friction about a vertical axis (Figure). A toy train of mass mis placed on the track and, with the system initially at rest, the train’s electrical power is turned on. The train reaches speed0.15m/swith respect to the track. What is the angular speed of the wheel if its mass is1.1mand its radius is0.43m?(Treat the wheel as a hoop, and neglect the mass of the spokes and hub.)

During a jump to his partner, an aerialist is to make a quadruple somersault lasting a time t=1.87s.For the first and last quarter-revolution, he is in the extended orientation shown in Figure, with rotational inertiaI1=19.9kg.m2.around his center of mass (the dot). During the rest of the flight he is in a tight tuck, with rotational inertiaI2=3.93kg.m2.What must be his angular speedv2around his center of mass during the tuck?

A man stands on a platform that is rotating (without friction) with an angular speed of 1.2rev/s;his arms are outstretched and he holds a brick in each hand. The rotational inertia of the system consisting of the man, bricks, and platform about the central vertical axis of the platform is localid="1660979279335" 6.0kg.m2.If by moving the bricks the man decreases the rotational inertia of the system to 2.0 kg.m2.

(a) What are the resulting angular speed of the platform?

(b) What is the ratio of the new kinetic energy of the system to the original kinetic energy?

(c) What source provided the added kinetic energy?
