A women with mass 50kgis standing on the rim of a large disk that is rotating at 0.80rev/sabout an axis through its center. The disk has mass 110kgand radius 4.0m. Calculate the magnitude of the total angular momentum of the woman-disk system. (Assume that you can treat the woman as a point.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the angular momentum for the women-disk system is 8433.6kgm2/s.

Step by step solution

01

Given in the question.

The mass of the woman ism=50kg.

The angular speed of the rim is as follows:

localid="1667976336551" Ӭ=0.80rev/s=0.80rev/s×2πrad1=5.02rad/s

The mass of the disk is md=110kg.

The radius of the disk is rd=4.0m.

02

Conservation of angular momentum.

The law of conservation of angular momentum states that the product of moment of inertial and the angular velocity of a system remains constant.

IiÓ¬i=IfÓ¬f=constant

03

The moment of inertia of the disk

The disk has a moment of inertial which is given as-

ID=12mr2=12×110kg×4m2=880kgm2

Thus, disk’s moment of inertial is880kgm2.

04

The moment of inertia of the woman.

The woman’s moment of inertia is given as:

IӬ=mr2=50kg×4m2=800kgm2

Thus, the women’s moment of inertia is 800kgm2.

05

The moment of inertia of the system (the woman + the large disk).

The moment of inertia of the system is solved as follows:

It=ID+IÓ¬=800kgm2+880kgm2=1680kgm2

The angular momentum can be obtained as follows:

L=ItӬ=1680kgm2×5.02m/s=8433.6kgm2/s

Thus, for the woman-disk system, the angular momentum is 8433.6kgm2/s.

Question- Neptunium. In the fall of 2002, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory determined that the critical mass of neptunium-237 is about 60 kg. The critical mass of a fissionable material is the minimum amount that must be brought together to start a nuclear chain reaction. Neptunium-237 has a density of 19.5 g/cm3. What would be the radius of a sphere of this material that has a critical mass?

Starting from the front door of a ranch house, you walk 60.0 m due east to a windmill, turn around, and then slowly walk 40.0 m west to a bench, where you sit and watch the sunrise. It takes you 28.0 s to walk from the house to the windmill and then 36.0 s to walk from the windmill to the bench. For the entire trip from the front door to the bench, what are your (a) average velocity and (b) average speed?
