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

merry-go-round along a path tangent to the rim of the at a speed of 5. 0 m/s. Determine the angular velocity of the system after the boy hops on the merry-go-round.

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}

A circular radar antenna on a Coast Guard ship has a diameter of 2.10 m and radiates at a frequency of 16.0 GHz. Two small boats
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

d = 76.5 m

Explanation:

To find the distance at which the boats will be detected as two objects, we need to use the following equation:

\theta = \frac{1.22 \lambda}{D} = \frac{d}{L}

<u>Where:</u>

θ: is the angle of resolution of a circular aperture

λ: is the wavelength

D: is the diameter of the antenna = 2.10 m

d: is the separation of the two boats = ?

L: is the distance of the two boats from the ship = 7.00 km = 7000 m

To find λ we can use the following equation:

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

<u>Where:</u>

c: is the speed of light = 3.00x10⁸ m/s

f: is the frequency = 16.0 GHz = 16.0x10⁹ Hz

\lambda = \frac{c}{f} = \frac{3.00 \cdot 10^{8} m/s}{16.0 \cdot 10^{9} s^{-1}} = 0.0188 m            

Hence, the distance is:

d = \frac{1.22 \lambda L}{D} = \frac{1.22*0.0188 m*7000 m}{2.10 m} = 76.5 m

Therefore, the boats could be at 76.5 m close together to be detected as two objects.

 

I hope it helps you!
