Two ice skaters hold hands and rotate, making one revolution in 2.87 s. Their masses are 59.0 kg and 73.0 kg, and they are separ

ated by 1.10 m. Find the angular momentum of the system about their center of mass. If the skaters pull towards each other and decrease their separation to 0.60 m, what is the new period of rotation about the center of mass?

Answer:

86.43

25.72

Explanation:

Location of center of mass from 59 Kg

r_1=\frac {xm_2}{m1+m2}=\frac {1.1*73}{59+73}= 0.608333m

Location of center of mass from 73 Kg

r_2=\frac {xm_1}{m1+m2}=\ frac {1.1*59}{59+73}= 0.491667m

Momentum of inertia

I=m1r_1^{2}+m2r_2^{2}=59*0.608333^{2}+73*0.491667^{2}=21.8341  +17.64674=39.48083  Kgm^{2}

Angular moment

L=I\omega=I(\frac {2\pi}{T})=39.48083(\frac {2*\pi}{2.87 s})=86.43393Js

(b)

When separation is 0.6 m

Location of centre of mass from 59 Kg

r_1=\frac {xm_2}{m1+m2}=\frac {0.6*73}{59+73}= 0.331818 m

Location of centre of mass from 73 Kg

r_2=\frac {xm_1}{m1+m2}=\ frac {0.6*59}{59+73}= 0.268182 m

Momentum of intertia

I=m1r_1^{2}+m2r_2^{2}=59*0.331818^{2}+73*0.268182^{2}=6.496095 + 5.250269=11.74636 Kgm^{2}

Angular moment

L=I\omega=I(\frac {2\pi}{T})=11.74636(\frac {2*\pi}{2.87 s})=25.71588 Js

Can something have energy without having momentum? explain. can something have momentum without having energy? defend your answe
marta [7]
Momentum  is a product mass and velocity. If a certain object posses a kinetic energy, then it should have a momentum since it is moving which has a velocity. However, if the object is at rest and only has potential energy, then it would not have momentum. So, for the first question the answer would be yes, an object can have energy without having any momentum. For the second question, every object whether it is moving or at rest, possess some energy, potential for an object at rest and kinetic for an object that is moving. Thus, the answer would be no, an object having momentum would always have energy.
