A uniform, 4.5 kg, square, solid wooden gate 1.5 m on each side hangs vertically from a frictionless pivot at the center of its
upper edge. A 1.3 kg raven flying horizontally at 4.5 m/s flies into this door at its center and bounces back at 2.5 m/s in the opposite direction. (a) What is the angular speed of the gate just after it is struck by the unfortunate raven? (b) During the collision, why is the angular momentum conserved but not the linear momentum?
1 answer:
Answer:
a) Angular speed(w) = 2.02rad/sec
b) 73J ( It is Inelastic Collision)
Explanation:
Given:
Mass=45kg
Length on each side = 1.5m side which is hangs vertically from a frictionless pivot at the center of its upper edge.
We need to calculate
(a) What is the angular speed and
(b) To know why the angular momentum conserved but not the linear momentum
