A merry-go-round with a rotational inertia of 600 kg m2 and a radius of 3. 0 m is initially at rest. A 20 kg boy approaches the
Margaret [11]

Hi there!

\boxed{\omega = 0.38 rad/sec}

We can use the conservation of angular momentum to solve.

\large\boxed{L_i = L_f}

Recall the equation for angular momentum:

L = I\omega

We can begin by writing out the scenario as a conservation of angular momentum:

I_m\omega_m + I_b\omega_b = \omega_f(I_m + I_b)

I_m = moment of inertia of the merry-go-round (kgm²)

\omega_m = angular velocity of merry go round (rad/sec)

\omega_f = final angular velocity of COMBINED objects (rad/sec)

I_b = moment of inertia of boy (kgm²)

\omega_b= angular velocity of the boy (rad/sec)

The only value not explicitly given is the moment of inertia of the boy.

Since he stands along the edge of the merry go round:

I = MR^2

We are given that he jumps on the merry-go-round at a speed of 5 m/s. Use the following relation:

\omega = \frac{v}{r}

L_b = MR^2(\frac{v}{R}) = MRv

Plug in the given values:

L_b = (20)(3)(5) = 300 kgm^2/s

Now, we must solve for the boy's moment of inertia:

I = MR^2\\I = 20(3^2) = 180 kgm^2

Use the above equation for conservation of momentum:

600(0) + 300 = \omega_f(180 + 600)\\\\300 = 780\omega_f\\\\\omega = \boxed{0.38 rad/sec}

What is the length a rubberband was stretched if it has a spring constant of 5700N/m and is currently holding 8600J OF POTENTIAL
lozanna [386]

Answer:

\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m

Explanation:

<u>Elastic Potential Energy </u>

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2

Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.

Solving for Δx:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\swrt{\frac{2PE}{k}}

Substituting:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{\frac{2*8600}{5700}}

Calculating:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{3.0175}

\boxed{\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m}
