A horizontal platform in the shape of a circular disk rotates on a frictionless bearing about a vertical axle through the center

of the disk. The platform has a radius of 3.70 m and a rotational inertia of 274 kg·m2 about the axis of rotation. A 67.8 kg student walks slowly from the rim of the platform toward the center. If the angular speed of the system is 2.62 rad/s when the student starts at the rim, what is the angular speed when she is 0.456 m from the center?

Answer:

10.93 rad/s

Explanation:

If we treat the student as a point mass, her moment of inertia at the rim is

I_r = mr^2 = 67.8*3.7^2 = 928.182 kgm^2

So the system moment of inertia when she's at the rim is:

I_1 = I_d + I_r = 274 + 928.182 = 1202.182 kgm^2

Similarly, we can calculate the system moment of inertia when she's at 0.456 m from the center

I_2 = I_d + 67.8*0.456^2 = 274 + 14.1 = 288.1 kgm^2

We can apply the law of angular momentum conservation to calculate the post angular speed when she's 0.456m from the center:

I_1\omega_1 = I_2\omega_2

\omega_2 = \omega_1\frac{I_1}{I_2} = 2.62*\frac{1202.182}{288.1} = 10.93 rad/s

A jet plane is launched from a catapult on an aircraft carrier. In 2.0 s it reaches a speed of 42 m/s at the end of the catapult
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

time taken t=2\ s

Speed acquired in 2 sec v=42\ m/s

Here initial velocity is zero u=0

acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in a given time

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

a=\frac{42-0}{2}=21\ m/s^2

Distance travel in this time

s=ut+0.5at^2

where  

s=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

s=0+\0.5\times 21\times (2)^2

s=42\ m

so Jet Plane travels a distance of 42 m in 2 s
