In a playground there is a small merry-go-round of radius 1.25 m and mass 175 kg. Assume the merry-go-round to be a uniform disc. A child of mass 45 kg runs at a speed of 3.0 m/s tangent to the rim of the merry-go-round (initially at rest) and jumps on. If we neglect function. what is the angular speed of the many-go- round after the child has jumped on and is standing at its outer rim?

Respuesta :

Answer:

ωf = 0.82 rad/s

Explanation:

By conservation of the angular momentum:

[tex]I_c * \omega_o = (I_c+I_m)*\omega_f[/tex]

Where [tex]I_c[/tex] is the inertia of the child, [tex]I_m[/tex] is the inertia of the merry-go-round.

Solving for ωf:

[tex]\omega_f = (m_c*R^2)*(V_o/R)/(m_c*R^2+M_m*R^2/2)[/tex]

[tex]\omega_f=0.82rad/s[/tex]

The angular speed of the many-go- round after the child has jumped on and is standing at its outer rim is 0.82 rad/s.

What is angular speed of a body?

The angular speed of a body is the rate by which the body changed its angle with respect to the time. It can be given as,

[tex]\omega= \dfrac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}[/tex]

In a playground there is a small merry-go-round of radius 1.25 m and mass 175 kg. A child of mass 45 kg runs at a speed of 3.0 m/s tangent to the rim of the merry-go-round (initially at rest) and jumps on.

The initial angular momentum is,

[tex]L_i=m_cvR[/tex]

The final angular momentum is,

[tex]L_f=R^2(m_c+\dfrac{m_m^2}{2})\omega[/tex]

By the conservation of momentum,

[tex]L_i=L_f\\m_cvR=R^2(m_c+\dfrac{m_m^2}{2})\omega\\\omega=\dfrac{m_cv}{(m_c+\dfrac{m_m^2}{2})R}[/tex]

Put the values of mass velocity and radius as,

[tex]\omega=\dfrac{(45)(3)}{((45)+\dfrac{(175)^2}{2})(1.25)}\\\omega=0.82\rm \;rad/s[/tex]

Thus, the angular speed of the many-go- round after the child has jumped on and is standing at its outer rim is 0.82 rad/s.
