A uniform 4.5kg, square, solid wooden gate 1.5mon each side hangs vertically from a frictionless pivot at the center of its upper edge. A 1.1kgraven flying horizontally at5.0m/sflies into this door at its center and bounces back at 2.0m/sin the opposite direction. (a) What is the angular speed of the gate just after it is struck by the unfortunate raven? (b) During the collision, why is the angular momentum conserved but not the linear momentum?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The angular speed of the gate will be Ó¬=1.71rad/s.

(b) Along the pivot there is no external torques so angular momentum will be conserved but horizontally an external force on the system gets applied by the pivot hence the linear momentum is not conserved.

Step by step solution

01

Angular momentum and conservation of angular momentum

For any moving body the ratio of the angular momentum with the angular velocity is known as the moment of inertia.

And conservation of angular momentum shows relation between moment of inertia and angular velocity.

I=13ML2I1Ó¬1=I2Ó¬2

Here I are the moment of inertia, Mis the mass of the object, L angular momentum, I1is the moment of inertia for the first object, Ó¬1is the angular velocity of the first object, I2is the moment of inertia for the second object,Ó¬2 is the angular velocity for the second object respectively.

02

Given data

Weight of gate, M=4.5Kg

Sides of the gate, L=1.5m

Weight of raven, m=1.1Kg

The horizontal speed of raven, v1=5.0m/s

Bounce back speed of raven in opposite direction, v2=2.0m/s

03

(a) Angular speed of the gate

From the conservation of angular momentum,

I1Ó¬1=I2Ó¬2mv1â„“+mN2â„“=13ML2Ó¬Ó¬=mv1+v2â„“13ML2Withâ„“=L/2:Ó¬=3mv1+v22ML

Here, m is the mass of object first, vis the mass of object second, V1is the initial velocity of bar, V2is the final velocity of collision, â„“is the distance between the objects, and Ó¬is the angular momentum of the object respectively.

On putting values and solving it further,

Ӭ=3mv1+v22ML=3(1.1Kg)(5.0m/s+2.0m/s)2(4.5Kg)(1.5m)∣=1.71rad/s

Hence, the angular speed of the gate will be Ó¬=1.71rad/s.

(b) Conservation of angular moment and linear momentum

Along the pivot there is no external torques so angular momentum will be conserved but horizontally an external force on the system get applied by the pivot hence the linear momentum is not conserved.

A swimming pool is 5.0 m long, 4.0 m wide, and 3.0 m deep. Compute the force exerted by the water against (a) the bottom and (b) either end. (Hint: Calculate the force on a thin, horizontal strip at a depth h, and integrate this over the end of the pool.) Do not include the force due to air pressure.

(b) How much time elapses fromwhen the rock is thrown until it hits the street?
