So, the new angular speed when the man walks to a point 0 m from the center (in rad/s) is approximately <u>0.87π rad/</u>s.

<h3>Introduction</h3>

Hi ! I will help you with this problem. This problem will mostly adopt the principle of rotational dynamics, especially angular momentum. When there is a change in the mass or radius of rotation of an object, it will not affect its angular momentum, only its angular velocity will change. Therefore, the law of conservation of angular momentum can be written as :

\sf{L_1 = L_2}

\sf{I_1 \times \omega_1 = I_2 \times \omega_2}

\boxed{\sf{\bold{m_1 \times (r_1)^2 \times \omega_1 = m_2 \times (r_2)^2 \times \omega_2}}}

With the following condition :

  • \sf{m_1} = initial mass (kg)
  • \sf{m_2} = final object mass (kg)
  • \sf{r_1} = initial turning radius (m)
  • \sf{r_2} = final turning radius (m)
  • \sf{\omega_1} = initial angular velocity (rad/s)
  • \sf{\omega_2} = final angular velocity (rad/s)

<h3>Rationale</h3>

Previously, we assumed that when rotating, only merry-go-round that experienced inertia so the man will only add to the mass of the merry-go-round. Perhaps, having a man at the end of it will change the slope (direction of torque), but not change the value of angular momentum. So, when this person is in the middle or on the central axis (read: 0 m from the center), the man no longer had any effect on the weight gain.

<h3>Problem Solving</h3>

We know that :

  • \sf{m_1} = initial mass = 88 (man) + 75 (object) = 163 kg
  • \sf{m_2} = final object mass = 75 kg
  • \sf{r_1} = \sf{r_2} = r >> The radius of rotation is always the same
  • \sf{\omega_1} = initial angular velocity = 0.2 rev/s = 0.2 × 2π rad/s >> 0.4π rad/s

What was asked :

  • \sf{\omega_2} = final angular velocity = ... rad/s

Step by step :

\sf{m_1 \times (r_1)^2 \times \omega_1 = m_2 \times (r_2)^2 \times \omega_2}

\sf{163 \times \cancel{(r)^2} \times 0.4 \pi = 75 \times \cancel{(r)^2} \times \omega_2}

\sf{65.2 \pi = 75 \times \omega_2}

\sf{\omega_2 = \frac{65.2 \pi}{75}}

\boxed{\sf{\omega_2 \approx 0.87 \pi \: rad/s}}

<h3>Conclusion</h3>

So, the new angular speed when the man walks to a point 0 m from the center (in rad/s) is approximately 0.87π rad/s

A cylinder of diameter 100 mm rolls from restdown a 5 m long ramp and its center of mass is moving with velocity 2 m/s at the bo
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

(a): a = 0.4m/s²

(b): α = 8 radians/s²

Explanation:

First we propose an equation to determine the linear acceleration and an equation to determine the space traveled in the ramp (5m):

a= (Vf-Vi)/t = (2m/s)/t

a: linear acceleration.

Vf: speed at the end of the ramp.

Vi: speed at the beginning of the ramp (zero).

d= (1/2)×a×t² = 5m

d: distance of the ramp (5m).

We replace the first equation in the second to determine the travel time on the ramp:

d = 5m = (1/2)×( (2m/s)/t)×t² = (1m/s)×t ⇒ t = 5s

And the linear acceleration will be:

a = (2m/s)/5s = 0.4m/s²

Now we determine the perimeter of the cylinder to know the linear distance traveled on the ramp in a revolution:

perimeter = π×diameter = π×0.1m = 0.3142m

To determine the angular acceleration we divide the linear acceleration by the radius of the cylinder:

α = (0.4m/s²)/(0.05m) = 8 radians/s²

α: angular aceleration.

Natalie lifts a 15-kg rock from the ground onto a 1.5 meter high wall. what is the amount of potential energy she has given the
Zina [86]
The amount of gravitational potential energy acquired by the rock is equal to:
\Delta U = mg \Delta h
where 
m is the mass of the rock
g is the gravitational acceleration
\Delta h is the increase in height of the rock

Substituting the data of the problem, we find
\Delta U=(15 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.5 m)=220.7 J
So, Natalie gave 220.7 J of energy to the rock.
