32 seconds
Explanation:
m1 = 80 kg
m2 = 10 kg
v2 = 5m/s
According to the property of conservation of momentum, assuming that both you and the bag are stationary before the safety rope comes lose:
Since the space station is 20 meters away, the time taken to reach it is given by:
It takes you 32 seconds to reach the station.
a) Angular acceleration:
b) Weight: conterclockwise torque, reaction force: zero torque
Explanation:
a)
In this problem, you are holding the pencil at its end: this means that the pencil will rotate about this point.
The only force producing a torque on the pencil is the weight of the pencil, of magnitude
where m is the mass of the pencil and g the acceleration of gravity.
However, when the pencil is rotating around its end, only the component of the weight tangential to its circular trajectory will cause an angular acceleration. This component of the weight is:
where is the angle of the rod with respect to the vertical.
The weight act at the center of mass of the pencil, which is located at the middle of the pencil. So the torque produced is
where L is the length of the pencil.
The relationship between torque and angular acceleration is
(1)
where
is the moment of inertia of the pencil with respect to its end.
Substituting into (1) and solving for , we find:
And assuming that the length of the pencil is L = 15 cm = 0.15 m, the angular acceleration when is
b)
There are only two forces acting on the pencil here:
- The weight of the pencil, of magnitude
- The normal reaction of the hand on the pencil, R
The torque exerted by each force is given by
where F is the magnitude of the force and d the distance between the force and the pivot point.
For the weight, we saw in part a) that the torque is
For the reaction force, the torque is zero: this is because the reaction force is applied exctly at the pivot point, so d = 0, and therefore the torque is zero.
Therefore:
- Weight: counterclockwise torque (I have assumed that the pencil is held at its right end)
- Reaction force: zero torque
