A bowling ball has a mass of 5.5 kg and a radius of 12.0 cm. It is released so that
it rolls down the alley at a rate of 12 rev/s. Find the magnitude of its angular
momentum.

Respuesta :

[tex]L = 2.4 \; \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^{2} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}[/tex]

Explanation

The angular momentum of a rolling body is the product of the body's moment of inertia and its angular velocity.

[tex]L = I \cdot \omega[/tex]

where

  • [tex]L[/tex] is the angular momentum of a rolling body;
  • [tex]I[/tex] is the body's moment of inertia; And
  • [tex]\omega[/tex] is the body's angular moment.

What's the moment of inertia of this bowling ball?

Assuming that the ball is a solid sphere. For a solid sphere,

[tex]I = \dfrac{2}{5} \; m \cdot r^2[/tex].

where

  • [tex]I[/tex] is the moment of inertia of the sphere;
  • [tex]m[/tex] is the mass of the sphere; and
  • [tex]r[/tex] is the radius of the sphere.

[tex]r = 12.0 \; \text{cm} = 0.120 \; \text{m}[/tex] for this sphere. [tex]m = 5.5 \; \text{kg}[/tex].

[tex]I = \dfrac{2}{5} \; m \cdot r^{2}\\\phantom{I} = \dfrac{2}{5} \times 5.5 \times 0.120^{2}\\\phantom{I} = 0.0317 \; \text{kg}\cdot m^{2}[/tex]

What's the angular momentum of this bowling ball?

[tex]\omega = 12 \; \text{rev} \cdot s^{-1} = 12 \times 2\; \pi \; \text{rad} \cdot \text{s}^{-1} = 75.4 \; \text{rad}\cdot \text{s}^{-1}[/tex].

[tex]L = I \cdot \omega = 0.0317 \times 75.4 = 2.4 \; \text{kg}\cdot \text{m}^{2} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}[/tex].

The angular momentum can be determined by obtaining the angular speed and moment of inertia.

The magnitude of angular momentum of the bowling ball is [tex]2.4 \;\rm kg.m^{2}/s[/tex].

What is angular momentum?

The phenomenon by which the momentum of a body under rotational motion is determined is known as angular momentum. It is expressed as the product of the angular velocity of the body and moment of inertia of the body.

Given data:

The mass of the bowling ball is, m = 5.5 kg.

The radius of ball is, r = 12.0 cm = 0.12 m.

The rotation of ball is, N = 12 rev/s.

The mathematical expression for the angular momentum of the bowling ball is,

[tex]L = \omega \times I[/tex]

here,

[tex]\omega[/tex]  is the angular speed and its value is,

[tex]\omega = 2 \pi N\\\\\omega = 2\pi \times 12\\\\\omega =75.4 \;\rm rad/s[/tex]

And I is the moment of inertia of bowling ball (considering it a sphere). And its value is,

[tex]I = \dfrac{2}{5} mr^{2}\\\\I =\dfrac{2}{5} \times 5.5 \times (0.12)^{2}\\\\I = 0.0317 \;\rm kg.m^{2}[/tex]

Then, the angular momentum of the bowling ball is calculated as,

[tex]L =\omega \times I\\\\L = 75.4 \times 0.0317\\\\L = 2.4 \;\rm kg.m^{2}/s[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of angular momentum of the bowling ball is [tex]2.4 \;\rm kg.m^{2}/s[/tex].
