Little Tammy lines up to tackle Jackson to (unsuccessfully) prove the law of conservation of momentum. Tammy’s mass is 34.0 kg a
1 answer:
Answer:
So Tammy must move with speed 4.76 m/s in opposite direction of Jackson
Explanation:
As per law of conservation of momentum we know that there is no external force on it
So here we can say that initial momentum of the system must be equal to the final momentum of the system
now we have
final they both comes to rest so here we can say that final momentum must be zero
now we have

Answer:
A) = 1.44 kg m², B) moment of inertia must increase
Explanation:
The moment of inertia is defined by
I = ∫ r² dm
For figures with symmetry it is tabulated, in the case of a cylinder the moment of inertia with respect to a vertical axis is
I = ½ m R²
A very useful theorem is the parallel axis theorem that states that the moment of inertia with respect to another axis parallel to the center of mass is
I = + m D²
Let's apply these equations to our case
The moment of inertia is a scalar quantity, so we can add the moment of inertia of the body and both arms
=
+ 2
= ½ M R²
The total mass is 64 kg, 1/8 corresponds to the arms and the rest to the body
M = 7/8 m total
M = 7/8 64
M = 56 kg
The mass of the arms is
m’= 1/8 m total
m’= 1/8 64
m’= 8 kg
As it has two arms the mass of each arm is half
m = ½ m ’
m = 4 kg
The arms are very thin, we will approximate them as a particle
= M D²
Let's write the equation
= ½ M R² + 2 (m D²)
Let's calculate
= ½ 56 0.20² + 2 4 0.20²
= 1.12 + 0.32
= 1.44 kg m²
b) if you separate the arms from the body, the distance D increases quadratically, so the moment of inertia must increase
