Short Answer

Expert verified

The angular momentum of the particle is-4,3.8,0kg·m2/s.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Angular Momentum.

The rotating analogue of linear momentum is angular momentum (also known as moment of momentum or rotational momentum). Because it is a conserved quantity—the total angular momentum of a closed system remains constant—it is a significant quantity in physics.

02

 Step 2: Find the angular momentum of the particle.

Use the equation that indicates the rate of change of the particle's angular acceleration is equal to the torque acting on it.

τA=dLAdt

Here,dLAdtis the rate of change of angular momentum of particle at location A, andτAis the torque on the particle at location A.

The above expression can also be written as,

τA=LfA-LiAtf-ti

Here, LfAis the final angular momentum of the particle, LiAis the initial angular momentum of the particle, and tf-tiis the time for which the torque is applied.

Substitute 0.1sfor tf-ti10,-12,20N·mτA.3,5,-2kg·m2/sin LiA

τA=LfA-LiAtf-ti

10,-12,20N·m=LfA-3,5,-2kg·m2/s0.1s

LfA=4,3.8,0kg·m2/s

Therefore, the angular momentum of the particle at 15.1sis 4,3.8,0kg·m2/s.

A rod rotates in the vertical plane around a horizontal axle. A wheel is free to rotate on the rod, as shown in Figure 11.74. A vertical stripe is painted on the wheel remains vertical. Is the translational angular momentum of the wheel relative to location A zero or non-zero? If non-zero, what is its direction? Is the rotational angular momentum of the wheel zero or non-zero? If non-zero, what is its direction? Consider a similar system, but with the wheel welded to the rod (not free to turn). As the rod rotates clock wise, does the stripe on the wheel remain vertical? Is the translational angular momentum of the wheel relatives to location A zero or non-zero? If non-zero, what is its direction? Is the rotational angular momentum of the wheel zero or non-zero? If non-zero, what is its direction?

A common amusement park ride is a Ferris wheel (see figure, which is not drawn to scale). Riders sit in chairs that are on pivots so they remain level as the wheel turns at a constant rate. A particular Ferris wheel has a radius of 24 meters, and it make one complete revolution around its axle (at location A) in 20sIn all of the following questions, consider location A(at the center of the axle) as the location around which we will calculate the angular momentum. At the instant shown in the diagram, a child of mass40kg, sitting at location F, is traveling with velocity <7.5,0,0>m/s.

(a.) What is the linear momentum of the child? (b) In the definition L=r×p,what is the vector r? (c) what is r? (d) what is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the child about location A? (e) What is the plane defined by randp(that is, the plane containing both of these vectors)? (f) Use the right-hand rule to determine thecomponent of the angular momentum of the child about locationA. (g) You used the right-hand rule to determine the zcomponent of the angular momentum, but as a check, calculate in terms of position and momentum: What isypx? Therefore, what iszthe component of the angular momentum of the child about locationA? (h) The Ferris wheel keeps turning, and at a later time, the same child is at locationEwith coordinates<16.971,-16.971,0>m relative to location A, moving with velocity<5.303,5.303,0>m/s.Now what is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the child about location A?

A sick of length Land mass Mhangs from a low-friction axle (Figure 11.90). A bullet of mass mtravelling at a high speedstrikes vnear the bottom of the stick and quickly buries itself in the stick.

(a) During the brief impact, is the linear momentum of the stick + bullet system constant? Explain why or why not. Include in your explanation a sketch of how the stick shifts on the axle during the impact. (b) During the brief impact, around what point does the angular momentum of the stick + bullet system remain constant? (c) Just after the impact, what is the angular speed ωof the stick (with the bullet embedded in it) ? (Note that the center of mass of the stick has a speed ωL/2.The moment of inertia of a uniform rod about its center of mass is112ML2.(d) Calculate the change in kinetic energy from just before to just after the impact. Where has this energy gone? (e) The stick (with the bullet embedded in it) swings through a maximum angleθmaxafter the impact, then swing back. Calculate θmax.

Make a sketch showing a situation in which the torque due to a single force about some location is \(20\,\,{\rm{N}} \cdot {\rm{m}}\) in the positive \(z\) direction, whereas about another location the torque is \(10\,\,{\rm{N}} \cdot {\rm{m}}\) in the negative \(z\) direction.

A small rubber ball of radius rhits a rough horizontal floor such that its speedvjust before striking the floor at location A makes an angle of 60°with the horizontal and also has back spin with angular speed ω. It is observed that the ball repeatedly bounces from A to B, then from B back to A, etc. Assuming perfectly elastic impact determine (a) the required magnitude of ωof the back spin in terms of vand r, and (b) the minimum magnitude of co-efficient of static frictionμs to enable this motion. Hint: Notice that the direction of ω flips in each collision.
