Chapter 9: 875865-9-7 Q (page 377)

Two people with different masses but equal speeds slide toward each other with little friction on ice with their arms extended straight out to the slide (so each has the shape of a 鈥�I鈥�). Her right hand meets his right hand, they hold hands and spin 90掳, then release their holds and slide away. Make a rough sketch of the path of the center of mass of the system consisting of the two people, and explain briefly. (It helps to mark equal time intervals along the paths of the two people and of their center of mass.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The velocity of the center of mass of the system is'v'm/s

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

  • The mass of the first person ism1
  • The mass of the second person is m2
  • The speed of both persons is v
02

Concept of the center of mass of the system

The center of mass of the system is calculated by considering the average positions of all the objects acting in the system.

03

Calculation of the velocity of the center of mass of the system

The velocity of the center of mass of the system

VCM=m1v1+m2v2m1+m2=m1v+m2vm1+m2=v.m1+m2m1+m2=v

Hence, the velocity of the center of mass of the system is 'v'm/s

04

Drawing the rough sketch of the path of the center of mass of the system

This is the rough sketch of the path of the center of mass of the system consisting of the two people.

Consider a system consisting of three particles:

m1=2kg,v鈫�1=(8,-6,15)m/sm2=6kg,v鈫�2=(-12,9,-6)m/sm3=4kg,v鈫�3=(-24,34,23)m/s

What isKrel, the kinetic energy of this system relative to the centre of mass?

A string is wrapped around a uniform disk of mass M and radius R. Attached to the disk are four low-mass rods of radius b, each with a small mass m at the end (Figure 9.63).

The apparatus is initially at rest on a nearly frictionless surface. Then you pull the string with a constant force F. At the instant when the center of the disk has moved a distance d, an additional length w of string has unwound off the disk. (a) At this instant, what is the speed of the center of the apparatus? Explain your approach. (b) At this instant, what is the angular speed of the apparatus? Explain your approach.

Agroup of particles of total mass 35kghas a total kinetic energy of 340J. The kinetic energy relative to the center of mass is 85J. What is the speed of the center of mass?

You pull straight up on the string of a yo-yo with a force 0.235 N, and while your hand is moving up a distance 0.18 m, the yo-yo moves down a distance 0.70 m. The mass of the yo-yo is 0.025 kg, and it was initially moving downward with speed 0.5 m/s and angular speed 124 rad/s. (a) What is the increase in the translational kinetic energy of the yo-yo? (b) What is the new speed of the yo-yo? (c) What is the increase in the rotational kinetic energy of the yo-yo? (d) The yo-yo is approximately a uniform-density disk of radius 0.02 m. What is the new angular speed of the yo-yo?

A thin uniform-density rod whose mass is 1.2kg and whose length is 0.7mrotates around an axis perpendicular to the rod, with angular speed 50radians/s. Its center moves with a speed of 8m/s.

(a) What is its rotational kinetic energy?

(b) What is its total kinetic energy?
