A large wooden turntable in the shape of a flat uniform disk has a radius of 2.00mand a total mass of 120kg. The turn-table is initially rotating at about a vertical axis through its center. Suddenly, a70.0kgparachutist makes a soft landing on the turntable at a point near the outer edge. (a) Find the angular speed of the turntable after the parachutist lands. (Assume that you can treat the parachutist as a particle.) (b) Compute the kinetic energy of the system before and after the parachutist lands. Why are these kinetic energies not equal?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) the final angular speed is 1.89rad/s.

(b) the kinetic energy before the parachutist lands is 2160Jand the kinetic energy after the parachutist lands is 1357.39J.

Step by step solution

01

Given in the question.

Mass of parachutists after landing is M=70.0kg.

Mass of table is m=120kg.

The radius of the table is r=2.00m.

The angular velocity of the table is =3rad/s.

02

Conservation of angular momentum.

The law of conservation of angular momentum means that the angular momentum of a rotating object does not change unless some type of external torque is applied to it.

03

(a) Moment of inertia of the parachutist.

The moment of inertia of the turntable calculated as follows:

Ii=mr2=120kg2m2=480kg.m2

04

Moment of inertia after parachutist lands.

The moment of inertia after parachutist is solved as:

If=M+mr2=120+70kg2m2=760kg.m2

05

Use conservation of angular momentum.

Use the conservation of angular momentum to obtain angular speed:

Iii=Iff480kg.m23rad/s=760kg.m2ff=480kg.m23rad/s760kg.m2f=1.89rad/s

Hence, the final angular speed is 1.89rad/s.

06

(b) Kinetic energy before and after parachutist lands.

The speed of the turntable after the landing is calculated as follows:

vi=r=2m1.89rad/s=3.78m/s

The speed of the turntable before the landing is calculated as follows:

vi=r=2m3.0rad/s=6.0m/s

The kinetic energy after parachutist lands:

KEf=12mvf2=12190kg3.78m/s2=1357.39J

Thus, the kinetic energy after parachutist lands is 1357.39J.

The kinetic energy before the parachutist lands is

KEi=12mvi2=12120kg6m/s2=2160J

Thus, the kinetic energy after parachutist lands is 2160J.

Hence, the kinetic energy before parachutist lands and after parachutist land is not same because the angular speed changes.

A medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of a patient鈥檚 artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that it is 1.20104Pa, while in the region of blockage it is role="math" localid="1668168100834" 1.15104Pa. Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at 30.0 cm/s, and the specific gravity of this patient鈥檚 blood is 1.06. What percentage of the cross-sectional area of the patient鈥檚 artery is blocked by the plaque?
