Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
angular speed of rotation of friction-less platform,
moment of inertia with extended weight,
moment of inertia with contracted weight,
<u>Now we use the law of conservation of angular momentum:</u>
The angular speed becomes faster as the mass is contracted radially near to the axis of rotation.
Impulse = Force * times and also Impulse = change in momentum.
Given that the mass does not change, change if momentum = mass * (final velocity - initial velocity)
Given that you know mass and initial velocity (which is the velicity before the cart hits the wall) you need the final velocity (which is the velocity after the cart hits the wall).
Answer: the velocity of the cart after it hits the wall.
