Two astronauts (each with mass 100 kg) are drifting together through space. They are connected to each other by a rope 5 m in le

ngth, and are moving in circles about a point halfway between them (i.e. their center of mass). Each astronaut has a speed of 2 m/s. They then pull on the rope, shortening the distance between them to 1 m. You can simplify the system by treating the astronauts as particles, and assuming the rope has negligible mass. Then solve the following; set up steps 3-7 separately for each part (you can use the same picture for all parts). a. What are the initial angular momentum and rotational energy of the system? b. What are the final angular momentum and rotational energy of the system? (hint: what is the new velocity of each astronaut?). C. How much work was done by the astronauts in shortening the rope?

Answer:

1000 kgm²/s, 400 J

1000 kgm²/s, 1000 J

600 J

Explanation:

m = Mass of astronauts = 100 kg

d = Diameter

r = Radius = \frac{d}{2}

v = Velocity of astronauts = 2 m/s

Angular momentum of the system is given by

L=mvr+mvr\\\Rightarrow L=2mvr\\\Rightarrow L=2\times 100\times 2\times 2.5\\\Rightarrow L=1000\ kgm^2/s

The angular momentum of the system is 1000 kgm²/s

Rotational energy is given by

K=I\omega^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}(mr^2)\left(\frac{v}{r}\right)^2\\\Rightarrow K=mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=100\times 2^2\\\Rightarrow K=400\ J

The rotational energy of the system is 400 J

There no external toque present so the initial and final angular momentum will be equal to the initial angular momentum 1000 kgm²/s

L_i=L_f\\\Rightarrow 2mv_ir_i=2mv_fr_f\\\Rightarrow v_f=\frac{v_ir_i}{r_f}\\\Rightarrow v_f=\frac{2\times 2.5}{0.5}\\\Rightarrow v_f=10\ m/s

Energy

E_2=mv_f^2\\\Rightarrow E_2=100\times 10\\\Rightarrow E_2=1000\ J

The new energy will be 1000 J

Work done will be the change in the kinetic energy

W=E_2-E\\\Rightarrow W=1000-400\\\Rightarrow W=600\ J

The work done is 600 J

A transverse wave on a string is described by the following wave function.y = (0.090 m) sin (px/11 + 4pt)(a) Determine the trans
alukav5142 [94]

Explanation:

(a) It is known that equation for transverse wave is given as follows.

                 y = (0.09 m)sin(\pi \frac{x}{11} + 4 \pi t)

Now, we will compare above equation with the standard form of transeverse wave equation,

                 y = A sin(kx + \omega t)

where,    A is the amplitude = 0.09 m

              k is the wave vector = \frac{\pi}{11}

              \omega is the angular frequency = 4\pi

              x is displacement = 1.40 m

              t is the time = 0.16 s

Now, we will differentiate the equation with respect to t as follows.

The speed of the wave  will be:

                   v(t) = \frac{dy}{dt}

                v(t) = A \omega cos(kx + \omega t)

        v(t) = (0.09 m)(4\pi) cos(\frac{\pi \times 1.4}{11} + 4 \pi \times 0.16)

          v(t) = -0.84 m/s

The acceleration of the particle in the location is

            a(t) = \frac{dv}{dt}

           a(t) = -A \omega 2sin(kx + \omega t)

           a(t) = -(0.09 m)(4 \pi)2 sin(\frac{\pi \times 1.4}{11} + 4\pi \times 0.16)

           a(t) = -9.49 m/s^{2}

Hence, the value of transverse wave is 0.84 m/s and the value of acceleration is 9.49 m/s^{2} .

(b)  Wavelength of the wave is given as follows.

               \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k}

              \lambda = (frac{2\pi}{\frac{\pi}{11})


              \lambda = 22 m

The period of the wave is

             T = \frac{2 \pi}{\omega}

             T = \frac{2 \pi}{4 \pi}

                = 0.5 sec

Now, we will calculate the speed of propagation of wave as follows.

                    v = \frac{\lambda}{T}

                       = \frac{22 m}{0.5 s}

                       = 44 m/s

therefore, we can conclude that wavelength is 22 m, period is 0.5 sec, and speed of propagation of wave is 44 m/s.

Which of the following observations indicates that an object is falling at terminal velocity?
vitfil [10]

Answer:  D

Explanation:

When an object falls gravity is pulling down on it and is picking up speed, but as it gains speed air resistance becomes a faster. Air resistance increases with speed. And that force keeps it from accelerating eventually the object will pick up speed such that the force due to air resistance will keep it from getting any more speed at that point force due to air resistance is equal to its weight (mg) and the net force is equal to zero so it won’t accelerate any more at that point it is said to be moving in terminal velocity.

When an object has reached terminal velocity, it will have a constant velocity
