Consider a system consisting of three particles:

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

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

Short Answer

Expert verified

The relative kinetic energy is,3038.97 J .

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as,

  • m1=2kg,v→1=(8,-6,15)m/s
  • m2=6kg,v→2=(-12,9,-6)m/s
  • m3=4kg,v→3=(-24,34,23)m/s
02

Significance of angular speed

The expressions of relativistic energy include both rest mass energy and kinetic energy of motion.

03

Determination of the relative kinetic energy

The velocity of each particle is expressed as,

For particle one,

m1=2kg,v→1=(8,-6,15)m/sv→1=(8,-6,15)m/sv→1=(8iÁåœ,-6jÁåœ,15kÁåœ)m/sv→1=82+-62+152m/s=18.2m/s

For particle two,

m2=6kg,v→2=(-12,9,-6)m/sv→2=-12,9,-6m/sv2=-12iÁåœ,9jÁåœ,-6kÁåœm/sv2=-122+92+-62m/s=16.15m/s

For particle third,

m3=4kg,v→3=(-24,34,23)m/sv→3=(-24,34,23)m/sv3=(-24iÁåœ,34jÁåœ,23kÁåœ)m/s=47.55m/s

The total momentum of the system is expressed as,

role="math" localid="1657848421092" P→Total=m1v→1+m2v→2+m3v→3

Here P→Total is the total momentum of the system.

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

role="math" localid="1657848906971" P→Total=2kg×8iÁåœ-6jÁåœ+15kÁåœm/s+6kg×-12iÁåœ+9jÁåœ-6kÁåœm/s+4kg×-24iÁåœ+34jÁåœ-23kÁåœm/s=16iÁåœ-12jÁåœ+30kÁåœkg.m/s+-72iÁåœ+54jÁåœ-36kÁåœkg.m/s+-96iÁåœ+136jÁåœ+92kÁåœkg.m/s=-152iÁåœ+178jÁåœ+86kÁåœkg.m/s

The velocity of center of mass is expressed as,

V→cm=m1v→1+m2v→2+m3v→3m1+m1+m3V→cm=P→cmm1+m1+m3

Here V→cmis the velocity of center of mass of the system.

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

role="math" localid="1657848943249" V→cm=-152iÁåœ+178jÁåœ+86kÁåœkg.m/s2kg+6kg+4kg=-152iÁåœ+178jÁåœ+86kÁåœkg.m/s12kg=12.67iÁåœ+14.83jÁåœ+7.167kÁåœm/s

The relative velocity of each particle is expressed as,

For particle one,

v→rel=v→1-v→cm

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

role="math" localid="1657849216872" v→rel1=8iÁåœ-6jÁåœ+15kÁåœm/s--12.67iÁåœ+14.83jÁåœ+7.167kÁåœm/sv→rel1=20.67iÁåœ-20.83jÁåœ+7.833kÁåœm/sv→rel21=922.49m2/s2v→rel1=30.37m/s

For particle two,

role="math" localid="1657849339830" v→rel2=v→2-v→cm

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

role="math" localid="1657849381663" v→rel2=-12iÁåœ+9jÁåœ-6kÁåœm/s--12.67iÁåœ+14.83jÁåœ+7.167kÁåœm/sv→rel2=0.67iÁåœ-5.83jÁåœ+13.167kÁåœm/sv→rel22=207.8m2/s2v→rel2=14.42m/s

For particle third,

v→rel3=v→3-v→cm

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

v→rel3=-244iÁåœ+34jÁåœ+23kÁåœm/s--12.67iÁåœ+14.83jÁåœ+7.167kÁåœm/sv→rel3=-11.33iÁåœ+19.17jÁåœ+15.833kÁåœm/sv→rel23=746.54m2/s2v→rel3=27.32m/s

The relative kinetic energy to centre of mass is expressed as,

Krel=12m1vrel12+12m2vrel22+12m3vrel32 ..(i)

Substitute all the value in the equation (1).

Krel=12×2kg×30.37m/s2+12×6kg×14.42m/s2+12×4kg×27.32m/s2=3038.97J

Hence the relative kinetic energy is,3038.97 J .

A rod of length Land negligible mass is attached to a uniform disk of mass Mand radius R (Figure 9.64). A string is wrapped around the disk, and you pull on the string with a constant force F . Two small balls each of mass mslide along the rod with negligible friction. The apparatus starts from rest, and when the center of the disk has moved a distance d, a length of string shas come off the disk, and the balls have collided with the ends of the rod and stuck there. The apparatus slides on a nearly frictionless table. Here is a view from above:
