(b) Calculate the rotational kinetic energy of the system of platform plus person before and after the person's walk

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a) 0.426 rad/s

(b) Before 296.225 J and After 148.5 J

Explanation:

At the center of merry-go-round, the person's weight is 75 Kg with moment of inertia of 820 kgm2 and the initial angular velocity is 0.85 rad/s

At the edge, the new angular velocity gained depends on the new moment of inertia

Here, the final moment of inertia is given by Initial moment of inertia + [tex]MR^{2}[/tex] where M is the mass and R is the radius of merry-go-round

Final moment of inertia=[tex]820+(75*3.3^{2})=1636.75[/tex]

From the law of conservation of angular momentum as torque is zero

[tex]I_i\times\omega_1=I_f\times\omega_2[/tex]  and making [tex]\omega_2[/tex] the subject then

[tex]\omega_2=\frac {I_i\times\omega}{I_f}[/tex]

where [tex]I_i[/tex] and [tex]I_f[/tex] are initial and final moment of inertia, [tex]\omega_1[/tex] and [tex]\omega_2[/tex] are initial and final angular velocity.

Substituting the provided values

[tex]\omega_2=\frac {0.85\times 820}{1636.75}=0.425843898\approx 0.426 rad/s[/tex]

(b)

Initial rotational kinetic energy is given by

[tex]0.5I_i\times \omega_1^{2}[/tex]

[tex]KE_i=0.5\times 820\times 0.85^{2}=296.225 J[/tex]

The final rotational kinetic energy is given by

[tex]0.5I_f\times \omega_2^{2}[/tex]

[tex]KE_i=0.5\times 1636.75\times 0.426^{2}\approx 148.5 J[/tex]

a. The angular velocity when the person reaches the edge is 0.42 rad/s.

b. The rotational kinetic energy of the system of platform plus person before and after the person's walk are 296.23 Joules and 140.44 Joules respectively.

Given the following data:

  • Mass of person = 75 kg
  • Initial radius = 3.3 m
  • Initial angular speed = 0.85 rad/s
  • Moment of inertia (person + platform) = 820 [tex]kgm^2[/tex]  

a. To calculate the angular velocity when the person reaches the edge, we would use the law of conservation of angular momentum:

Applying the law of conservation of angular momentum:

[tex]I_i\omega_i = I_f\omega_f[/tex]  ....equation 1.

Where:

  • [tex]I_i[/tex] is the initial moment of inertia.
  • [tex]\omega_i[/tex] is the initial angular speed.
  • [tex]I_f[/tex] is the final moment of inertia.
  • [tex]\omega_f[/tex] is the final angular speed.

First of all, we would determine both the initial and final angular momentum of the person and the platform.

Note: The initial angular momentum of the person would be zero (0).

For initial angular momentum:

[tex]I_i\omega_i = 0+820 \times 0.85\\\\I_i\omega_i = 697\;kgm^2/s[/tex]  ....equation 2.

For final angular momentum:

[tex]I_f\omega_f = 75(3.3)^2\omega_f + 820\omega_f \\\\I_f\omega_f = 75(10.89)\omega_f + 820\omega_f\\\\I_f\omega_f = 816.75\omega_f + 820\omega_f\\\\I_f\omega_f = 1636.75\omega_f \;kgm^2/s[/tex].....equation 3.

Equating both eqn 2 and eqn 3, we have:

[tex]679 = 1636.75\omega_f\\\\\omega_f = \frac{679}{1636.75} \\\\\omega_f = 0.42 \;rad/s[/tex]

b. To calculate the rotational kinetic energy of the system of platform plus person before and after the person's walk.

Before the person's walk:

[tex]K.E_R =\frac{1}{2} I_i\omega_i^2\\\\K.E_R =\frac{1}{2} \times 820 \times 0.85^2\\\\K.E_R =410\times 0.7225\\\\K.E_R = 296.23 \;Joules[/tex]

After the person's walk:

[tex]K.E_R =\frac{1}{2} I_f\omega_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} I_f\omega_f^2\\\\K.E_R =\frac{1}{2} \times 820 \times 0.42^2 + \frac{1}{2} \times 75(3.3)^2 \times 0.42^2\\\\K.E_R =410\times 0.1716 + 408.375\times 0.1716\\\\K.E_R = 70.36+70.08\\\\K.E_R = 140.44 \;Joules[/tex]
