Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given Data

m=30kgv=-2.0t3i^m/s

02

Determining the concept

Using the equation for position, find the velocity in terms of t by differentiating it. For the second particle, using the equation for acceleration, find the equation for the velocity for the second particle, by integrating this. Finally, equate the two equations to find the time.

Formulae are as follow:

L=mr×vτ=r×F

where,τis torque, F is force, r is radius, v is velocity, m is mass, L is angular momentum and ais acceleration.

03

(a) Determining the angular momentum

Now,

L=mr×v

As the toy is moving along x axis and the velocity vector is also along the x axis, so, the cross product is,

r×v=0.

Hence, the angular momentum is zero.

04

(b) Determining the torque

Now,

v=-2.0t3i^m/s

So, the acceleration vector can be calculated as,

a=dvdt=-6.0t2i^m/s2

From this equation, it comes to know that the acceleration vector is also along the xaxis.

So,r×a=0.

Hence,r×F=0.

Hence, the torque is zero.

05

(c) Determining the angular momentum at point (2.0,5.0)

For this case, calculate the position vector first,

r'=r-r0

Where, r0=2.0i+5.0j

Now,

L=mr'×vL=mr-r0×vL=m-r0×vL=3.0-2.0i^-5.0j^×2.0t3L=-30t3k^kg.m2/s.

Hence, angular momentum at point 2.0,5.0is -30t3k^kg.m/s2.

06

(d) Determining the torque at point (2.0,5.0)

Now,

τ=r×F

Also,

F=ma

So,

τ=mr'×a=-mr0×a=-3.02.00-5.0-6.0t2k^τ=-90t2k^N.m

Hence, torque at point 2.0,5.0is -90t2k^N.m.

07

(e) Determining the angular momentum at point (2.0,-5.0)

r'=r-r0r0=2.0i^-5.0j^l=mr'×v=-3.02.00--5.0-2.0t2k^

That gives,

data-custom-editor="chemistry" l=30t3k^kg.m2/s

Hence, angular momentum at point 2.0,-5.0is data-custom-editor="chemistry" 30t3k^kg.m2/s.

08

(f) Determining the torque at point (2.0,-5.0)

τ=mr'×a=-mr0×a=-3.02.00--5.0-6.0t2k^τ=90t2k^N.m

Hence, torque at point2.0,-5.0is90t2k^N.m.

Therefore, using the concept of differentiation and integration, the velocity from displacement and acceleration equations can be found respectively. Using these equations of velocity, it is possible to find the required answers.

In a long jump, an athlete leaves the ground with an initial angular momentum that tends to rotate her body forward, threatening to ruin her landing. To counter this tendency, she rotates her outstretched arms to “take up” the angular momentum (In figure). In 0.700s, one arm sweeps throughrole="math" localid="1660995016580" 0.500revand the other arms weeps through1.000rev. Treat each arm as a thin rod of mass4.0kgand length0.6mrotating around one end. In the athlete’s reference frame, what is the magnitude of the total angular momentum of the arms around the common rotation axis through the shoulders?

Windmill motion of the arms during a long jump helps maintain body orientation for a proper landing.
