A 55-kg runner runs around the edge of a horizontal turntable mounted on a vertical, frictionless axis through its center. The runner’s velocity relative to the earth has magnitude 2.8 m/s. The turntable is rotating in the opposite direction with an angular velocity of magnitude 0.20 rad/s relative to the earth. The radius of the turntable is 3.0 m, and its moment of inertia about the axis of rotation is80kgm2. Find the final angular velocity of the system if the runner comes to rest relative to the turntable. (You can model the runner as a particle.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required angular velocity of the system is Ó¬'=0.776rad/s2.

Step by step solution

01

Angular momentum of the system

It is given that the mass of the person as m=55kg, runners speed relative to the earth as vf=2.8m/s, angular velocity of the turntable as Ó¬=0.20rad/s, radius of the turntable as r=3.0m and the moment of inertia asI=80kgm2 .

02

Concept

By the conservation of angular momentum, Li=Lf. The initial angular momentum due to the person and the turntable is Li=mrvr-IÓ¬.

The moment of inertia of the system is I'=mr2+I then the final angular momentum is given by,

Lf=I'Ó¬'=mr2+IÓ¬'

03

Angular velocity of the system

Since,Li=Lfthen,

role="math" localid="1667991534420" mrvr-IӬ=mr2+IӬ'⇒Ӭ'=mrvr-IӬmr2+I

Now, substitute all the known values and simplify.

Ӭ′=mrvr−IӬmr2+I=(55kg)(3.0m)(2.8m/s)−80kgm2(0.20rad/s)(55kg)(3.0m)2+80kgm2=462kgm2/s−80kgm2(0.20rad/s)165kgm2+80kgm2=0.776rad/s2

Therefore, the angular velocity of the given system is Ó¬'=0.766rad/s2.

(c) How much energy would be required to separate the two stars to infinity?

A cube is placed so that one corner is at the origin and three edges are along the x-, y-, and z-axes of a coordinate system (Fig. P1.80). Use vectors to compute (a) the angle between the edge along the z-axis (line ab) and the diagonal from the origin to the opposite corner (line ad), and (b) the angle between line ac (the diagonal of a face) and line ad.

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.

The driver of a car wishes to pass a truck that is traveling at a constant speed of20.0m/s(about41mil/h). Initially, the car is also traveling at20.0m/s, and its front bumper is24.0mbehind the truck’s rear bumper. The car accelerates at a constant 0.600m/s2, then pulls back into the truck’s lane when the rear of the car is26.0mahead of the front of the truck. The car islong, and the truck is 21.0m long. (a) How much time is required for the car to pass the truck? (b) What distance does the car travel during this time? (c) What is the final speed of the car?
