A Texas cockroach of mass 0.157 kg runs counterclockwise around the rim of a lazy Susan (a circular disk mounted on a vertical a

xle) that has a radius 14.9 cm, rotational inertia 5.92 x 10-3 kg·m2, and frictionless bearings. The cockroach's speed (relative to the ground) is 2.92 m/s, and the lazy Susan turns clockwise with angular velocity ω0 = 3.89 rad/s. The cockroach finds a bread crumb on the rim and, of course, stops. (a) What is the angular speed of the lazy Susan after the cockroach stops? (b) Is mechanical energy conserved as it stops?

Answer:

-7.23 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the cockroach, m = 0.157 kg

Radius of the disk, r = 14.9 cm = 0.149 m

Rotational Inertia, I = 5.92*10^-3 kgm²

Speed of the cockroach, v = 2.92 m/s

Angular velocity of the rim, w = 3.89 rad/s

The initial angular momentum of rim is

Iw = 5.92*10^-3 * 3.89

Iw = 2.3*10^-2 kgm²/s

The initial angular momentum of cockroach about the axle of the disk is

L = -mvr

L = -0.157 * 2.92 * 0.149

L = -0.068 kgm²/s

This means that we can get the initial angular momentum of the system by summing both together

2.3*10^-2 + -0.068

L' = -0.045 kgm²/s

After the cockroach stops, the total inertia of the spinning disk is

I(f) = I + mr²

I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 0.157 * 0.149²

I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 3.49*10^-3

I(f) = 9.41*10^-3 kgm²

Final angular momentum of the disk is

L'' = I(f).w(f)

L''= 9.41*10^-3w(f)

Using the conservation of total angular momentum, we have

-0.068 = 9.41*10^-3w(f) + 0

w(f) = -0.068 / 9.41*10^-3

w(f) = -7.23 rad/s

Therefore, the speed of the lazy Susan after the cockroach stops is -7.23 and is directed in the opposite direction of the initial lazy Susan angular speed

b)

The mechanical energy of the cockroach is not converted as it stops

GenaCL600 [577]
The reason why the snails are dead because the snails lack oxygen for it is a model of closed ecosystem. Another reason to this is that they lack  abiotic factors that they need in surviving or as they live for the place that they are living lacks a lot and are not enough for them to last or survive. Lastly, the water could have not been a contributor for them to live for they may not be able to live in a water environment and could only dwell in land.

olga55 [171]
The scientist is likely to be studying kinematics.
Kinematics is the branch of science, specifically physics, which is concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces that induce this motion. An example of kinematics is studying the change in velocity of an object over time or the distance covered by an object in a specified amount of time.

Answer:

2) a_y= -g  3) vₓ=constant v_y = v_{oy} - g t, 4)  vₓ = v₀ₓ - ax t

5)  changes the horizontal speed, should change range

7) changes the vertical speed change the maximum height

Explanation:

1) After reading your long writing, we are going to solve the exercise, in the attachment you can see the different vectors.

2) The acceleration vectors are vertical and directed downwards due to the attraction of the Earth (gravity force) this force is constant, on the x axis there is no acceleration

3) the velocity vectors on the x-axis are constant because there are no relationships and the y-axis changes value according to the expression

           v_y = v_{oy} - gt

at the point of maximum height, vy = 0 is equal to the maximum height

4) For someone to change the horizontal acceleration we must assume a friction with the air, in this case they relate it would be in the opposite direction to the horizontal speed

In the graph it would be directed to the left, therefore the velocity would be

           vₓ = v₀ₓ - ax t

5 and 6) If someone changes the horizontal speed, they should change the range of the shot for greater horizontal speed, the rock goes further.

the equations of motion are

           x = v₀ₓ t

           y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

7) If someone changes the vertical speed change the maximum height, but not the scope of the shot, for higher speed higher maximum height,

the equations of motion are the same.
