Step by step solution

01

Definition of law of conservation of momentum.

Conservation of momentum, general law of physics according to which the quantity called momentum that characterizes motion never changes in an isolated collection of objects.

Use the law of conservation of momentum and the formula for the moment of inertia of the rod. The moment of inertia of the rod with respect to its center is as follows:

I=121ML2

Here, Mis the mass of the rod andLis the length of the rod.

The motion of the meteorite is shown in the following figure:

In the figure, mis the mass of the meteorite, dis the distance from the center of the rod to the point of application of velocity, Lis the length of the rod, andMis the mass of the rod.

02

Find the velocity of the center of mass of the rod.

  1. Calculate the center of mass of the rod after the collision as follows:

Apply the law of conservation of momentum along the horizontal as follows:

mvicosθi=-mvfcosθf+MVx,cm

HereVx,cmis the center of mass of the rod alongx-direction.

Rearrange the equation for the velocity of the center of mass of the rod.

Vx,cm=mvicosθi+mvfcosθfM

Substitute200m/sforvi,60m/sforvf,0.06kgfor m,1.3kgforM,26°for θi,and 82°forθf in the equation Vx,cm=mvicosθi+mvfcosθfMand solve for Vx,cm.

Vcm=(0.06kg)(200m/s)cos26°+(0.06kg)(60m/s)cos82°1.3kg

=8.68m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the center of mass of the rod along horizontal is 8.68m/s.

03

Find the magnitude of the center of mass of the rod.

Apply the law of conservation of momentum along the vertical as follows:

mvisinθi=mvf+MVfsinθf+MVy,cm

HereVy,cmis the center of mass of the rod alongy-direction.

Rearrange the equation for the velocity of the center of mass of the rod.

Vy,cm=mvisinθi-mvfsinθfM

Substitute 200m/sforvi,60m/s forvf,0.06kgform,1.3kgforM,26°for θi,and82°forθfin the equation Vy,cm=mvisinθi-mvfsinθfMand solve for Vy,cm

Vy,cm=(0.06kg)(200m/s)sin26°-(0.06kg)(60m/s)sin82°1.3kg

=1.3m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the center of mass of the rod along vertical is 1.3m/s.

Therefore, the center of mass of the rod is8.68m/s,1.3m/s,0m/s

The magnitude of center of mass of the rod is as follows:

Vcm=(8.68m/s)2+(1.3m/s)2+(0m/s)2=8.78m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of the center of mass of the rod is 8.78m/s.

04

Find the angular velocity of the rod.

b. Apply law of conservation of angular momentum.

Li=Lf

(mvicosθi)d=-(mvfcosθf)d+IӬ(mvicosθi)d=-(mvfcosθf)d+IӬ

HereIis the moment of inertia of the rod and is the angular velocity.

Substitute112ML2for(mvicosθi)d=-(mvfcosθf)d+IӬin the equation

mvicosθid=-mdvfcosθf+112ML2Ӭmvicosθid=-mdvfcosθf+112ML2Ӭ

Rearrange the equation for the angular velocity.

Ӭ=md(vicosθi+vfcosθf)112ML2

Substitute 0.4mforL,0.2mford,200m/sfor vi,60m/sforvf,0.06kgform,1.3kgfor M,26°for θi,and 82°for θf.

Ӭ=(0.06kg)(0.2m)((200m/s)cos26°+(60m/s)cos82°)112(1.3kg)(0.4m)2

Ӭ=(0.06kg)(0.2m)((200m/s)cos26°+(60m/s)cos82°)112(1.3kg)(0.4m)2

=130rad/s

Therefore, the angular velocity of the rod is130rad/s.

05

Find the internal kinetic energy of the system.

(c) Calculate the kinetic energy is of the system before collision as follows:

Initially the rod is in rest. So, initial kinetic of the rod is zero.

Ki=12mvi2

Calculate the kinetic energy is of the system before collision as follows:

Kf=12mvf2+12IÓ¬2+12MVcm2

Calculate the increase in internal energy as follows:

The expression for the change in internal energy is as follows:

ΔE=Ki-KfΔE=12mvi2-12mvf2-12IӬ2-12MVcm2

Substitute 112ML2for in the equation ΔE=12mvi2-12mvf2-12IӬ2-12MVcm2and solve for ΔE.

ΔE=12m(vi2-vf2)-12112ML2Ӭ2-12MVcm2

Substitute 0.4mforL,200m/sforv1,60m/sforvf,0.06kgfor m,1.3kgfor M,8.78m/sforVcm,and 130rad/s forÓ¬in the equation

ΔE=12m(vi2-vf2)-12112ML2Ӭ2-12MVcm2and solve forΔE.

ΔE=0.06kg2(200m/s2-(60m/s)2-12112(1.3kg)(0.4m)2(130rad/s)2-12(1.3kg)(8.68m/s2+(1.3m/s)2

=895.46J≈895.5J

Therefore, the increase in internal kinetic energy of the system is 803J.

A stationary bicycle wheel of radius 0.9mis mounted in the vertical plane (figure). The axle is held up by supports that are not shown, and the wheel is free to rotate on the nearly frictionless axle. The wheel has mass all 4.8kgconcentrated in the rim (the spokes have negligible mass). A lump of clay with mass 0.5kgfalls and sticks to the outer edge of the wheel at the location shown. Just before the impact the clay has speed 5m/sand the wheel is rotating clockwise with angular speed0.33rad/s.

(a) Just before the impact, what is the angular momentum (magnitude and direction) of the combined system of wheel plus clay about the center C? (As usual, is to the right, is up, and is out of the screen, towards you) (b) Just after the impact, what is the angular momentum (magnitude and direction) of the combined system of wheel plus clay about the center C? (c) Just after the impact, what is the angular velocity (magnitude and direction) of the wheel? (d) Qualitatively, what happens to the linear momentum of the combined system? Why? (1) The downward linear momentum decreases because the axle exerts into angular momentum. (3) some of the linear momentum is changed into energy. (4) There is no change because linear momentum is always conserved.

In Figure 11.95 two small objects each of mass \({m_1}\)are connected by a light weight rod of length \(L.\) At a particular instant the center of mass speed is\({v_1}\) as shown, and the object is rotating counterclockwise with angular speed \({\omega _1}\). A small object of mass \({m_2}\) travelling with speed \({v_2}\) collides with the rod at an angle \({\theta _2}\) as shown, at a distance\(b\)from the center of the rod. After being truck, the mass \({m_2}\) is observed to move with speed \({v_4}\) at angle\({\theta _4}\).All the quantities are positive magnitudes. This all takes place in outer space.

For the object consisting of the rod with the two masses, write equations that, in principle, could be solved for the center of mass speed \({v_3},\) direction \({\theta _3},\) and angular speed \({\omega _3}\)in terms of the given quantities. Sates clearly what physical principles you use to obtain your equations.

Don’t attempt to solve the equations; just set them up.
