Two identical twins hold on to a rope, one at each end, on a smooth, frictionless ice surface. They skate in a circle about the

center of the rope (the center of mass of the two-body system) and perpendicular to the ice. The mass of each twin is 78.0 kg. The rope of negligible mass is 4.0 m long and they move at a speed of 4.30 m/s.
(a) What is the magnitude, in kg · m2/s, of the angular momentum of the system comprised of the two twins?
___________kg · m2/s.
(b) They now pull on the rope and move closer to each other so that the rope between them is now half as long. Determine the speed, in m/s, with which they move now.
__________m/s.
(c) The two twins have to do work in order to move closer to each other. How much work, in joules, did they do?
____________J.

Answer:

Part a)

L = 2683.2 kg m^2/s

Part b)

v' = 8.60 m/s

Part c)

W = 4326.7 J

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that there is no external torque on the system of two twins

so here we will use

L = mv r + mvr

L = 2(78 \times 4.30 \times 4)

L = 2683.2 kg m^2/s

Part b)

Since angular momentum is conserved here as there is no external torque

so we will have

2(m v r) = 2( m v' \frac{r}{2})

v' = 2v

v' = 8.60 m/s

Part c)

Work done by both of them = change in kinetic energy

so we have

W = 2(\frac{1}{2}mv'^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv^2)

W = m(v'^2 - v^2)

W = 78(8.60^2 - 4.3^2)

W = 4326.7 J

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The formulas used to analyze the horizontal and vertical motion of projectiles launched at an angle involve the use of tangent, cosine and sine.

<h3>What is vertical motion of a projecile?</h3>

The vertical motion of a projectile is affected by gravity and the velocity of vertical motion given by the following formula;

Vy = Vsinθ

<h3>What is horizontal motion of a projecile?</h3>

The horizontal velocity of a projectile is given by the following formula;

Vx = Vcosθ

<h3>Direction of the motion</h3>

The direction of the motion is calculated as follows;

tanθ  = Vy/Vx

Thus, the formulas used to analyze the horizontal and vertical motion of projectiles launched at an angle involve the use of tangent, cosine and sine.

What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a speck of clay on the edge of a potter's wheel turning at 45 rpm (revolutions per
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

a_{cp}=7.77m/s^2

Explanation:

The equation for centripetal acceleration is a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{r}.

We know the wheel turns at 45 rpm, which means 0.75 revolutions per second (dividing by 60), so our frequency is f=0.75Hz, which is the inverse of the period T.

Our velocity is the relation between the distance traveled and the time taken, so is the relation between the circumference C=2\pi r and the period T, then we have:

v=\frac{C}{T}=2\pi r f

Putting all together:

a_{cp}=\frac{(2\pi r f)^2}{r}=4 \pi^2f^2r=4 \pi^2(0.75Hz)^2(0.35m)=7.77m/s^2
