The angular momentum of a system remains constant when: A. the total kinetic energy is constant
1 answer:
Answer:
D. when no torque acts on the system
Explanation:
The angular momentum of a system is defined as:
where
I is the moment of inertia of the system
is the angular velocity
This is the equivalent of the linear momentum, p, for rotational motion
where m is the mass of the system and v is its velocity. From Newton' laws, we know that the change in linear momentum is equal to net force acting on the system, F:
The analogous relationship for a rotational motion is:
where is the net torque acting on the system. This is the law of conservation of angular momentum, which states that the rate of change of the angular momentum of an object is equal to the net torque on the system: therefore, when no torque acts on the system, the angular momentum is conserved.

a) F₁ = 267.3 N, N₁ = 1300 N, b) μ = 0.324
Explanation:
For this exercise we use the rotational equilibrium condition, we have a reference system is the floor and the anticlockwise rotations as positive, in the adjoint we can see a diagram of the forces
let's use subscript 1 for the ladder and 2 for the firefighter
∑ τ = 0
-W₁ x₁ - W₂ x₂ + N₁ y = 0
N₁ = (1)
the center of mass of the ladder is at its geometric center,
d = L / 2 = 15/2 = 7.5 m
cos 60 = x₁ / d₁
x₁ = d₁ cos 60
x₁ = 7.5 cos 60
x₁ = 3.75 m
for the firefighter d₂ = 4 m
cos 60 = x₂ / d₂
x₂ = d₂ cos 60
x₂ = 4 cos 60 = 2 m
for the fulcrum d₃ = 15 m
sin 60 = y / d₃
y = d₃ sin 60
y = 15 sin 60
y = 13 m
we look for the Normal by substituting in equation 1
N₂ =
N₂ = 267.3 N
now let's use the translational equilibrium relations
X axis
F₁ - N₂ = 0
F₁ = N₂
F₁ = 267.3 N
Axis y
N₁ - W₁ -W₂ = 0
N₁ = W₁ + W₂
N₁ = 500 + 800
N₁ = 1300 N
b) for this case change the firefighter's distance d₂ = 9 m
x₂ = 9 cos 60
x₂ = 4.5 m
we substitute in 1
N₂ = \frac{500 \ 3.75 \ + 800 \ 4.5}{13}
N₂ = 421.15 N
of the translational equilibrium equation on the x-axis
fr = F₁ = N₂
fr = 421.15 N
friction force has the expression
fr = μ N
in this case the reaction of the Earth to the support of the ladder is N1 = 1300N
μ = fr / N₁
μ = 421.15 / 1300
μ = 0.324
