You are sitting on a merry-go-round of mass 200 kg and radius 2m that is at rest (not spinning). Your mass is 50 kg. Your friend

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

a. $\tau=200J$ b. $\alpha=0.44 \frac{rad}{s^2}$ c. $\alpha=0.33\frac{rad}{s^2}$ d. The angular acceleration when sitting in the middle is larger.

Explanation:

a. The magnitude of the torque is given by $\tau=rF\sin \theta$ , being r the radius, F the force aplied and $\theta$ the angle between the vector force and the vector radius. Since $\theta=90^{\circ}, \, \sin\theta=1$ and so $\tau=rF=2m100N=200Nm=200J$ .

b. Since the relation $\tau=I\alpha$ hols, being I the moment of inertia, the angular acceleration can be calculated by $\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}$ . Since we have already calculated the torque, all left is calculate the moment of inertia. The moment of inertia of a solid disk rotating about an axis that passes through its center is $I=\frac{1}{2}Mr^2$ , being M the mass of the disk. If we assume that a person has a punctual mass, the moment of inertia of a person would be given by $I_p=m_pr_p^{2}$ , being $m_p$ the mass of the person and $r_p^{2}$ the distance from the person to the center. Given all of this, we have

$\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{\tau}{I_{disk}+I_{person}}=\frac{Fr}{\frac{1}{2}Mr^2+m_pr_p^{2}}=\frac{200Nm}{\frac{1}{2}200kg*4m^2+50kg*1m^2}=\frac{200\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}}{450Nm^2}\approx 0.44\frac{rad}{s^2}$ .

c. Similar equation to b, but changing $r_p=2m$ , so

$alpha=\dfrac{200\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}}{\frac{1}{2}200*4kg\,m^2+50*4 kg\,m^2}=\dfrac{200}{600}\dfrac{1}{s^2}\approx 0.33 \frac{rad}{s^2}$ .

d. The angular acceleration when sitting in the middle is larger because the moment of inertia of the person is smaller, meaning that the person has less inertia to rotate.

Torque can cause the angular momentum vector to rotate in UCM. This motion is called ___________.

emmainna [20.7K]

Torque can cause the angular momentum vector to rotate in UCM. This motion is called _Conservation of Angular momentum__________.

Answer:

Conservation of Angular momentum

Explanation:

The motion of an object in a circular path at constant speed is known as uniform circular motion (UCM). An object in UCM is constantly changing direction, and since velocity is a vector and has direction, you could say that an object undergoing UCM has a constantly changing velocity, even if its speed remains constant.

The law of conservation of angular momentum states that when no external torque acts on an object, no change of angular momentum will occur.

Key Points

When an object is spinning in a closed system and no external torques are applied to it, it will have no change in angular momentum.

The conservation of angular momentum explains the angular acceleration of an ice skater as she brings her arms and legs close to the vertical axis of rotation.

If the net torque is zero, then angular momentum is constant or conserved.

Angular Momentum

The conserved quantity we are investigating is called angular momentum. The symbol for angular momentum is the letter L. Just as linear momentum is conserved when there is no net external forces, angular momentum is constant or conserved when the net torque is zero. We can see this by considering Newton’s 2nd law for rotational motion:

τ→=dL→dt, where

τ is the torque. For the situation in which the net torque is zero,

dL→dt=0.

If the change in angular momentum ΔL is zero, then the angular momentum is constant; therefore,

⇒

L =constant

L=constant (when net τ=0).

This is an expression for the law of conservation of angular momentum.

Example and Implications

An example of conservation of angular momentum is seen in an ice skater executing a spin, The net torque on her is very close to zero,

because (1) there is relatively little friction between her skates and the ice, and (2) the friction is exerted very close to the pivot point.

Conservation of angular momentum is one of the key conservation laws in physics, along with the conservation laws for energy and (linear) momentum. These laws are applicable even in microscopic domains where quantum mechanics governs; they exist due to inherent symmetries present in nature.
